The saddest thing is that could easily be the case.
The system needs looking at, this year it has been a mockery of sham. For what its worth, I think the ban he has received is about right. The explanation as to how they came to it is crazy!

I wasn't saying it should be more, I was saying it wasn't fair on Howell, as they both committed nasty foul play, yet Hock - hardly a clean fella - got a game less.

As for telling people to shut up, with a track record like yours, don't you think you should take your own advice? Just occasionally?

The first part of my post was aimed at you about the whole Lima/Radford situation

The last part was for the people saying he will get 5 years if he did it on the street etc...

sindie would be too short for that thug
once saw a player get sindie for chastising a ref fo giving a goal that missed the posts
but he wasent playing for WIGAN jus a Wigan lad

Spot on!! Unfortunately its not just on here!
Hes been punished! I didnt see an outcry against Whitehead for biting but because its Hock its seems open season.
Think the fact that Harrison wasnt injured has helped him, the punch was a nothing punch and if thats worth a game then there should have been quite a few more given throughout the season.

I liked Wane's comment that this sort of thing is out of character for Hock. Is it 8 or 9 times he's been up before the beak? Unless he specifically meant the offence in question - in which case it's even more amusing.

5 games is enough. Over a month's worth of games and ends his season.

He's an odd bloke Hock.

I don't think it'll be too long before you turn on the TV and Gazza's trying to intervene with chicken & lager.

He just never seems settled in his head, I've never seen him look happy.

IIRC a London Skolars player got a 4 game ban for Gouging, Hock's is 4 for the Eyes and 1 for the Punch.

RFL actually been consistent for once...
