Does anyone else think that this headline and story wouldn't be a surprise in July...(ala Tevez and Man City....

[sizeHock returns to Wigan[/size

Gareth Hock has made a sensational return to Wigan Warriors today after a hit and miss loan spell at Widnes. Hock, who has played only 10 times for the Vikings this season, is ready to return to the DW Stadium after being shown the exit door only eight months a go. Wigan Chairman Ian Lenegan publicly slammed Hock after the second rower was accused of turning his back on the Cherry & Whites by refusing to go to training sessions or rehab after a shoulder injury. Lenegan said "A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then and we want quality players at this club. Gareth will strengthen our bid for a league and cup double". Wigan, who play Hull FC in this weekends challenge cup semi final can call upon the service of Hock as he sat out Widnes' 4th round 78-0 thrashing by Swinton Lions meaning he isn't cup tied and is eligible to be selected. Hock will also look to help the Warriors, who are currently 5th in Super League, to a strong finish and a Grand Final push.

Can't see them being as high as 5th in july tbh.

someone said hock is a penalty machine, then YOU compared him to westwood and boasted about how he 'made three hundred metres more with the ball'.

I was then correcting you and showing Westwoods superiority with ball (and in defence)

But, if it makes you happy....

Westwood penalty's - 22 = 1.2 Penalty's per game

Hock penalty's - 24 = 0.96 Penalty's per game

So both players average 1 penalty per match

what was your point again?

Can't see Widnes keeping Swinton to a score that low.

Even if Hock was superior, he doesn't play for Wigan anymore

...........and isn't likely to play for them again.
