Quote: maurice "I would hazard a guess that Hocks contract was settled at £x against the full term of £y with a difference of £z, the Doc then put a caveat in that prohibited him playing against Salford for a period which he was happy to sign to become a free agent. Leigh then sign Hock as a free agent at an affordable wage due to pay off. If Hock is selected to play against Salford because his employer requests him to do so, he is in breach of the terms of his settlement which would be a cash difference of £z and settled by agreement or in a court - Derek B the individual may then decide to pay that out of his own pocket as a consequence of requiring Gareth to play as part of his contract with Leigh.
Derek may decide that Hock could be the last ingredient to reach SL together with the central funding increase of £1.3m per season as a result, and that the amount payable is a sound investment.
Marwan has been naughty on two recent instances with Gareth/Leigh 1) when announcing to the world his signing after we had set up a press conference 2) When announcing to the world after the draw that Hock couldn't play in the fixture - maybe Derek is saying enough is enough and has the cash to meet the consequence as he believes the value of making him look silly would be worth it.
Time will tell, personally love it - all good fun with the penes resting on the ruler.'"
