Derek And Marwan were just extras in the Rinder show, he doesn't half love himself. It is the first time I have seen a courtroom where the judge asks the question, gives the answer and asks if it was right. As mentioned above, the three of them didn't do Hock any favours. Trash TV at its best.

Topps as it turns out, if anyone is in the slightly interested.

Evening Charles & Cokey. Thanks for your efforts at lightening things up.

End of thread, perhaps?

Very much agree Bongser.

As a neutral, I actually thought it was good TV, and way less embarrassing than I had imagined. Fair play to them, they have a unique way of trying to promote the sport.

Hock certainly didnt come out of it well, seemed Marwan was way too nice to him and got taken for a ride. Very similar to the Denny Solomona case, so perhaps Leigh are lucky that Salford didnt take Leigh to court and ask for compensation? After all, if Salford had signed him for a 6 figure sum, they could have argued he was still a big asset.

Without trying to get a bite (honestly), it made the accusations of "illegal approach" to Toronto look a bit rich.
