I thought he had signed for Barrow.

So did i, but hearing thats not the case anymore . Rumours till its made public i know, just wondering if anyone else had heard. Cheers Charlie

Hock wanted more money, and we told him we will leave it.

Of course , Hock could always change his mind if the original offer was to be placed back on the table.

Why don't Leigh build from the bottom and bring in youth with a 3-5 year plan. You won't compete with Toronto, Widnes etc so stabilise the club

Hock is old and useless.

Same with a few others Harold that got offered half than what they already on you can’t blame them for turning them down

How many players do you think we'd produce in this 3-5 year plan ? , given all the best kids will be signing for Wigan,Wire and Saints before us

You're not Wigan Wire and Saints. How many kids will they promote into the first team over that period?? You could bring in the fringe players and develop them.

Fringe players from where ?

Whilst 'beggars can't be choosers' I wouldn't be too worried if Hock doesn't sign. As a part-time player at Featherstone, he was only capable (when we played them) of (very) short bursts, and his fitness seemed lacking. Forwards who are capable of playing long minutes, may be much better for us.

To be fair on gaz he did not have a pre season and this is were players drop weight they've gained from end of season and start of pre season,personally I'd take him back in a heart beat because he plays with his heart and can change a game

HE SIGNED FOR BARROW 4 WEEKS AGO! What do people not get? Ever since Monty posted his bull, people stopped looking at what was staring them in their faces. We are not in negotiations with Gaz because he signed with Barrow weeks ago!

They offered him a contract cherry but it was far less than what he been offered at barrow so as for saying it’s bull it’s not ask the fella yourself I did

Good luck to young Gareth.

Travelling up to Barrow is a long, cold and lonely trip especially in the dark winter months. Plenty time for thought during the journey. It's not for everyone it has to be said.

You can very quickly wonder what you agreed to when the phone call came through during a warm summers evening sat in the garden, soaking up the rays whilst the steak is sizzling on the BBQ...

Plenty players from this area to travel up with last season they had a mini bus going with players taking turns on driving so not as lonely as first thought

Fev couldn't afford him, but Barrow can !
Must have got a decent fee from Wigan for Joe Bullock then...
