| I just hope Spencer was injured today...... if not, he needs to be in the team next week! Hock will probably play next week, as we have a few banned though...

| I'm still leaning towards the theory that Hock is trying too hard at the moment. You could see his class on his debut, he just needs to get his head down and get on with his game.

| Youre taking a pie eaters bait - shame on you
Hock will be reet just not yet, but if we had completed first half it would have been 50

| I agree with Muar. I would give Gaz a bit of time.

| I don't think Hock is arrogant ,as I've said ,I don't think he's fully fit yet,and did he get injured?I'm not sure.

| He did get injured and Spenner was injured which was why he did not play.
Hock will play a very important part in our team this season imo. He has been unlucky with injuries since his debut.

I mean us in general, not just Hock..... a lot of people are calling our team arrogant.

| Gareth Hock made one mistake other than that made 10/15 yards for every drive. Numerous Leigh players made plenty of mistakes in the first half. Gaz didnt get chance to make amends due to injury. Get off the lads back.

Should be dropped, Emmitt, Spencer, Aspinwall, Sarsfield, Walker and Tracey should all be in before him.

I don't think it is...... The players are buzzing and quietly confident that they can beat anyone on their day. Not a bad thing really?'"
Not sure about Tracey & Walker (think Walker will be a bit of a Alex Brown, came with big fanfare, lost his place in the team & couldn't get back in) agree all the others (& Fui) are playing better at the moment. Hock needs to earn his position in the team & he's not really done that yet in my opinion. I'm sure he'll get plenty opportunity to do so and he needs to really take it. Don't care what his name is, there's big competition for his position & the best player should get it & that's not him at the moment.

That's one thing Gareth Hock just simply isn't capable of doing. The guy is a danger to himself and everyone around him. He was a player with great potential, having the physical attributes and talent to be a sensational, world class, player. He proved during his early career at Wigan that his personality was not conducive to professional sport. He never achieved consistency at any of the clubs he's played for and controversy is never too far away with him.

Very much agree Ste,Hock unloads the ball maybe 7 out of 10 tackles in the same way Sam Barlow does ,if they come off they look great and if they don't the player is accused of throwing the ball away,for me we should have players following Hock and Barlow all the time looking for these unloads.

Agreed offloading is a great skill & really helps our game & the way we play. However while Barlow makes a half break, looks for the player running alongside him & passes it neatly to him Hock seems to go into a tackle, look to get the ball out then fling it. We've had a few players over the years that seemed to suffer from "Offloading Tourette's" it's not always the best thing to do.

| If you have a prop forward who always looks to unload then one of his team mates should be there to take the ball.
