Quote: pondmonster "Just appears to be getting better game by game. Does anyone think he will struggle to keep his place next year with Hoffman coming in, Mossop back and possibly Hock coming in added to Hansen?
Hard to drop him on this form, but you haveto assume that Hoffman will be first choice, then any one from 4, unless Hock is going to play prop / go to Penrith.'"
It's up to Hock to prove he's as good as he was - 18 months out of competitive sport won't be good ofr him and it'll take a while for him to get back up to match speed.
Think with Hoffman, Mossop, Hansen and Farrell to start the season in 2011 we'll be fine and then if Hock is upto the task then he'll get his chance too. Would hate to see someone get a game on the basis of them being a big name though.
