Quote: JTB "Is it just me that can't see his 'offload at all costs' game fitting in with Madge's gameplan? I honestly can't see him slotting back into the team in any position.'"
You can’t judge Hock on how he played back then as simply it’s a different Wigan.
Let’s face it we all heard some horror stories about the discipline and poor training methods in those pre Madge days and we only need to look at how Piggy transformed his game with some tough love to realise how much Madge works with the players in training and how good of a COACH he is. Simply all of our players are now better because they’ve been coached by Madge; guys like Coley and Fielden could be different people for the worlds of difference they’ve shown under Madge. Guys like Hansen, Gouulding, Joel and Lockers are defiantly, 100% better players, all make less errors and have all really kicked on under his guidance. I’d happily sit here and argue that Hock is the most naturally talented out of all of them and I’m very excited to see what Madge can do with him.
Exciting times to see how it works out.
