He only posted his opinion, one I actually agree with.Don't be so precious

He didn't hurt Harrison. A caution would have been sufficient.

so should we give hock a pat on the back

The Quins player pleaded not guilty which it seems p*ssed the judiciary off, hence a hefty ban.

Ends his season and possible Grand Final team place.

That will hurt him enough.

Good one.

suppose he as badly let his team mates down and the club who shown faith in him and stood by him

He's let himself down badly - again.

As a fan I'm extremely disappointed in him and I'm sure the club are.

I thought it should have been 6-8 games but its ended his season and I think thats probably been factored into the decision.

I'd like to consider myself a pretty neutral fan and don't won't write rubbish like "Sam Tomkins' dad is on the disciplinary panel"

but that ban is a joke. In fact the bans are completely inconsistent this year.

Whitehead got 5 games for biting. Fully deserved as we don't need that kind of play in our game. Reason why it was only 5 was because he had a clean record. As bad as biting is, gouging is much worse, plus take the fact Hocks dismal record (even taking the drugs ban out of it), it is a stupidly low ban. He should have had the book thrown at him and the RFL should have showed that it has no place in our sport. What do you have to do to get 8, blind somebody???

Then also we got Ryan Mcgoldrick doing one of the most dangerous tackles i've ever seen getting nothing, yet every week players get random bans for "undue pressure nonsence"

One for punching? He missed anyway, and every week we see punches thrown and no bans.

cheers it's nice to have a sensible wigan poster that is unbiased
