yeah but hes no westwood

OK so here's a downer: Hock's got some frightening form to go with his talent. How long before the salary-cap enhanced Aussies wave a wad under his (and Lenegan's, cos he's under contract) nose?

They already have once, haven't they? Whilst banned.

That is the worry though.

Or Ablett.

never happen

he would never leave his family or son..all he wants is his family around him.

Surprised there wasn't as much reaction to Hock straight after the game....

Tomkins seemed to be the name on everyone's lips straight after, but I went out of the game feeling Hock was the best player on the pitch. I said to me old man numerous times through the game that he was tearing us apart at regular intervals. He's had his critics in the past (and rightly so really) he served his punishment though and has come back a far, far better player.

Would walk into any side in the World for me..

I love what Richard Agar said. Anybody who wants to tackle Gaz Hock has to be prepared to throw themselves under a bus! That with his pace, agility, aggression and ball skills make him as good as any 2nd row in the world for me!

But compare the league to that of 10-15 years ago and he would never have got on any of the top sides.

Apples and Oranges. Ablett is a centre. Haven't you heard?

Is he? I thought he was a 'jack of all trades' type player he's that good?

Exactly!

He's no Tim Jonkers that's for sure.
