Sad to see him go if he leaves, we'll miss his impact, but we have plenty depth in the squad in terms a second rowers. At the end of the day, he's 29, he's hit his peak and for every good thing he does in attack, he generally does something equally stupid and he's one of our poorest defenders in terms of both effort and technique. They may not be as flashy, but I'd be content that a Hansen, Farrell and Lockers back three with Tuson, Hughes and Lloyd waiting in the wings will fill the gap adequately. Hughes and Lloyd in particular have massive potential improvements to come. As good as Hock is, the big trophies won in 2010 and 2011 were without him, so he is far from irreplaceable.

I'm far more concerned about the unproven halves, the depth in the centres and how reliant we'll be on Sam / how he'll be replaced in the long term.

Bit selective there. 13 from 30 overall at HKR.

Better than Brett Finch's 18 tries in his 60 games for Wigan.

My Dad used to work part time at CP, and spoke with legend Brian McTigue, who was his hero.

Apparently, 'Mac' used to say to the backs, "just follow me, you will get some trys" !

What an understatement !

Hock could do this. Nowhere near as a ballplayer or enforcer like Mac.

AFAIK, 'Mac' never got sent off.

Got quite a few 'carried off', but never got sent off.

As an ex-boxer, his fist never travelled more than 6 inches.

In a season practically written off with a freak injury! I am confident in a team like Wigan with the quality of players he'll have around him Green will be a revelation,his support play is excellent, added to which he has a fair bit of pace. Really sorry to see him leave Rovers, but wish him and Taylor all the best for the future, and hope they pick up a bit of silverware in the coming seasons.

Sadly the views of people who've actually seen him play regularly seem to mean very little for some! It's way easier to just say "We used to sign Trent Barrett!" and declare rugby league in this country is dying
