Until Hock signs that contract then he's a Wigan player, only time will tell. If he does go then we have to look at our youth, as people have pointed out before, we have the best youth system in the league, maybe we should trust in it ?

Let's imagine at the start of the season Hock has left, we have the Hock money and we keep it in a safe. Tomkins departs the year after, we have the Tomkins money and the Hock money, if my maths is right we can afford pretty much anyone according to the rumours on here. I think people underestimate how much we are paying to keep Tomkins.

I'd rather have 12 months of rebuilding rather than 4 years of no silverware and buying random players to keep us going.

Lets look at this from a purely Wigan POV, if Hock leaves, it's a massive blow, but is it the end of our season ? The simple answer is no. Instead of knocking IL and Wane, let's have a bit of belief, it's not like we can get relegated is it !

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
