Quote: Gareth Hock has made it clear in face-to-face discussions with me and via his agent that he has no intention of playing for the Wigan Club. This is hugely disappointing to me, to the Wigan fans and to the Club who have all treated him well.
""Gareth Hock has made it clear in face-to-face discussions with me and via his agent that he has no intention of playing for the Wigan Club. This is hugely disappointing to me, to the Wigan fans and to the Club who have all treated him well.
"We have gone to unique lengths to help him get his life back on track after his ban two years ago including increasing his Contract voluntarily on two separate occasions to help him financially against a backdrop of his threats to leave. The Wigan Club has consistently supported the player and has done all that any Club could be asked to do.
"We acceded to his recent request for a move to Australia on the basis that a change of environment and a different competition might be good socially for him, provided it was also financially beneficial to Wigan. However, this did not transpire. Even though better offers have been now received, he has made it clear he does not now wish to move to Australia and will not play for Wigan.
"A line has to be drawn at some stage and whilst with immense regret at losing a player of Gareth's quality, who I believe is still a Wiganer at heart, we have concluded that that time is now for the good of the 2013 Wigan Squad, the Coaching Staff and for the Wigan fans.
"Since I and Wigan are not prepared to allow Gareth Hock to play for one of our major competitors, we have decided to retain his Registration and to allow him to move on loan to Widnes Super League Club with whom we have an excellent relationship. He is not allowed to play against Wigan in any competitions.
"In terms of rationale, it is known that Gareth was upset that Shaun Wane took away his number 12 Squad Number - hardly surprising in the light of his expected departure to Australia - but we were expecting him to concentrate on his injury rehabilitation and to fight for his place in the Team.
"Having stood by Gareth Hock, we feel let down by his attitude under both Michael Maguire and Shaun Wane since returning to play for Wigan.
"I have instructed Wigan staff to now leave this issue behind, concentrate upon the coming season and make no further comment."'"

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

| Quote: Vectrabeast "If that is how you want to decipher it then thats up to you. I have been led to believe that Hock hasn't spoken directly to IL, that all conversation has been through his agent and also that contrary to any statement from the club Hock hasn't missed training or rehabilitation. I'm not claiming that everything I have been told is gospel, just that I believe most of it to be true, there are bound to be differences of opinion when information is coming from various sources but what I would class as the important information is pretty credible to me.
I'm not spreading rumours about the club or any individuals I'm merely giving my opinion based on information I have. (information that I have kept entirely to myself)'"
Did Lenagan state in that press release that he had spoke "face to face" with Hock?
That's not interpretation, that is published in black and white.
Wigan chairman Ian Lenagan stood by Hock during his drugs ban, but added: "Gareth Hock has made it clear in face-to-face discussions with me and via his agent that he has no intention of playing for the Wigan club.

However, a number of electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

No what your saying is that you believe IL isn't telling the truth, aren't you?
Quote: Vectrabeast " My understanding is slightly different though, that Hock hadn't spoken directly to IL that all discussions had been done through Hock's agent.'"

| I think Pie Eyed summed it up perfectly, we're going round in circles with rumour and innuendo that potentially could get some people into a lot of trouble. The main subject matter about Hock himself hasn't really been discussed for some time now, so it's probably best if we leave this thread alone for now.
Representation has been made to the site about some of the subject matter in this thread and "[ipeople from within the club are aware of the false comments....... and if it persists then they will persue the matter further.[/i"
I would suggest people don't repeat any of the rumours or even imply what they are, even by PM. Closing this thread doesn't mean people can start the same conversations on the Wane thread, thanks.
