I know there's been a lot of talk of Hock putting on a load of size during his time away - but if he's a similar build as he was - or even if he's bigger and retained his pace - there's no reason he can't also be aimed at 2nd row/centre role similar to Joel. Hock's wide running is incredibly destructive, and as much as we all remember his brain-farts, his offloads could also be sensationally effective. He's got the speed, the power and the hands to be an outstanding centre. We've a plethora of back-rowers at the moment and short on centres. Joel and Hock lining up in the centres, with Hoffman/Farrell/Mossop rotating in the 2nd row. Now that's a scary thought.

I agree with Joel in the centres. He has the attributes to be successful there but i certainly dont think Hock has and with time/age he'll go the opposite way ie futher into the centre of the pitch. To me Hock isnt light footed enough nor does he have the raw pace that Joel has. Adding to that i think centres need to be clever no disrespect to gaz but i just think he's a back rower fullstop but will be a bruising front rower in a few years. Joel seems like he's got a decent brain on him despite the odd brain fart he has, and the biggest thing going for Joel is his age he's just about at the right age to swap positions with a decade of rugby infront of him.

Joel as the pace and agility to be a top line centre Hock doesn't
