Quote Grego="Grego"I doubt that there will be any shortage of teams willing to offer him a nice large contract when his ban is up. Everyone knows that he can be a gamebreaker on the pitch and it is up to the people in charge at wigan whether they want to sign him up again or not bearing in mind that this is one guy that will be able to come back and make you regret letting him go. We have to make these decisions now though as how the club approach this issue now will determine what he decides to do in 2 years time. Personally i would like to think the club would try to help him through this time and then try to reintroduce back into the game if all has gone well once his time has been served.'"
The club stood by Jon Clarke in the sense they didn't cut him off dead but then when he got back into the game he was IIRC helped to find another club.
Wouldn't be surprised to see the same happen again especially if the back row forwards we have in two years are playing well.
I am sure the club have no wish to do anything that would make Hock's situation any worse than it is but at the same time they have to consider what will be best for the team two years down the track.
Provided he looks after himself I am sure other clubs would come in for him but if Wigan decided to let him go I would not question that decision.
I don't think the club should say now that he has a job back in the side after his ban is up but should say its a possibility and dependant on a lot of things such as how Hock behaves in the next two years, how he look after himself and what the requirements of the side are.
Any sniff
of him reverting to the bad behaviour often rumoured on various forums and they should not re-sign him. If he goes elsewhere as a result then it ought to be good luck but no thanks.
