Wouldn't suprise me if this happened.

Of course Maguire always does pick on form but there's normally an injury or 2 knocking around and I think he'll play. If we look at the minute we've got Jack Hughes on the bench and if we were in a similar place injury wise come the Giants game he'll play.

I don't think Maguire would bow to pressure to play the lad but if he can fit him in he will.

Agreed

The most devastating and dangerous backrower in SL before his ban.

and will be after

If the ban has made him more focussed as it surely should have done he should be even better then before.

It'll take him a while to get going but long term this could be the making of him.

Hocks never been much of a fighter either IMO. He has a menacing stare and an aura of a nutcase about him but he's never been involved in too many scraps. I remember Ned Catic trying it on at Wakey a few years back and Hock didn't look like he wanted to know. There's nothing wrong with that either as pointless fights will do him no good. He plays the game tough and that's more then enough.

Correct

I don't know where this myth comes from regarding Hock and fighting. I can honestly say I've never seen him look remotely interested in fighting.

Did he not give fat boy Solomona a couple of decent cracks a few years ago at the DW whilst he was at Wakefield?

I've seen him scrap up Wigan a good few years back. VERY handy lad. He has it when needs must.
In fairness after Gaz's recent issues I think it would be in his interest to walk away from all forms of trouble to build a good rep.

It rings a bell but one case in so many years suggests he isn't the raving lunatic some would have you believe.

He needs to leave petty fighting to the average joes and concentrate on what's he's best at. That is hurting teams in attack and defence by legal means. A fabulous player when he gets it right.
