Gareth Hock can only wish to be the player that H is.

Here you go...

Deluded

Well I hoped you had twigged with the my comments are all in good nature but you did rather set yourself up for some flak by starting a negative thread about the player.

However I simply do not think what you say above is true i.e. he is more replaceable. The simple fact of the matter is we do not have a player as good as him to replace him when he is out so by definition the team must be weaker when he is not available. If we do have such a ready made replacement, then name him.

IMO, HH is quite simply the Mick Cassidy of the current Wigan team.

Make of that what you will, but I think the "Cassidy role" is just as important to any team as any flash of brilliance from a cheeky half-back.

As I said on the Wire board, Hansen is our Ben Westwood. He tackles anything that moves, hits hard and runs hard. Well done H keep it up!

I bet that went down well

TBF I think Ben Westwood has improved dramatically over the last couple of years, and pips H in attack.

I honestly don't know how people can even put H alongside Pat. Pat is without a doubt our best winger and one of the most valuable players on our team, his MOS award documents this.

Pat is a points machine. Yes HH has stepped up of recent games and is playing well, of current form he is more than worthy of his place in the team, which is fantastic as all I want is the team the improve and win all comps.
