Surely he just needs to move away from Beech Hill to escape his old life as opposed to uggering of the Aus?

I'm sure the likes of Greg Bird (and his ilk) will be at the airport to welcome him with open arms!
I regularly read that the press treat NRL stars much like our press treat Premier League footballers and that some players move to the UK to get out of the 'goldfish bowl' that is the NRL - Doggie Monaghan for one, Tim Smith for two.
Not sure this would be the most ideal environment for Hock to be in at all.

I'm not a huge fan of Hock - the main reason being I don't think he has the brain to back up his terrific physical talents.
Personally it wouldn't bother me too much if he went. But that's just me and I can understand why others really like him. But I prefer solid, reliable players who play with intelligence. I wouldn't want to count on him in a high pressure situation.

Well he's in talks with Sydney Roosters for that exact reason, I guess we'll just have to wait and see what the outcome is. There's no better judge for what is best for him than Hock himself.

So he moves to Standish say. What stops his friends heading to Standish to see him? I doubt they can hop a flight to Oz as easy. |

That would be some back row if they got SBW and Hock! Hope we can keep him, but if this is what he needs to escape his old life, that is so much more important than rugby. |

The Roosters are having significant cap problems due to the arrival of SBW and are having to release players to accommodate him, they have also resigned Minichello, so if true I would be less concerned due to the package they will be able to offer him. |

A lot in the game agree with you, which is why the game doesn't produce maverick players who can turn the game on its head in either direction. Get the public talking, put bums on seats.
The game is now stereotyped, insular and incestuous. |

You make a good point - maybe thats simply the way to win in the modern game. |
