| I saw him in the Vale Royal on Wednesday afternoon, absolutely huge.
At the moment it would be hard to drop anybody for him, however I'd love to see him let rip in the front row eventually.

Thats good then, as id be a little worried if he wasnt training, i know you can get in good shape in 10 weeks (ala ricky hatton), but prefer it that he keeping himself in shape, can put some serious muscle on in two years if he dont have to worry about staying game fit!
Plus carvery all good for replenishing vital muscle building protien! As long as he dont take wheelans advice and get on the pies all will be good!

i agree 100%!! for me, since he's been away from the club, there seems to be alot more togetherness in the team, i wonder IF he does come back,(and its by no means a certainty that he will get a contract here after his ban) what effect him returning will have on the team.

Yes, but we won away at Wire and people wanted to 'change' the team, we won 58-0 and people want to 'change' the team, injuries, suspensions, drop in form, all these mean that there will be room in the squad for players, especially ones as talented (in rugby terms) as Hock.

Terry was sat on a table outside, his shoulders were too big to fit through the door.

| Assuming he's not lost any of his formidable natural talents i think Hock would walk into the current Wigan team.
I’d take him at prop over Prescott and O’carrol and I’d also take him at the moment over Feka.
At 2nd row he’d walk in over Bailey as well and I’d love to see him start on the bench and give us some impact as it’s the only real area for concern at the moment imo.
Let’s not forget just how good of a player Hock is! He’s a game changer and one of the best 2nd row forwards in the World

Given what Maguire has managed to do with the likes of Joel and Hansen, it would be fascinating to see what he could do with natural like Hock.
Unfortunatey, he can't start doing anything until Hock's ban is served, so it could be quite a while before we see something special.

Lol there is nothing better than a pessimistic Wigan fan.
Two years isn’t that long out of the game for a 26 year old who is still keeping himself in condition.
Like another poster said a pro can get back into condition after about 10 weeks of hard graft and this will be drastically reduced if he’s already been doing some work anyway. I fully expect Hock to step up his training when he’s almost ready to return.
Hock, if started on the bench, will easily be able to handle the speed of SL as his game has never been based around a high work rate like that of a Bailey or Hansen but Hock’s game is based around brute strength and banging out of tackles.
Like I said Hock is only gonna be 27/28 and I can’t see him losing many of the talents which made him one of the best 2nd rows in the world.

| When Hock was playing, Wigan were so predictable that the opposition knew when he was recieving the ball and therefore gang-tackled him, sometimes causing him to lose the ball.
If he stepped into the present system of dummy runners and good ball movement he would be sensational. Just hope he has reformed.
