And bums on sofas will fall without quality players, i know people who are not RL fans who will watch a game because they've heard of how good Sam Tomkins is , and he is probably one of the next big name stars that will leave

"Games as big as a grand finals define individuals and clubs. Remember we are only renting these shirts, I had my time in Pat Richards shirt. Ellery and Faz had there time in Sean's, Hampo and Radders in Sam's. You have to make a mark in these shirts that's still there the day you hand it over to someone else. So be aware for 80 minutes you are not only playing but also writing history and creating a legacy. How many people get to actually write history, not many. A big stage demands big players, be inspired. You play for Wigan, now go do it. Good luck." - Martin Offiah, 2010.:27588.gif |

Hock has pretty much confirmed what we all knew in this article, he saysIt was my choice to leave [to Widnes],'' Hock said. ''I didn't get on with the coach, so I asked to leave. I just didn't get on with the guy. It's just between me and him'"
This means he may consider a return in the future if SW wasn't at the helm. Who knows what the future holds though?

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

I was one of the people willing to give Hock the second chance.. He had it, he's gone.. There is no way SW or IL should or can comment, i think IL said it all.... No way back for me.
Awaits the people "In the know" |

He did not get voted WBW by anybody apart from Leeds fans and Stevo and he never will be. Don't be fooled by Stevo's hype. If you listen to him long enough you will believe that we will smash the Aussies. I can even remember him and Eddie a couple of years ago saying that they would prefer to have Kyle Eastmond over Cooper Cronk! We are however all entitled to our own opinions and rightly so. |

There is no such award as 'World's Best Winger' BUT he was included in the RLIF 2012 'World 13'. The best 13 players from each position. So he is if not the best Winger in the world, he's in the top two. I'm pretty sure Leeds fans or Stevo didn't have a vote on this. I could be wrong though... |

Rule 1. I am always right.
Rule 2. If in any case I appear wrong, refer to rule 1.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42170.jpg |

He was named THE best winger in the world. Only one player per position selected.

| Quote: ian-m "Seriously! Ryan Hall the perfect modern day winger! Can I take it from your statement that you have never seen the NRL? The NRL is the elite, best of the best, that is why Ryan Hall is not there. He is not the best winger in SL never mind in Oz.
SL is now a joke. Understandably the best players will go and test themselves in the best comp, and that is NRL. When Wigan is signing a 31 year old RU prop it is time to bail out. If I had wanted to watch an ageing yawnion player I would pay to be bored at a yawnion match. SL cannot be taken seriously anymore. Sam will not return and who would blame him? Thank god I can watch NRL, NFL and NHL on sky.
Unfortunately English RL is dying! Up Up Cronulla!'"

Oh yeah obviously, but if it had been a Wigan player it would've been fully deserved. As obviously Charnley is twice the player of Hall. |

So we're not left to assume what did you mean by "tokenism" in respect to Hall being voted as the world's best winger? |

Just a token gesture to keep people in the RFL happy. Pick a random player from the current successful team. |
