Any info in the Paper in relation to this story, for those of us non locals?

Not seen any papers but Hocks link with the Eels is being reported on SS News.

Quote: Paul2812 "Not seen any papers but Hocks link with the Eels is being reported on SS News.'" and the Beeb's website (www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/20152746) Also Sydney Herald: ''I can confirm we are in discussions only, at this time,'' Eels chief executive Ken Edwards said. Former Great Britain halfback and current France coach Bobbie Goulding sparked speculation about the possible move, tweeting: ''My contacts in Aus tell me Gareth Hock signed for Parramatta Eels 4 year contract signed today''. Good luck to him, but can't say I'm impressed at YET ANOTHER drain on our game.

We could do with the BBC buying rights to show one Sunday afternoon match. That would certainly drum up interest. Sunday afternoon games are a dormant space and audiences would certainly rise.

It's a start.

Basically at the moment they are just turning over the same article that has been in the public domain for the last 3 or 4 days.

I will be intruiged to see what IFL says on the matter in the Evening Post.

Going off past history, you may be waiting some time.

best too second rowers in the league, imo!!

you never know maybe its the club looking to sell them rather than players wanting to leave???

I'd e annoyed if he wanted to go and with good reason. He signed a contract and should honour it. Simple as that.

And that is before you factor in the help he got off the club during his two year ban that probably went a long way to saving his career.



The reason we have kept pat Richards is because he has chosen to honour his contract.

Look at the difference between the two situations (if Hock asks to be released which it isn't clear he has done yet).

Wigan have no reason to sell Hock. In fact given it will weaken the side even further than it has been already you would think any inquiry for one of its best players would be met with a polite but firm refusal in exactly the same way Bradford knocked back Leeds inquiry for their centre this week.

The fact it clearly has not been met with a refusal given it's now reported on the BBC that discussions are on-going between Wigan and Parra calls into question just what on earth IL's is doing here. The report should be reading "Wigan refuse to sell Hock to Parra" not we are in discussions with them about selling him.

Me to. I am hoping he will be saying he's going nowhere.

There is supposed to be something in tonight's Post from IFL, which I would be grateful if someone could post details of on here.

Phil Wilkinson tweeted last night that Lenagan didn't exactly deny it when asked yesterday about it.

I think it's all in the transfer fee haggling now.

do the distance selling rules apply to buying season tickets?

just wondering if it's really worth bothering anymore

has somebody got any GOOD news? anyone? just one bit?

This I feel could be a tipping point for many fans with regards to ST renewals. They have tolerated the club letting players go to Union and players breaking contracts to go back home. However, if they let Hock go with 4 years left on his contract, that is a big message from the club. A message that they have lost all ambition. It is all very depressing.

just been told there are 3 clubs in for Hansen aswell as NZ Warriors!!!!

seems the slary cap uplift over there is working.

Renewed 4 season ticket's yesterday. With all this going on now wish i had not bothered. Feel really disheartened.
