In true conspiracy therory rhetoric, the fantasist tries to take the moral high ground when questioned as we cant handle the truth!

Now cut out the attitude. If you want to have a discussion then discuss, saying things like 'this gets better by the minute' highlights the derogatory attitude certain posters have towards others.'"
Okay, I'll cut out the attitude and ask you a simple question, which you can answer without compromising anyone.
You assure us that IL is not lying. Therefore, the bits in IL's statement which say that Gareth Hock demanded a mid-contract pay rise, and then demanded a move to Australia at short notice, and then, later, when Wigan provided a potential move to Aus for him, turned it down and said that he would never play for Wigan again - are all true.
Now, in all honesty, do you not think that Wigan RL have better things to do than be messed around like this, by a player who they previously went out on a limb for? Regardless of whether or not a third party is causing problems for Gareth, do Wigan Warriors really need that kind of hassle in their lives?

I could quite easily post that I know something and refuse to divulge what it is, but how many people are going to believe me without more detail? None is the answer.
As for gettimg upset by my apparent tone, again what do you expect when after every comment you claim that person doesn't know the truth but aren't prepared to state what the truth is. Maybe you should have just said nothing?'"
Just be normal, trying to be the big man? WTF? By saying there's another side to the story which I don't feel comfortable talking about to others?
Ok, lets leave it at that, we are obviously going round in circles.

Thats the second time you have said you don't care who believes you, but constantly take umbrage with anybody who questions your knowledge. If its such common knowledge, post it.

I am being normal. I simply want to know why there'll be an exodus of players from the club.

Hock wanted out due to the unstated reasons, which I too would have wanted to leave over. Hock never wanted to go to Aus or play for any other club, he simply felt he wasn't getting the deserved money, and via his agent (basically his agent) were using the interest from Aus as leverage to gain more money. Hock signed a 'lesser contract' if it wasn't for the drugs ban he would have been on considerably more. He wanted a wage which reflected his ability (one of the best players in the league if not the world).
Regardless of such I have no opinion on his contract negotiations, they happen all the time in sport, and agents do have different tactics to up the salary of the clients.
What my concern is the reason why Hock wanted out.

This hasn't been answered.... or perhaps it has by the silence...?

These statements seem to contradict each other.

The issues which forced Hock to want to leave came after him wanting more money to stay.

| It seems we are finding out the influence of GH's agent.
He tries to get Gaz more money, due to Hock believeing he is worth it, then ends up with having his client leaving the top of the table club to play for the team that finished bottom of the League.
I do hope that's not true and I've read something wrongly into this. If the above is anything like true then I genuinely feel sorry for Gaz.

He did want more money. Then a major issue with Wane hit which caused him to just want out, regardless of money or anything.
