Bobby Goulding has just tweeted that he's off to Parramatta too. Might be some truth in this.

He also tweeted Wigan got a fee which would be a first in the modern era. There hasn't been an international transfer market for years.

Leeds Rhinos received a fee for Greg Eastwood,he is apparently paying so much off his yearly contract himself too

Bradford got decent fees for Sam and George Burgess.

Well I am genuinely surprised. Most players seem to go (or come here) for free at the end of their contracts.

Well if this is true i can honestly say i am pretty gutted.

Not just because of the clubs loyalty to him during the ban (although i concede that the club are cashing in?)

Mainly because i like players like Gaz

He is pure entertainment.

I don't know how to read this,who is off to Parrammata. Goulding or Hock ?.

Another bit of news (not worth starting another thread) Sean Anscough is leaving Bradford for Aus as well.

This seems to be gathering pace and if it happens I'll be a worried man about our hopes in 2013 and further tbh. What is the club doing wrong that is making these lads leave? Or is it the complete opposite and we're just doing a lot right meaning other clubs/sports are looking at our players?

Whatever the reasons are Ian Lenagan, Shaun Wane and Kris Radlinski need to find some answers quickly. Our side has been re-built over the last few years but it's falling apart quicker then we built it in the first place. I think we all know Tomkins will leave within the next year or two and we needed to be in a really strong position when that happened but the way things are going that won't be the case. We look like being a young side, losing their best player and spearhead who'll have followed a whole raft of experience out of the door.

I've had full trust in Lenagan since he took over and have always thought he'd see us through most things but he's got one hell of a challenge on his hands in the next couple of years. He must stop the player drain or we risk going back to square one!

I'm not sure even he'll be able to fix that sadly.

What happened between them?

If Hock goes to the NRL, we really need to have some top quality signings lined up, when in all likelehood Sam will be off next year as well.

Hock owes Wigan some loyalty for standing by him & id be surprised if he wanted to go, but I imagine the wages will be higher.

If he goes, our pack becomes even weaker, when I think most agree its weak already.

Well, lets all pray that Piggy knows what he's talking about... This on Twitter a short time ago.

mark riddell ‏@riddell009
@PhilWilkWIG gaz would never leave Wigan!

So is this from Philk Wilkinson discussing it with Piggy:

Phil Wilkinson ‏@PhilWilkWIG
@riddell009 just been told he's keen on the move too. Looks like you may have another babysitter to call on soon!

Wilkinson also said he will put the question to Hock at tomorrows England press conference if he is off.

I take it that was the reply... Well, we shall see if he is willing to comment tomorrow. The general consensus with these things is that if they don't want to talk about it, something up? Right?
