That's what I was hoping, Unless he was just referring to the new deals handed out. |

[size=100:2md8k3b3][b:2md8k3b3]'Do you remember when we had that meeting in Orlando? We talked about how we were knocked out the previous year by Leeds. And at the end, I asked you one question. "Do you want to be a semi-final team? Or do you want to do something special?" You all said you wanted to win. But talking is easy – it needed you to believe. It needed you to work hard – harder than you had – and make sacrifices. You did all that. you worked for each other. You stuck together when it was tough. And because of your efforts, you sit here tonight as champions. I'm proud of you. Be proud of yourselves. You've done something special.'

I'm feeling much more positive about the season if Hock is staying. He's our 'go to' man in the pack and along with Tomkins will always give you a sniff of winning any game.
Great news about the new deals as well. These were signed ages ago I believe but it's nice to have confirmation. It's also nice to see that the club are looking after Lockers both in the short term and long term by offering him a deal on the coaching staff when he retires.
As long as Hock does stay we'll do ok next year. I'd love to sign an experienced centre but we can't have everything.

I've always been a big Hock fan, but thinking about him and winning games, I am struggling to remember any where he has actually come up with something which has made a major difference in a tight game, which forwards like Graham, Lockers, Sinfield, Peacock, Westwood (even the likes of Feka) etc could reel off. Cameos within games he certainly has in his cv.
Would love to be proven wrong. |

He was pretty immense against Saints at Langtree park for starters. |

Hello all, not sure where to post but this seemed as good as anywhere!
Just read the talk in AUS is that your trying to get Willie Tonga, not sure if its Hock transfer fee or totally separate.

I agree totally with you on this one Finfin,i too have always marveled at the genius of Hock's play although the majority of these were in walk overs when we were the totally dominant side,i haven't seen too many of these performances when we were in the trenches so to speak,a classic example is this seasons GF semi against Leeds where he was almost anonymous
Gareth is a luxury player who can rip sides to bits when it suits but i would swap him anytime for Gareth Ellis |

So that puts paid to the rumour of a bust up with Wane because Hock's squad number had been given to Farrell then I assume? |

Seems odd that he's been given Hock's number. |

What numbers Hock got?
Maybe the club thought he was nailed on to leave. I wonder who's got the 4 shirt also!

Surely it isnt that hard to just swap numbers late in the day, very odd as Pemps said |

Odd to change his shirt number. Maybe he's planning on using Hock for impact? Definitely think he needs to be rotated more. Did way too many 80 minutes last season imo.

It seems that Parramatta are having major problems in their efforts to sign Israel Folau,it seems that the NRL are objecting in a big way to how Parramatta finance his contract.
This is throwing all plans to keep under the cap into chaos.
Below is a small piece of an article in Thursdays Sydney Morning Herald,it seems that the Hock negotiations are over.
"The delays in finalising Folau's deal have already had repercussions. The club has all but given up on luring English forward Gareth Hock to the Eels, while they wade through the Folau fine print.
Manly this week announced the signatures of Eels players Justin Horo and Esi Tonga, as the Eels attempt to free up salary cap space. More could follow if the Eels are unable to reach a suitable arrangement with the NRL. Willie Tonga, a former teammate of Folau's, has been mentioned as a player who might make way for his fellow Queenslander".
