For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy

Micky Higham also won two of those and an England cap, but the Aussies didn't want him either.

| Quote: Father Ted "As we know Hock has been given a 2nd row shirt. Whether he will spend the entire season playing there to me is doubtful. Both him and Lauaki are back rowers but can play prop. Hock played prop last year and was very good, Lauaki played 2nd row in 2011 season yet was listed as a prop in the signing press release by Wigan.
As they become more senior players in the squad I can see them both playing at prop more each season.'"
i'll go along with most of that FT.
i think a lot of posters who are screaming for Hock to be the best second row in superleague, forget that the world class form they saw at 2nd row was 3 years ago. Hes older, and hasnt got the youthful athleticism and the turn of foot, etc,...hes still a good 2nd rower, but IMO he can be a WORLD CLASS prop.
hes got the strength, hes faster than any present superleague prop, and......hes got the "biff factor"...the "dont mess with my team mates " factor.........chuck him in at prop and watch him go...............light the blue touch paper, sit back, and enjoy some biff.........

and plenty of knock on's and silly off loads, he will prove me right, it is inevitable that he will screw up again, he is a dumb ass plain and simple, we should have terminated his contract as soon as he picked up that 5 game ban, a leopard does not change his spots

Do you know Gareth Hock personally do you? He's worked tremendously hard to get himself back on track. I cant take anyone that uses the words "dumb ass" seriously anyway.
Knock on's and silly offloads are both things that can be corrected with the right coaching, anyone who knows anything about Rugby League and people high up in the game will all tell you that he has the potential to be a world class second row forward, he has pace, power, he can step, he has the size, his defence is solid and he has a huge passion for the game.

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 |

[quote="headhunter":lnxdgxk2]Union people are idiots. They almost universally accept that league is a better, faster game played by better athletes, yet for some reason they continue to disregard and belittle it. That game is tedious as hell from start to finish. If he'd ever played or even bothered to give more than a fleeting chance to league he would realise that the game is far more 'technical' than Union ever could be. Booting the ball into touch, scrummaging and forming rucks and mauls aren't areas that involve any skill, technique or mental capacity whatsoever. These are clumsy, outdated facets of the game that are also extremely uninteresting to watch and thus have to be defended in some way by people who are too prejudiced to see the truth.[/quote:lnxdgxk2]: |

Tbh ill take bake bean boogie on because he's right- Gaz Hock is hyped into something hes not by thousands of wiganers and the gaz hock love-a-thon on these boards is a joke IMO.
He is a player who has continully let us down - manhandling refs / taking drugs / gouging players etc - He's thick as two short planks and unfortunately simply isn't clever enough to be a world class second row forward that people claim he can be 'on his day'.
The only time he looks world class 'on his day' are when his dumb offloads are lucky enough to come off and make him look good -He doesnt have the intelligence to know when and when not to offload and simply offloads at all costs - Sometimes this makes him look awesome but for every good ball there is a stupid one that loses us possession - this has always been the case with gaz hock. He's Danny Sculthorpe all over again! Plus the fact he's grossly indisciplined and will give away two penalties a game.
World class forward always makes me laugh - he could be world class if he had a brain but unfortunatlely Hock struggles for the odd brain cell never mind a brain.
I hope he does prove me wrong, but unless he suddenly becomes an absolute world class forward of jamie peacock standards for the final 4-5 years of his career, he'll always have taken more than he's given.
Im with Baked bean boogie the gouging incident should have been the end, we should have finished him. He's a prat plain and simple and he'll never be what people on these boards make out!

| gerr'emonside, i don't think that anybody who post and reads here would disagree with all the negatives you agree with BBB on. However, i am happy that most people who post here have a more positive approach... I for one would rather have him on the inside pi$$ing out, than on the outside pi$$ing in, to butcher an old saying.
