Whilst this is a complete non-story (given it was explicitly stated he wouldn't play against Wigan at the time) it is a real shame he won't be playing - would be real box office.

Betts knew the terms of the loan. Poor show to complain about it now. And I've lost a little respect for him.

Same here. Well said.

I'm a Wigan fan who would prefer that the Hock business could have been sorted out, and that he was playing for Wigan.

OK he is a dumbell.

But he is also the best attacking forward in the World at the moment.

There are rumours that the main issue is Hock does not get on with Sean Wane.

Again, my impression is that Wane is no intellectual at all, like Hock.

I would like Hock to play against Wigan for many reasons on Saturday.

But I would rather he didn't, as he could rip us to pieces.

Hock is a thorough low intelligence idiot, but we have had players like him since the year dot.

We have controlled them before !

Couldn't this have all been sorted out ?

DB is just clutching at straws for me. He knows even with our numerous injuries, and their slight improvement in form from last season (IMO) he still must know the odds are with us, so I can understand his strategy of trying to provoke IL/SW into letting him play. We don’t need the agro, best not to risk possible suspensions as a result of his ire, and I dare say DB might wish he hadn’t bothered if any punch-up ended with another spell out for their new favourite too. As for me, Mr Hock has made his own bed, now he should take Saturday off and, lie in it!

I wonder if someone has had a word in Dennis's shell like? www.sportinglife.com/rugby-leagu ... ntribution? Rather large suck back here

Epic fail from betts.

"Iv made a complete @rse of myself, so now il kiss wigans and paper over the cracks"

Calm down dears, it's only a bit of banter.

Wouldn't surprise me if Wane & Betts are both in on it. Not worth getting in a tizzy over.

Shame Hock isn't playing though. Be great to see what goes on!

Not really:

1) Hock has a grudge against one of the young lads (why?) and has a pop, gets sent off.
2) Hock goes out to prove how great he is, gets sent off.
3) Hock is frustrated that Wigan are winning, gets sent off shouting at the ref.
4) Hock, wound up by his ex-team mates gets sent off.
5) Hock injures Farrell and is recalled to Wigan, spring is sprung and the messiah returns in time to score the winning try on Good Friday.

This was my thinking

I think our esteemed owner may have contacted Steve O'Connor for a natter.....

It would have seemed not!

"I don't think you could say anyone in my team is scared of anybody. Those childish comments hurt my players. They were really focused going into the game.
"What they did today was how they practised all week. We were ruthless in how we attacked. It was a great win but I'm not going to get carried away. It one of those games where a lot went our way."'"

Nice tattoo that on Carnley's arm!

He looks a right twit[sizetwoo[/size
