the only reason were on sky this week i think is not cause the big one cause sky want too have a hock return on tv they wouldnt snub leeds v bradford for nothing would they

Yes Leeds vs Bradford has been a shte game for a long time now, there has been plenty occasions when its not been on TV.

Simply cannot wait to see Gaz in action again! I've seen him in the gym and he looked like a brick outhouse. Let's get Hudds on the pitch and, to quote Maximus Decimus Meridius, unleash Hell!

I think that Hock will definitely play next week because Wigan will want him to build up his fitness towards the Warrington cup game which will be our hardest game this season and saying that I include the World Club Challenge, the Wembley Final (if we get there) and the Grand Final (when we get there).

Can't agree, Rogue. He and we have waited two years and it's imperative to our assault on the lucrative Challenge Cup that he starts asap.

Sadly there's no reserve games for a while so it's likely he'll be chucked straight in. Hope he can make an impact and repay the club for standing by him.

If his ban would have ended before Tuesday they could have played him in the 9's but sadly not.

Really want to see Hock playing this weekend, but not at the expense of anyone who played against the Stains; they were huge and deserve their places again this week.

Really hope Hock get's a game, can't wait

Hock is playing

Think he will be on the bench, he needs to feature in the 17 as we need to get some game time into him, to build his match fitness and match awareness up for the big games ahead.

Can't wait!

Went to the Quins game on Saturday and was chatting about Hock in the pub with some mates.

Looking forward to seeing him back - he looks in ridiculous shape and should be a shoe in for England at the end of the year if he can get to anything like previous form.
