Wow.

If that's truly the case, then I would hope that he gets 6-8 matches, given his previous (even discounting the second one, he got 5 matches for grabbing the ref the first time).

Absolute moron.

Having just watched the video Bilko put on twitter I'd like to know what happened in the next 5 seconds. Whether he stopped to apologise and helped the ref up and walked away. He looked off balance then braced for impact. His reaction after would give a better indication of whether he meant it or not.

Well there it is - a 7 match ban. Did we get some money for this clown. A great bit of business if we did - we could easily have paid to have him off our hands.

That looked a bad one and nothing like the last. As Eastbourne Warrior writes, he looked off balance an was bracing for impact but just as easily, I could see that it could be a deliberate step towards the ref and shoulder charge.

Either very unlucky or very stupid!

Well, my Mortgage is on "stupid"
What a clown... he's lucky not to get [isine die[/i with his record.

I can't think of too many sportsmen who've wasted their career quite like Hock. He's so talented yet has never been able to fulfil his potential other then showing the off flash.

I always wonder if somebody like Mike Greg could have kept him on the straight and narrow? I doubt it though as he doesn't seem to have a brain that would allow him to respect anybody to that degree.

I suppose it rankles more on here because we gave him so many chances which he threw back in the club's face.
Salford & Widnes before them were always in denial about "when" not "if" this was going to happen.

Hock is still one of my favourite players to watch. IMO, on his day, hes one of the top 2nd rowers in the world

Just a shame hes a complete tool

I think Hock is the type of character that no coach could keep on the straight and narrow. He just doesnt seem to think before he reacts and after seeing him on Super League Supermen, discussing things like being kicked out of the England set up, he just doesnt understand why he has done wrong in the past.

Hock blew his final, final chance when he walked away from Parramatta and took the easy money on offer. I'm struggling to think up someone in any sport who has found so many ways to squander away god given talents. It's enough to make you weep when you compare his talent and potential with someone like JJB, a man I admire who has made a great career through dedication, attitude and selflessness.
