not to be confused with WPM.

guilty of gouging...he pleaded guilty?

got a ban.....end of.
lets hope he learns

They were always going to end his season as minimum punishment imo. As for the evidence given it sounds a bit ropey to say the least but hes been half let off by not having the full ban so he has to now sort himself and get ready for next season and come back with his rugby head on. I hope he didnt intentionally gouge Harrison because if he did i fear his temperament will get him banned again very quickly.

The biggest shame (for Wigan fans anyway) was he was starting to look good again, making decent runs and offloads. If Hock doesnt come back and win some silverware (with him playing obviously) he has only got himself to blame.

I said the same thing, if there had been 6 or 7 games left i think they'd have given a 6 or 7 game ban. Despite all the tub thumping from most i think it's a fair ban, ends his season and if you make the final ruins his day a little.

He did get the full whack. There's a precedent, four matches for gouging. If he'd have got a longer ban it would have shown there are double standards within the game.

Just like the outcry with Mick Govin oh no not then either!!

Said above dont htink he ahad the sole intention of gouging but once his fingers found themselves there he had a go. Was stupid and 4 matches maybe 5 should have been the punishment (but 4 being the standard set!) The game for the punch is a joke for me but they couldnt have him returning for the Grand Final!

loving the meltdown on certaain other forums

really is pathetic lol

Yes but you lot did want Mason hung drawn and quartered for standing on Feildens ankle.

But if you read most Wigan fans view on the gauging, they think Hock should have had the book thrown at him.

I agree with what some have said. I think they've given him just enough so that he misses the GF, if we get there.

I've only just been able to watch the sam 'kicking' incident and the hock 'gouging' one. Have to say I was expecting both to have been far far worse going by the reaction on these boards. Hock was stupid and hot headed and left the rfl with no option b ut to ban him for the minimum.

Correct. Biggest over reaction in the history of the game.

No Just a ban! It was a cowards trick.

People have been calling for Hock to have a life ban which I dont think was mentioned with mason!

Give Hock some support not negative feedback come on. The Wigan hate mob make me sick. The lad needs support of true Wigan people with a passion for this game not a hate mob watching him like hes on big brother. Get behind Gaz i think he needs support at this moment in time, Next season he will probly be a local hero again??? Back stabbing 2 faced parasites comes to mind,

Support? I support any Wigan player, but I can't and won't support his actions against wire.

When he's onsong and not doing stupid things he's great to watch, but equally when he is being stupid it's painful. He could be a great RL player if only he kept his temper in check.
