Seriously, we can't ship him off to Oz, we've just outed him as a bigger prick than before and we've loaned one of his few remaining prime years (although injury impaired) to Widnes. The only possible place for him to go next year is Leeds...
At a massive knock-down price.'"
Are you serious?
You've seen what's been said, he wanted to go, Wigan were trying to arrange the move, it fell through.
The Oz club came back with a bigger offer, Wigan were interested, Gaz Hock wasn't.
Xmas comes and goes and he doesnt report back for training/rehab and his Agent & he decide to tell Wigan club they don't want to play for Wigan again.
2/3 weeks to sort out move to Widnes, job done, statement made!
What do you suggest? Should he be Tweeting the ongoing personal disucssions?
Blogging it? Maybe set up a Faecebook page were we can invite Friends etc to join in?
FFS - It's a legal matter between club & player and discussions cannot be held through the media and certainly updates given to the public in the media.
From what I know good on IL for dealing with the issue in the manner he has, it potentially would have been easier to try once again to accomodate him and where would that have left team Morale,standards at the club etc?
No-one at Wigan would want a fully focussed and behaving Gaz Hock at the club and you can bet your life that IL wouldn't want to lose him.
But sometimes it just gets to a situation where enough is enough and to me that time has passed.
