I think even he can kneel down without practising.

I am genuinely amazed that after 3 incidents being suspended for abusing refs, plus the rest of his rap sheet that the Rfl haven't said, you know what Mr charnock, we dint want you playing our game anymore, and exclude him from the sport

I can sum up hock with one word nutcase

The word i had in mind i cannot use on here

There can be no one who's surprised by this - Hock is a total moron with an absolute inability to play the game within the rules; he's proven that time and time again.

Why didnt Thaler give him a yellow card after the first offence and a red after the second...

such a waste because he showed at times last night just what a good player he can be.

From what i recall of the game he didn't see the first and the linesman came on for the second i think to inform him of the 2 incidents.

He will/should get a ban though this week.

Like someone else has said - he looks like he is deliberately trying to get sent off.

It's a pity. His early offload was sublime.

If he could cut out the brainless thuggery he would be a great player.

He's strong and skilful and could/should be an RL superstar. Instead he's only known for being a dick. I honestly think he needs help

We don't need him in the sport where actually playing the game can hurt.

It's about time the RFL realised he's out to seriously injure someone every single week and tears up his registration.

I would not be so sure.

I think he struggled the second time. He seemed to dip the knee, then kind of think better about it, and then go, nah stuff it, I'm bored anyway.

The first one was the worst for mine. The second one was a bit half-hearted.

Professional development task. Must do better at kneeling.

Let's just hope that no referee's lose their footing near him.

A mindless thug, he should be excluded from the sport.

You would miss the comedy gold.

3 games for each incident. Another 6 weeks paid leave for Gareth.

I love reading club submissions to disciplinary hearings. They use words you can be pretty sure the player doesn't even know the meaning of.

Wonder if the RFL are going to take any further action over his homophobic language on social media where it can be seen by millions? If you get five games for saying something on the pitch within earshot of a handful, what's the punishment for saying it on Twitter?

I agree the second one was a bit half-hearted, but with his record, you hardly struggle to give him the benefit of the doubt.

It would never happen, but I agree we don't need him in our game.

These things are personal views, but, for the same reason, I feel the same about Greg Bird.

Thick as pig that guy

Wouldn't like to see Hock banned for life as although over the years I've seen a few assaults I've thought would warrant such a sentence, none has been committed by Gareth Hock.

Eye gouging surely should warrant a lifetime ban.

In the past, Ashley Cole has been fined £90K, Rio Ferdinand has been fined £25K & £45K, Ryan Babel has been fined £10K.

As these are all football fines, then Hock would probably be fined the RL equivalent...........about £60!!

This guy is so dumb he has a track playing on his iPod with the words "Breath in, blink, breath out" on repeat. What a Richard the third he is.

Just goes to show how badly he has been coached throughout his career
