The Leigh chairman was on the radio saying if he's fit to play and selected he's breaching his contract with them if he doesn't play.

They are useless generally but,on this one,I don't think they have anything to arbitrate on,and don't want to touch it with a barge pole.
The facts seem crystal clear. He's signed a compromise agreement which in itself can't physically stop him playing but can set out the financial consequences of doing so. I don't think Salford will need to pursue him through the courts,I think he will pursue us for the agreed payoff on his contract. Can't see him getting very far !

I would imagine Marwan be will happy that Hock is playing, saved himself quite a few thousand pounds.

Surely the governing body,has a duty,to prevent clubs and individuals from charging head on into a potential legal argument,thus costing one of them an expense that they can't afford.
I suggest they are staying away from this one because they are timid and totally out of their depth,with no individuals capable of a firm decision.

They're certainly out of their depth

If Hock plays does he risk compromising any future payments owed him by Salford?

If that's the case then you'd think that the Docs been hyping this as he'd like to save a quid or two.

As for the RFL getting involved, they should as it's potentially damaging too RL, but they won't because they are as we all know spineless.

I'm sure that if Hock does play he will be targeted for wind ups and sledging, I'd be very surprised if he doesn't get sin binned or sent off. Pity that Patterson isn't playing as that is one fight that would be worth the price of admission alone.
