The RFL Disciplinary rates gouging the same as biting.

I'd expect nothing less than a 6 match ban, just in the interests of consistency. Wouldn't surprise me if it was 8 given his previous record.

It's a shame because he IS a good player when he lets his rugby do the talking.

By the way, all this rubbish about Wigan being a dirty TEAM, that's just embarassing. Facts are simple.... Warrington played a LOT better than us today, and had some good fortune with the bounce of the ball. Hock let us down with that incident, it spoiled what was really quite a good display of Rugby League.

We were far from our best, I hope we're back to our best if/when we meet in the playoffs or Grand Final... because I'm sure we'll give you a better game. Hopefully like the Challenge Cup match.

Well played today.

pretty sure, sam and lima spoilt it before that, plus a few other incidents as well.

But he is already defending his player without seeing it....

No place for what he did in RL, having done it he's shouting at Harrison pretty much calling him a mard , do one Hock.

Deserves whatever is coming his way, hopefully a spell out.

Just ask Morley how important your vision is, not something that should be tampered with.

Such bores on the SL show... if that type of thing happened in footy, Alan Hansen and co would be absolutely slating the player.

Just watched it. 8 games and hopefully more

It is a contradiction. I think he speaks far too quickly - literally, he's finishes most sentences before has has started them.

I suspect he meant to say that he doesn't buy into the fatigue factor from Wembley but that we built pressure which took a lot of their energy which, in turn, let to uncharactersistc things happening.

At first it got me thinking, was it a ploy to get Wire players to fight, weakening us for the Hull game with the inevitable suspensions that would come with it, then i realised it was Hock and he's a big dumb sh*t and probably doesn't even think 5 minutes in to the future.

Easy mistake to make. You'd also assume players are unlikely to get a suspension as they would be acting in self defense.

Hock was just risking a hiding doing that, too. It is obvious he has the intelligence of a cabbage!

On a slightly related note, did anyone see rhp on sls on bbc1, he was almost condoning hock's actions.

8 Game ban minimum for me. Disgraceful act, should be dropped from the Wigan club too, they should make a stance.

He's an angry young man, probably stemming from the fact he has a face that looks like a small child has drawn him, a left handed kid at that.

I heard there is a certain type of drug that if you take it, it makes you angry, he should definitely stay away from that drug, can't think of its name.

"Oh nooooo, not another ban! Help me Mr Lenagan, I can change I promise!"

That's far too good looking to compare to Hock. He'd put the s up Peter Cushing

I wonder if Wigan will take internal disciplinary action against him... If a Warrington player had done that, I would hope that the club would come down on them like a ton of bricks.

you can't have your cake and eat it... if vadge hadn't seen the incident he shouldn't comment until he has, he has commented and you now defend him by saying he didn't see it!

McGuires win at all cost mentality produced its worst example yesterday. His two years at Wigan will be remebered fondly by the pie munchers but some of the 'techniques' he has introduced there aren't my idea of RL. Just hope Shaun Wane doesn't carry on in the same vein.

As awful as Fadge has been for the british game, he has some smarts. You need to be smart to properly get away with being such a basterd. I think Wane needs Fadge to tie his laces in a morning. He has always been an ape and not a particularly smart one.

be interesting to see the players plea to the gouging charge.. i imagine it will go something like this.

[iThe player explained about the techniques that they are coached and that they have individual reviews of opponents. They were briefed that Harrison has recently had a bad ear injury. The Intention was to tackle the player without causing any further damage to the players ear. During the tackle, the player (harrison) thrust his eyeballs out towards the fingers of Gareth Hock, creating the impression of gouging. The player was infact trying to protect the ear in the tackle.

Mr Maguire reiterated that Hock's priority was to prevent any further damage to the ear. Mr Maguire encourages his players to ensure the safety of opponents and in this instance Hock ensured that harrison's ear was OK. Shaun Wane also added that there was no "undue pressure on the eyeballs".[/i

They added, Gareth made a spectacle of himself and not to worry, we'll keep a lid on it

Just seen the incident on Sky and Hock is looking at a ban, no doubt, he will be banned.

The punch is nothing more than a 1 or 2 game ban.

But the incident directly before that when Hock puts his fingers into Harrsons eye socket

He must of thought he was Jose Mourinho
