Here we go again, rumours are that Hock is on the way out & that he wants to come to Leigh. Hope we tell him we're not interested in the slightest. https://twitter.com/TheTrevorHunt/statu ... 7667531777

I'd rather have Harrison Hanson. Noticed that Harrison was really enjoying the game against the Bulls. Sat not far from Derek Beumonts box.....

No thanks. (To mr Hock that is)

Gareth is a very talented Rugby player ,and when his aggression can be harnessed and channelled into playing Rugby ,he could be a very valuable asset to any team.Im not sure where he would fit in at Leigh with the Salary Cap, but it would be very interesting to see and hear Leigh fans reactions if we did sign him.

Starbug here , IMO it would be madness to even consider , we have it would appear a really good team spirit that will be needed to achieve our targets , to bring in a nutcase like Hock would potentially wreck us


No no no no

Some fans didn't want Sam Barlow, who is now a fan favourite. however, Hock has never shown the ability to concentrate on his rugby and appears to be a lost cause. If Leigh were to offer him a contract, I would hope it is full of get out clauses for ANY misdemeanours.

Hock is a player from two era,s a hard lad who pushes the limits thinks nothing of bangin another player will go out and stamp his authourity on the other team by whatever means a typical player from the 60s 70s.The other Hock is a World Class forward who on his day is up there with any player currently playing rugby anywhere in the World...Would i sign him no the current team at the Centurions are a great bunch of blokes who have all bought into the family values of the club are good mates and look after each other any player who Derek & Paul bring into the family need to have these special values to keep the Centurions family together has one body of men.

Ian you are right on BOTH counts in your assessment of Hock,would I have him in our Squad?Yes IF Paul R thought he could control him and Derek thought we could afford him.I understand Leigh fans not wanting him ,but what would be your opinion if we signed him?

I'd imagine plenty players want to join us. The most vibrant club in the UK. If we can get the best out of Hock, should he sign then we have the best 2nd rower in the country!!

My opinion if we signed him..First I would have him assessed by BUPA then book him in for a Lobotomy.LOL
Just jokin I would support any player brought into the Centurions Family..

Barlow has youth on his side and an apparent willingness to learn from his mistakes. My garden shed has got more brains than Hock. No thank you.

Better get the garden shed signed then ASAP

No Brainer get him signed - he needs to feel loved. PR is the man to sort him out and get him enjoying his RL again. Look forward to seeing him in a Leigh shirt soon - about 5 weeks.

Sam is young enough to change and nurture as we are already seeing the benefits. His best years are still ahead of him.

Hock is beyond control and will never change and his best years are way behind him.

It would be abuse no from me.

I wouldn't sign him.

However, if our Director of Rugby and Head Coach think we can use him then I'll back their judgement.

Don't like him, don't want him, don't need him.

Rather have somebody like TG or Sarsfield who would run through a brick wall for this club and their team mates. Wouldn't be happy to see somebody like Tommy or Haggy replaced by that moron in our 17.

Hock in Playing terms is on different level to anything we have or indeed anything our comp or outside the top four in SL has to offer.

I can't see any deal happening as I would estimate he's on at least twice Fui Fuis salery at Salford and to put it into perspective his current would be more than Derek and the whole of the BOM including myslef have invested to date in the club combined let alone on one player. I also doubt we have a great deal of room on the cap now either to acomadate another massive earner.

If Hock leaves Salford I'd see him going to RU the only way we could get him here would be by way of a massive severance deal and pretty much a write off of his existing contract by Marwan if he wanted shut so badly.

World class forward but an absolute liability and in a squad that's so together and tight knit like ours would you risk upsetting that balance and the apple cart???

Harrison was in my box with his missus (next to Derek's) he enjoys watching Leigh when he can and he lives in Pennington. Has nothing but praise for what the club are doing at the minute and did say he would love to play here in the future but he is loving following in his dads footsteps and skippering his home town team.

What's all this webpage not available lark?

I hope we don't sign him. He's a loose cannon and if he hasn't learned his lesson by now I don't think he ever will.

Spent a great afternoon with Gareth at Fax today, he loved it.
