9 pages and only a rumour God help us if he actually signs for Leigh!!!

Id love to know and read examples of why he would disrupt the dressing room and also listen to stories of him disrupting previous clubs dressing rooms....... good luck in making those up !!

Yeah Ok.....

Starbug here , the problem with Hock is you just know that come the big ' decider ' with 3 minutes left and a 4 point lead he will Give away a stupid penalty and cost you the game and the rewards of it , he obviously cannot help himself

From what I have now read, and from what I know of the current Leigh set-up, the Centurions do not need Hock. Leigh already have a couple of hot-headed young men in their ranks that could cost us valuable points during the season. We do not need to add to that, especially in a key season.

The current Leigh pack is more than good enough for this level of rugby and has good youngsters in reserve too that can come in as back-up.

If promoted, surely Leigh wouldn't be looking at the likes of Hock anyway?

Like someone has said, Hock is no spring chicken, is a liability and would be a gamble. I don't beLeighve (lol) Leigh need to take such a gamble.

Surely the OWNER of the club and not Mr Norris the Chairman would make a decision on the signing so to say the Mr Norris wouldnt Jeapordise the club is fair enough but would Mr Beaumont?

On that basis then if you cannot pay your full timers a decent wage, how could you afford Hock?

Koukash interview on Sky sports news made interesting viewing. States he never wanted Hock to leave

Trevor Hunt Tweeted that Leigh have called a press conference for 4pm tomorrow - Jarrad Hayne on loan is my guess

According to trevor hunt on twitter, we are holding a press conference tomorrow at 16.00. Oh dear i have a horrible feeling. I just hope if it is hock we know what we're doing.

now that i would love

The term sh*t or bust comes to mind

Never jump to conclusions tomorrow's press conference could be something totally different.

The LSV might be sponsoring Salfordlad baseball hat,or Tufnell using Mo's forehead to advertise their Business.

If we do get Mr Hock and again a BIG if I think most will welcome Gareth and wish him a successful time at Leigh Centurions ,I know I will.

If this is true I can 100% guarantee we will be playing super league next year! One scary pack we will have!

I was at that game also. I was talking to possibly the same person I think before Salfordlad, I can verify that he told me the same thing as he told Salfordlad.....and yes it was his words.....not mine also

If they were that poorly paid, then why sign it? There are other RL clubs they can play for, i assume they were happy to sign it, and derek did not hold a gun to players head. Also presume there may be a sl clause, were if we attain sl then there wages go up significantly.

So it looks increasingly likely that Hock will soon be a Leigh player. If this is the case then I hope he realises what a lucky lad he is and that this will probably be his very last chance to finish off his career in style. Despite my personal feelings about him as a professional RL player, if he joins our club then as far as I'm concerned he starts with a clean sheet and I'm sure all Leythers will get behind him and welcome him to to Leigh Centurions with open arms.

Young players going FT is about their future, young squad players will back themselves to be in a better position after FT to cement a career in RL, if that doesnt work out they are young enough to play PT and work

I recall a Saints back rower who was a SL regular on 17k in 2006

Well apparently the player I am talking about is very happy playing for Leigh.

It's definitely not about him.

Hock AND Barlow????

Holy moley!!!!

Eek.

What we DO know is that there is going to be an Ad Hoc press conference. What we DON'T know is whether it will be an Add Hock Ad Hoc press conference.

I think it's a big gamble for you tbh. He's got talent, but you seem to be making great strides atm and signing a guy like Hock could prove to be disruptive. He's acted like a spoilt brat his entire career, on the field, and apparently off it aswell. Not to mention its a lot of money to be spending on a guy who may be banned as often as he's available (let's face it, he might not be on Superleague wages but it won't be peanuts either).

If he does sign I hope it all works out. We need strong clubs like yourselves to have a genuine chance of promotion for this new format to work.

I have absolutely no idea, I do not work for the club. I was only putting out there what had been said by someone who does work for the club.

There is NOT a press conference at 4pm Tomorrow it has been postponed.
