Not in a million years.

No, the only GB or SL backrower id swap him for is Ellis

sorry i shouldn't laugh at a genuine question

Hmm??



Devastating runner for a whinging Tart?

Keep him

Haha Wlikin, average player in a good team.

I think his improved attacking form is something to do with the weight (muscle) hes lost the season. Im pretty sure he was a Stand Off when he was just starting the 1st team. I think too much bulking up limited his attack and speed. He seems just right now for a Loose imo

I personally wouldn't swap him for Ellis either because both are totally different styles of backrower.

We have players(Bailey and Hansen) similar to Ellis(but not as good) but nobdoy like Hock.

i rate wilkin highly but he isnt better than hock and neither is ellis.

You think I was serious?

Lmao! Wilkin is not in same league as hock.

Hock is all power, aggresion, skill and wilkin is a pretty boy poser

Being saints fan i did think you was serious.

but i applaud you for being honest and not wearing redvee tinted glasses

The only thing I'd tweak about Hock's game is his offload timings, other than that, I wouldn't have him any other way regardless of the penalties he may give away.

His aggressive, free-style type of play is unpredictable and often off-the-cuff, I wouldn't want to change that in the slightest.

as Mr Brian Carney said " he's all arms legs and tattoos"

Yes.

Hock seems (

) to be getting the consistency into his game that was lacking before. It helps not getting suspended/injured as well which has always affected his seasons.

The past few weeks he's been absolutely outstanding along with Willow and Lockers in the forwards.

His was limping off the field saturday.

He seems to limp off every game recently but still manage to turn up the week after. Hopefully that will be the case again on Friday.

After every break in play i notice that Forshaw gets in some uncomprimising positions with Hock to stretch out his back i think. Thats something thats been happening for years so maybe thats the problem.

thats cos he took his boots off and stood on a drawing pin !

I think that he has a hip problem and that its a long term thing. I have noticed him holding his hip for quite a long time.

Haha..I see what you did then!

they reported him having a tight back which could lead to a hamstring problem.

A second row partnership of Gareth Hock and Ben Galea would certainly do me.

Took his boots off and limped from the field.
Far too injured to train this week.
Thursday will see a remarkable recovery and declaration of being fit to play.
Friday he'll have a blinder and contender for MOM.

Saw him limp off, when did he pick injury up though?

On Second Rowers, Worrincy has been looking great for us so far. His powerful running and perfect timing have got him some good tries, I hope he will become good for us. I think the only SR i'd rather have (despite age) would be Menzies, he's been immense so far this season and I have no idea how, at his age, he can do what he does for 80 minutes.
