Hocks season is over he wont play in the playoffs unless someone gets injured and does not get banned.

He actually played well i thought today but ultimately proved he is still the liability he always was with his utterly stupid behaviour.

He can change a game with his offloads but i just do not think it suits the way we play these days, we like to play with structure not off the cuff panic offloads. Id sooner have other players in the 17.

Hopefully see you next year Gaz on the back of a full pre season.

That's how I saw the incident on first viewing but I would like to see it again. In Rugby wheather that be League or Union eye gouging is pretty much as low as you can get but I got the sense he was giving Harrison a facial and it went abit wrong.

If the disciplinary see it as accidental (as if like to think it was but I'm not sure) then it's still reckless and he should get 2 games IMO. If they see it as a purposeful gouge then he should get 5-8 games IMO. It's that serious in all honesty.

I think one thing I take out of this thread is that Wigan fans speak honestly and unlike a lot of other fans don't always keep their club coloured specs on. The very vast majority would back a long ban if the RFL see fit.

I'm not sure if the boot was on the other foot we could say the same ( I await to get shot down by the same people that would make nothing of it if one of their players did it).

Didn't see it from the back of the away end and haven't watched the game back yet, but judging by what's been said by some of the more credible posters on here it looks pretty damning.

No call for that at all.

To be fair you where doing perfectly well without him during the start of the year. Cant see why any ban will stop wigan doing well in the playoffs

i think its going to be difficult to NOT make a case for this being the charge.

his hand did end up on his head in the tackle... but he then reached for the eyes and tried to dig his fingers in.

i don't think anyone can argue with that.

agreed

Then the throw the book at him.

Utterly indefensible.

to be fair its a bit close to the bone, not being pedantic.

bit harsh that mate.... they have already thrown the book at him once.... maybe he just needs a good talking to and a 3 game ban.

i tell the mrs she is the cancer on my bank account.... and she doesn't complain about it because she knows its true.

is that wrong?

Having just seen it properly for the first time lets hope the ban is long enough to end his season, as I've said on a few occasions I wouldn't have him anywhere near big games this season. Today was an accident waiting to happen.

If Hock is our replacement for Coley we've got big problems as they are very different types of props. Coley is all about hard work and laying the platform for others, Hock is very much an impact type of player. Fielden will be almost like a replacement for Coley next season thankfully.

He'll be banned and rightly so.

deckchair or hock

The Sad part of this from Hock and Wigans point of view is he had a cracking game against a top side. It's the first good game he's had against a big side since his return and he gave a glimpse of what he could bring long term.

Short term he's let his frustration get the better of him unlike his teamates who will save their frustrations for the next meeting against Wire. That's what good professionals do but unfortunately that's something Hock has never been.

Both with a bit of luck.

sorry and you are?

Do you not have a caps lock or shift key? What about punctuation?
Truly awful troll.

You think morley was good today?

Nice sig picking sentences out and cutting them what a wopper

Stupid thing to do but the way opposition fans on other forums are blaming Maguire for this is laughable



Rugby League has a lot of thick fans...

do you?

you not have flag to wave?

Me man! My grammar terrible!

I think you meant:
Do you not have a flag to wave?

I'm at home, precisely why would I be waving a flag?

You're not even a funny troll, and your spelling and grammar is a little embarrassing, keep trying though
