Again, not the most friendly of tones. And no I'm not the only one who's posted about another side to the story.

How about calling them person A or person B? Change their name to protect their identities.
I don't give a flying who is involved I simply want to know the reason for the fall out and why Wigan are to blame not Hock.

If rumours regarding Hock's circle of friends are true you might not want to be posting something on here that you shouldn't, especially if the person who told you is someone not to annoy.

But surley just by saying you know something but cant say means people will call you on it? Plus if these people are so dangerous why would you even cop to knowing anything as a horses head could be on your pillow!
Its more likley someone playing the big i am trying to sound important but when it come to put up or shut up they hide behind a mystical vale of dangerous people who must not be spoken of!

Is this for real? Do you really not understand the statement made my IL? The issue is why Hock wants to leave, what events happened after the event are true, hence why IL spoke of them.
Now cut out the attitude. If you want to have a discussion then discuss, saying things like 'this gets better by the minute' highlights the derogatory attitude certain posters have towards others.

Are you surprised? You and others like you are trashing the club in an open forum, but refusing to give an explanation.

I don't really care if you know the reason, lets face it you've not exactly been the friendliest of posters, PMing you etc is not something which is going to happen.

Keyboard warrior for calling someone childish? Think you've just proven my point.

We can't have a discussion because every time we try too people come out with "if only you knew the truth" and then refuse to give the truth whilst getting upset that people want said truth.

Tone, attitude, wording, comments. Additionally, you seem to not get the msg that I wouldn't be voicing anymore indepth knowledge on the subject.

Oh right, so you would call someone childish during a discussion? And refuse to answer any question other than to say "I can't/won't say, but i know the truth"?
Well you may well do so, and lets say, for the sake of argument, that you do indeed know the truth. Sadly, the way you are handling this info does not make you look very credible. You should have said your piece, and said no more. Instead you just want the whole world and his wife to believe you without a shred of a suggestion as to what that truth may be.
I hope this is not to aggressive for you...

And you don't seem to get that by playing the big man with comments like 'if only you knew the truth' and 'others will leave because of it' isn't going to have people asking for a reason or story.
I could quite easily post that I know something and refuse to divulge what it is, but how many people are going to believe me without more detail? None is the answer.
As for gettimg upset by my apparent tone, again what do you expect when after every comment you claim that person doesn't know the truth but aren't prepared to state what the truth is. Maybe you should have just said nothing?

To be honest I don't care who on here believes me. Why would I? Under other circumstances I would have dished out the whole story. I'm pretty sure other posters will know what's going on, it's common knowledge amongst the players.

In true conspiracy therory rhetoric, the fantasist tries to take the moral high ground when questioned as we cant handle the truth!

Okay, I'll cut out the attitude and ask you a simple question, which you can answer without compromising anyone.
You assure us that IL is not lying. Therefore, the bits in IL's statement which say that Gareth Hock demanded a mid-contract pay rise, and then demanded a move to Australia at short notice, and then, later, when Wigan provided a potential move to Aus for him, turned it down and said that he would never play for Wigan again - are all true.
Now, in all honesty, do you not think that Wigan RL have better things to do than be messed around like this, by a player who they previously went out on a limb for? Regardless of whether or not a third party is causing problems for Gareth, do Wigan Warriors really need that kind of hassle in their lives?

Just be normal, trying to be the big man? WTF? By saying there's another side to the story which I don't feel comfortable talking about to others?
Ok, lets leave it at that, we are obviously going round in circles.

Thats the second time you have said you don't care who believes you, but constantly take umbrage with anybody who questions your knowledge. If its such common knowledge, post it.

I am being normal. I simply want to know why there'll be an exodus of players from the club.

Hock wanted out due to the unstated reasons, which I too would have wanted to leave over. Hock never wanted to go to Aus or play for any other club, he simply felt he wasn't getting the deserved money, and via his agent (basically his agent) were using the interest from Aus as leverage to gain more money. Hock signed a 'lesser contract' if it wasn't for the drugs ban he would have been on considerably more. He wanted a wage which reflected his ability (one of the best players in the league if not the world).
Regardless of such I have no opinion on his contract negotiations, they happen all the time in sport, and agents do have different tactics to up the salary of the clients.
What my concern is the reason why Hock wanted out.
