My mates cousins mates sisters fella told me hes signed for Wigan St Pats open age for 25Million pound in a record signing for the sport.

wigan fans from st helens?

That fan is the most intelligent person from St Helens and he only has an IQ of 2 though his Father and brother same person has an IQ of 1.

Must be true then!

Oh, we've signed Sam Tomkins and Billy Slater as well.......they'll be the perfect complement to Phil Joseph

.

Hock/Cahill second partnership. Can't wait

Can't wait for the widnes press conference.... Hock "widnes is an exciting place to be and I came here to win silverware and improve my chances of international honors"

Sounds like an echo from the Joey Johns press conference on signing for Wire....

you see the problem is my source is a first team player, who has said the guy has had a bust up with Wane and hasnt been seen at training since, was asked to train over xmas on his own and hasnt bothered.

if its all false its a funny thing to put about.

Perhaps the op, has hindered his training... just a thought.

When did I say they are from St.Helens?

From a nearly reliable source.............

I have heard that Hock has signed up to the BBC and is to do a round the world trip with Charlie Boorman, Michael Palin and Arnold Schwartznegger on tricycles painted red/white and blue.
They are going to film it all and it will be on Warriors TV first.

Remember you heard it here first guys !

But Like everything else, I will beleive it when I see it.

Pah! I'm not watching it unless Karl Pilkington and that midget are in it!

if there was any semblance of truth that he is coming to widnes then i will bare my on billinge lump......

I'll watch it if they take Conroy with them (the thinking woman's crumpet).

They obviously read the messageboards.

Terry O'Connor looks embarrassing in that photo on the link.

There must be some sort of substance in these rumours, whether or not he moves to Salford/Widnes remains to be seen (bit of a downgrade from Paramatta isn't it?).

I am starting to believe that his time with us is limited. Dependant on the reason, it'll be a massive massive loss to Wigan. I am already damn well annoyed at SW's leadership, recruitment and teams he chooses to put out for pre-season friendlies and rumours of a bust up with Hock puts fuel to the fire.

On his day he is one of the best, if not the best, SR in SL. Losing Hock and replacing him with someone like Gelling is for me completely and utterly inexcusable. I am VERY interested to see what the future holds.

im sorry to say i told you so! not rumour, lost his shirt, lost from training, will be playing elsewhere this year.

Johnny Headline is the name, you heard it here first, more breaking stories throughout the year!!

Having seen SW's interviews about how Wigan need to move forward in creating a "community" of local lads who will not want to f-off a la Ashton/Tomkins I find it highly amusing that a Wigan lad who's been at the club for nearly 20 years is seemingly desperate to get away. If all this bull reporting has any grounds.

The only proven ways to stop bleeding this level of talent is to either:
- Give them medals every season (Leeds)
- Play e rugby so no-one really wants them (Leeds)

However my suggestions going forward are:
- Sign only convicted fellons who would not be welcome in Australia
- Threaten the squad/ their family members (may improve performance)
- Lobotomise players upon signing (may reduce McIllorum penalties)

Notice that "barbecues and stuff fot lads" is not on there.

Mebbies.

Martyn Sadler‏@MartynSadler

Wigan have lost Leuluai, Finch, Lima and Carmont. Can they afford to lose Gareth Hock too? And if Wigan don't want him, others should beware

Far be it from me to credit anything Martyn Sadler reports, but the last part of that is that is the most relevant and informed comment made on this thread thus far.

Losing Hock would be nothing short of a disaster imo.

Typical Wigan on the communication front....

There's nothing to communicate? He hasn't signed for anyone. Wigan have gone on record to say that they don't respond to rumours and speculation. If a deal is done, it will be announced in due course. I don't understand why people feel they are owed a complete in and out of the clubs daily dealings, when it has nothing to do with them.
