Prescott Lima McIlorum Hock

Prescott seems to have had a few fitness tests lately so I wouldn't be surprised to see him take a rest but if not I'd bring Hock in for Tuson.

Can't wait to see the guy back.

Certainly doesn't look as big as some have described him.

If Farrel is indeed struggling with a leg injury. Then it's a no brainer for me, Hock must play. Why risk Liam and potentially cause further harm to his leg injury, when we have a fully fit replacement waiting in the wings in Gareth Hock.

Dont forget those shirts are also designed to make you look bigger and more ferocious, which makes me come to the conclusion that he is as skinny as James Child.

Be interesting to see how his game speed is.

Sure Hudds will target him.

I am sure Gaz will target Hudds too

Still, I won't be arguing with him!

Is Keith Mason playing?

I thought that. It's hard to tell on that picture but he looks as though he's lost abit of bulk if anything. That's no real problem as he'll build that back up in no time.

Regardless of size Hocks always had a freakish strength about him and he won't have lost that.

Welcome back Gaz!

I hope he comes on and smashes Keith Mason to the floor then submit him with a triangle choke hold! With Mason out if the way he can go on win us the match with a ground breaking play that see's him pull off an offloading 'flick' pass that cuts out 3 players for Richards to slide in! Too much?


Maybe a solid sub appearance, running hard and tackle strong with no brainfarts would be fine. Good to have him back though!

Nevermind Mason.

Griffin is the one we need to watch for. He is having a cracking season and likes a man to man square up. Unlike Keith "rabbit punch" Mason.

Griffin was the one involved in the punch up with Harrison Hansen. I'd say H won that one on points. Mason got involved in that incident of course, running in and taking out Hansen and then picking a fight with Leuluai. The hard man of rugby league is Keith Mason

He's always up for a fight as long as his chosen opponent is much smaller or he has some team mates to hide behind.

Looks like Noble walks in the background @ 1:30

Whether he plays or only comes out for the warm up... lets give Hock our full support as he comes onto the field.

I was flipping annoyed with him and frustrated when he got his ban but he has served his time and he is now a member of the squad like all the others. He is wearing the badge and the cherry and white (well more pink than cherry).

Lets welcome him back like the prodigal son



Chuffed to have you back Gaz!

he had no problem with a bigger guy when he bust peacocks eye socket

When he stands up you can clearly see he is a lot bigger than before.

Before his ban his weight was always given as around 92kg which is roughly the same as Carmont. Hock always seemed to be fairly skinny and was never that big for a forward. He seems to have bulked up a lot looking at him in that video.

He looks quite big in that video

He'll be on the bench ..nailed on

Looks big enough to me.

Though what this photo really looks like is very, very bad news for the rest of RL.
