hock had operation out until easter so the rumour goes.

Anything with Gareth Hock is a 'Believe it when i see it' scenario, such as the amount of rumours surrounding him this off season.

Gaz had an operation last thursday on is shoulder will be out for 3mths.

Pity it wasn't on his brain.

Gareth + brain would be a fantastic asset for Wigan RL.

Won't be missed, probably end up playing better without him

An operation on the Hocks brain would require him having a brain.

You've never made any good comments about him over the years!
Is it a personal thing by any chance?

Gareth Hock ate my hamster

Bad news if its true. Best forward in the league for me and can't understand baked beans comments above?

That he thinks PAV should be a target tells you all you need to know

The trouble with Gareth Hock is that every other Superleague player knows he has a short fuse and is so easy to wind up either by sledging or little niggles in the tackle, its easy for the opposition to milk a penalty from him if not get him sin binned or even sent off. On his day he can be thebest forward in the country but he is no good sat in the stands.
Perhaps that's why he wants a fresh start in Aus where he will be a small fish in a big pond.

PAV should deffo be a target........ For blackbrook!

If he changed his name to Gareth Charnock, he may be better thought of.

BBB you dont half talk some piffle sometimes,, enough said

The famous short fuse seems to have lengthened somewhat.
The myth continues but on the whole he didn't take the bait much last year.

His biggest problem for me this year will be the perception that he isn't fully committed to the club. A few quiet games and people will be on his back.

Would explain the Gelling to 2nd row move.

I think you need to lay off Hocky he was probably our best player last year, he did have the chance to leave us however he's decided to stick around so cut the man some slack, it's about time we forgot about his past failings and get behind what he brings to our team because without him we would be an average team!

Did he?

Great player on his day and when his head is right , but is also a big liability..can win games but can also lose games

exactly, some on here need to stop putting him on such a high pedastle

and you need to stop your personal hate towards him BBB its quite distubring that someone can hate someone so much,Hmmmmmmmm,,

what games as he lost us,,i think micky lost us more than hocky,,,i mite be wrong,,, dunno
