According to the MEN, Hock will not be allowed to play against us on Saturday.

I have to say thank "God for that" !

We should beat them easily though.

That's not news, that's history!
The "no play" deal was part of the loan agreement with Widnes.
Well publised at the time too.

Would love Hock to play, would create a great deal of interest in the game.

Gutted he isn't playing. Would generate so much interest for the game

Old news, Leneghan would be mad to let him play against us, our injury crisis would likely worsen!

It was mentioned when he first signed for Widnes. Heard a rumour if Hock had been allowed to play, then Sam wouldn't...

How nice to know that he 'let' that part be kept in

Or maybe it was a part of the deal in which Wigan (IL) said, "he doesn't play against Wigan in any competition, take it or leave it".
So Widnes took the deal and took Hock as well.
He's a Wigan player and Wigan would have drawn up the deal!

Nevermind we would lose if played or did not to be honest.No big deal i rather beat Warrington than Wigan.

He shouldnt even be allowed in the ground, unless he pays for a ticket.

What planet is Betts on?

He should count himself lucky Wigan are around to service our own club and theirs! Without us they'd be struggling after all the cast offs we've given them over the years.

Even the tea lady only ended up at Widnes after Wigan deemed her brews weren't up to the job.

I like his comment about hindering his development he' only been playing 10 years!!

"More disappointed for Gaz" my . He's disappointed because he doesn't have his best player against a weakened Wigan pack. As if missing two games will have a big impact on Hock's development. Taking cocaine, getting a 2 year drugs ban, refusing to train, and playing for Widnes on the other hand.....

I'd let him play, let him take the first ball up only to be met by mcilorums elbow ala Cassidy style on Morley
On a serious note, in my opinion he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the stadium. I wouldn't have even let him go out on loan he could have rotted at Orrell until his contract expired, not that I have grudge or anything

Bizzare stuff from Dennis Betts, thought he was better than that to be honest.

Be interesting to see if Hock attends the game.

As satisfying as that may be, the subsequent 10 match ban for Mickey would probably hinder our chances to do anything this year, and that's why IL made sure Mr. Hock will not play against us.

Heard from a few people he's going to be carrying the water

Should be interesting

He'll still end up giving away a penalty.

Is there bad blood in the dressing room between Hock and some of our players ?

Or is it Hock versus Wane ?

I think betts has got a point

And to be fair him and Wane have pretty much said the same thing. I.e. It wasn't their choice so not a rugby matter.
