RED LEAGUE, on the Salford club site, reckons that they have signed him for next season....

That makes about 45players they are definitely going to sign and pay about £4 millions in salaries on gates of 4000.

Some of the Salford fans are living in cloud coucash land.

Gates of 4000???

He says a lot of things...

Though if this move happened I honestly wouldn't be too shocked but last Paramtta statement said Hock's personal issues were being sorted and he was still planning to join them next season.

That's about the gate they would get (including visiting fans!) IF they signed the 45 or so players supposed to be signing for them

Ah I see.........

Lowest gate is under 2,000, so what is wrong with 4,000, or do you just want to nitpick?

Just asking.

I think he mis read your post, as I think he was thinking this season.Not sure what Salfords average this year, as not paid much attention, due to the Kou Kou Clown in charge.

Hock was useless tonight. Been a waste of money.

I wouldn't say a waste of money as he did give us all a buzz when he signed on loan but his dominating display's have been few and far between and he has missed too many matches, which I suppose we all thought that he might. Hopefully he will get back up to speed quickly and put in a good shift at Bradford. He owes us a few good performances before he departs!

Maybe a bit harsh there but we needed him up the middle as our two prop forwards make hardly any yards,

Pretty much. I thought he was anonymous in the 1st half. Need him on a run of games in the side so he can show what he can do. Only seen him in fits and starts.

Having word with match officials has not assisted his appearances, and has probably cost us points.

I was really excited when we signed Hock and thought he'd do a great job for us this season. Now I'm pretty disappointed. He's only shown his best on very rare occasions and missing games has cost us. I just hope he can get stuck in for the rest of the season and give us something to remember him by. Great performances and not poor discipline.

That the average crowd up to but not including Leeds vs Widnes lastnight

Indeed.. in fact hadn't the Salford Circus Reds sent a grovelling apology letter to Paramatta promising not to attempt to sign Hock?

Pretty sure I read Koukash himself named as sending that letter.

Hock hasn't been everything we had hoped for, hope we don't have to pay for ban periods?!!
Mind you, Brown hasn't really shone either. Makes me wonder if it's the effect of players around them though - if they got better balls could they do more with it maybe?

One thing for sure is that if I was Paramatta I would be hoping to see more from Hock this season!

Paramattas last press press release said if Salford want hock they will have to buy out his contract with us. Now tell me why would they release a statement like that if there was anything in it.

I'm surprised certain Salford posters haven't commented on this yet

Admittedly I have missed this, the only thing I could find relating to this was two lines on the scum website by far from reputable Dave Parker. Nothing on the Eels website and seemingly not a lot else on Google in the past week.

Yep, pretty much what I'm getting at. There's no doubt he's an absolute wow of a player but the fact he lives on the edge means he does thing which will see him out of the side more often than he should

Well Salford have parted with the readies for Whitehead so you would never rule anything out. I'm sure its only small change to Dr Koukash and no doubt he feels he will have to back up some of his claims with actual signings. Buying a team is
not an easy thing to do these days with salary caps, but there are plenty of clubs who would welcome a cash injection by way of a decent transfer fee!

I would have thought though that Hock might fancy at least giving the NRL a go before its too late!

I noticed that in the Wire / Wigan game, a player (Westwood?) pushed the ref out of the way to make a tackle - the incident was commented on as being "in order."

Had it been Hock, he'd probably have been given a 10 match ban.
