Says in the sun were favourites to sign him

Chris Chester has said he wont be signing for Rovers.

So, one of them is fibbing.

Didn't he say as far as he was concerned josh Hodgson hadn't signed for cranbera the but next day was announced he had. He obviously new when he said that so shows he can be economical with the truth.

well if Hock does sign it also makes a mockery of this team ethic Chester has been talking about, Hock is a good player most will agree, but constantly hitting the self destruct button and letting his team mates down, exactly the player we don't need.

Not happening so I'm told ......

I bloody hope you are right please no, unless he has taking up religious studies and go's to church every week I don't think so

Whatever the outcome it has to be the coaches call and the coaches call only...

Players like Hock (or Carney) do not become available to Rovers every week so it needs some serious consideration.

If Chester believes he can handle and channel Hocks temperament then you have to back him , and its yes please from me if this is so...

All the best Rovers teams , indeed many of the best Rugby League teams , have had a nutcase or two, the best Rovers team of all time was full of em...

Thought you had to be one to follow Rovers.

The second line of your post is so pertinent it deserves to be heard on it's own;

Players like Hock (or Carney) do not become available to Rovers every week so it needs some serious consideration.

Make no mistake these are players of a quality much higher than what we currently have or can expect to have so it does indeed at least merit serious consideration.

If I was Chris Chester I'd be very interested. Good coaches all have one thing in common - they all have good players.

There has been no approach from HKR or any other club for Hock.

Will be confirmed midweek no doubt!!!

No need to wine about it.

Don't usually bother with rumours but got told from someone who is usually correct that we are trying hard to get him. Hope he is wrong this time.

He's exactly what we need IMO but very risky with his disciplinary problems and i assume we will be offering big money otherwise he why leave Salford? Risk written all over it but it's one of those we need to take if we are to progress

One of the best forwards in world rugby on his day.

When was the last time anyone saw hock have an outstanding game? He's been largely rubbish whenever i've seen him since he left wigan. Shows the odd glimpse of what he is capable of but far too inconsistently and the baggage he brings isn't worth what you're getting on the field IMO. carney definitely worth the risk but hock not

Hudgells q&as would be shown as a massive farce if we then signed Hock, as a person hes everything Hudge hss said we're trying to rid the team of.

I've mulled it over and agree with you.

Suprised you have any players left after Mad Monday , certainly do not think Chester will want Hock after that

When he came back from his drugs ban he worked incredibly hard at Wigan and had a great season under Wane in 2012. Then something happened internally (there are various rumours but the truth hasn't really come out) and Wigan lost patience with him and shipped him to Widnes.

He played well in a very poor team. Going to Salford was clearly a mistake. But he's also done well this season. Not just on his day, but over the course of the season he's easily the best second rower in Super League. He runs incredibly hard, is difficult to put down, has a step and offloads more than anyone in the league.

Against that he misses 3 to 6 games a season through suspension. He gives penalties away more than most (or so it seems - I'd be glad to be proved wrong on this though).

So you have to decide - Is he worth it?

If I was Hull KR I'd snap him up. Surely as fans you want to see great players. And he is a great player.

no, he isn't

Very erudite. And well argued sir.

On 2014 form, Elliot Whitehead would get my vote.

If he's that good and worth putting up with his misdemeanours then why won;t wigan have him back? I fully agree with you though, hull kr should sign him
