This.

Hock started something that didn't need to be and then it just turned silly. Thank god Magennis will be out for a few games, get Dixon back in the team!

Re: Hock : Sun May 27, 2012 7:27 pm  

Are the Pies not a tad worried about his complete lack of discipline? It would be a massive risk to play him in a final. Grand Final against Warrington, would you pick him? As a person he's shown time and time again that he's scum like Newton, scum with no self control on or off the pitch. A massive liability for Wigan. I just don't understand why he did it? There was no previous incidents building up to it, just a moment of utter stupidity from him. In the same week he was given a written warning about his conduct you have to think a decent ban will be coming his way for that.

Personally I thought that Wilkin had a more than niggly game. Hock, just retaliated to the little tup.

If I were a Saint's fan I would be rather thankful that Hock didn't play the full game.

Exactly, Magennis was as cowardly as you can get.

If just Hock and Magennis were sent off then fair enough. However there is no way Tuson should have been sent off for retaliation, particularly after such a cheap shot, if McCarthy-Scarsbrook stays on the pitch.

Re: Hock : Sun May 27, 2012 7:33 pm  

Hock isn't a cheap shot merchant, fights happen all the time in RL.
He wasn't the only one throwing punches and fighting in a game of rugby does not make you scum.
He is an absolutely fantastic player and this season he has been one of our best players (in my opinion), I would pick Hock at any opportunity possible as I believe it is more of a risk to NOT pick him, knowing what he can do to a side.

Not at all, he doesn't actually have that bad discipline. He's been demonised by Sky and it would seem that Saint's fans are particularly good at lapping up the drivel, maybe because it's been rather complementary towards Saint's over the years.

To say that you don't understand why, just shows that you either didn't watch the same game that I did or you are partially sighted.

Re: Hock : Sun May 27, 2012 7:43 pm  

Hock really is the Joey Barton of RL. The sooner he's out the game the better.

A total embarrassment and not even that great a player.

A bit like the Warrington player whose eyes Hock gouged, shortly after returning from a two year drug ban?

Re: Hock : Sun May 27, 2012 7:55 pm  

The ref got the decisions for the red cards right but Mossop should have had some form of card as he was the player who downed the Saints player. The retaliator always gets punished and Tuson gave far more than he got.
