There's a big difference between not getting positive press and some of the personal abuse he has taken on here in the past.

As a saints fan would I have him in the team? without a doubt!

So can you confirm that he hasn't been turning up for his rehab following his op and Wigan are not impressed with that?

Re: Hock : Tue Jan 15, 2013 2:15 pm  

Hock would be a loss to the Pies no doubt. He goes missing in some of the more important games but he gives them that bit of aggression a team needs occasionally. Unfortunately what he gives is usually balanced with penalties and knock ons. A good coach could sort him out.

Seen him in his car at the wilmere lane cross roads near Widnes. However i never saw whether he went straight on to Warrington, turned right to widnes or left to st Helens.

If true, I hope that you are duly barred from Langtree Park (and surrounding areas) for being friends with it (and not being too ashamed to admit it)

Joking aside, I seriously dont think we need Hock in our team. Would be a big chunk of cap on a player to play the same position as Manu, Soliola, Puletua, Wilkin & Flanagan who are all capable of performingthere. Hock hits a good line, but so do Manu, Sia and TP, He has a good offload but so does Manu, Sia, TP, and Wilkin, and he makes less tackles than Wilkin, Flanagan and cant hit like Sia can either. Waste of money if we were to sign him (and generally a waste of space and air)

Whilst you might not want him at our club, he's been a real thorn in our side in the derby matches. He's one of the main reasons that wigan can gear up for the derby better than us.
If he leaves Wigan, it'll be good for Saints for the most important 2 fixtures of the year.

"They have been alerted to his apparent unrest at the Warriors and it’s understood chairman Ian Lenagan could be prepared to part with the England forward if the price is right."

Won't be us then, thankfully If a chunky fee is involved then it narrows the field down rather considerably. I'd put money on Hull if he's off anywhere myself - he'd be a good fit for them.

They've just signed Ellis though. I'd imagine he wouldn't come cheap.
