True, but he won't be playing them on his own!

We know that, he'll have coley, mossop etc with him obviously.

Do you think you will risk gaz hock in such a big game? He looked a little off the pace against Warrington.

No. After yesterday I don't think we'll see Hock near a big game again this season. Looked well off the pace and I can see him being used in the Salford/Crusaders games etc to give members of the pack a rest between the big games coming up.

I hope not.

He was the only change from the 17 against yourselves in June, and I don't know if he picked up a knock, but he wasn't at the races.

I'd imagine it'd be Farrell v Hock for the 17th place, with no other changes subject to injury/Lima's Tuesday night trip to Leeds...

It should be at The HJ, no point in dragging everyone over to Yorkshire.

Its a pity they didnt give vouchers out at the game today for priority for the semi. It was a pityful turnout for a cup quarter final. Having said that HKR brought nowhere near 2000.

There you go.

Ah, thats good news. I would hate to see the place going unused on challenge cup weekends

In all seriousness though, whilst the HJ is probably a bit under capacity for a game of this size i would much rather the revenue going to a rl club than stage these matches at football only stadiums regardless of whether we could get more people in. I would be very surprised if the wigan v saints match isn't held there.

How do you know?

I don't.

But if it's at Huddersfield we should complain. Effing stupid. Might as well play it in Barcelona.

Bolton is a far more appropriate location, or Goodison or even Anfield if they want to show some ambition.

Give me a logical reason why Saints should get the same number of tickets for this game as Wigan.

Because there are two teams in the game playing at a neutral venue. Ticket allocation should be split in half (once all corporate and RFL allocation is removed) and if one side fails to sell their allocation the remaining tickets go back to the RFL to sell as neutral tickets (and they can be held accountable for any resulting issues that may occur by selling ticket to say Saint's end to a Wigan fan). You can't just give one team the immediate advantage of having a larger crowd based on the possibility that the other side might not be able to sell their allocation because their league attendances have been less all season in a different competition! If that were the case, so it lets just play at the DW and give you a head start based on you having a better points difference!?

Hock is bound to be of the pace when he has had no speed for the last 2 years.
