Hock or Wigan as a club?

Why discriminate?

Regardless of the ban imposed, he has now been convicted of one of the most cowardly acts possible n a rugby field, That will stay with him for the rest of his life, as will his conviction for being a crack head. Hardly anything to be proud of. Am sure his kids will be very proud of him in years to come, if they know who he is.

In the last 3 yrs he has had a 5 game ban for manhandling the ref, a 2 year ban for drugs, and now a 4 game ban for gouging.

Somebody at Wigan seriously needs to get hold of him and calm him down otherwise he is going to throw his career away for good if he doesn't improve.

TBF re: the manhandling of the ref. He may well just have been a bit wired at the time.

Well I can't see that happening, he had the ape go with him and vouch for him. He could pull a shotgun out mid match and shoot someone and Hal of cherry and White stick up for him with there Wigan 'victim' complex

Gareth Hock was disgusting. It's bad enough that he looks as ugly as he does but to attempt an eye gouge and then an upper cut just shows what a thug he is. I thought Silverwood was wise not to discipline him on the field as there was very little time left. That means the RFL SHOULD ban him.

They should ban Ratboy too for the kick on the touchline. He tried to weasle out of it by saying he was defending the line but I can't see how that can be used as a defence as players are taught from the outset not to do that due to the risk of injury.

I think Wigan were shown up today to be the dirty team most fans have seen all season.

Classic SaintsFan. Bookmarked.

He definitely stepped over the line then.

For me Hock's problem is his fitness, he is nowhere near what he was and this will take time, he was frustrated, they were getting hammered blah blah. I think the ban is just right, he misses the GF if they get there, he will miss out on England selection, surely this is enough. I am not saying gouging is right I am just saying why I think Hock did what he did and I think the punishment is spot on. Do we want blood? don't answer that

I agree, he's had massive problems getting his fitness back which I
Pretty shocked as all the pies was saying he'd been training the house down for two years which is clear he ain't.

His lack of fitness was getting him frustrated and his head just went.

IMO he should have got a 6 match ban for the gouge and 1 match for the punch.

I guess it depends on how he's been training. He has certainly bulked up but maybe too much.
