I am not a fan of Gareth Hock, there, I said it.
However, I also wasn't a fan of Sam Barlow when he was at Halifax, partly because I viewed him as a dirty player, partly because he cut big holes through us & put points on us.
The comparisons are similar, yet Sam made friends with the North Stand quickly & got us on side, with some great play too.
Should Gareth do the same & play with pride & passion in the Leigh shirt & get the fans on side (especially us North Standers) he could go from villain to hero in a short time, as did Sam.
I am able to recognise talent & Gareths talent, if harnessed properly will guarantee us a place in the middle 8.
Bring your A) game Gareth, play clean & hard & you could be one of the many greats at Leigh.
Anyone tell me when he will be available to play ?
