O/T Hock! : Thu May 10, 2018 10:45 pm  

In tonight game in on t.v Hock seemes to have not changed!
He give about 4 penalties away
Punched a Hull player and got about 2 or 3 players wacking him back!
Im glad Wigan got rid of this thug of a player

Fool of a player, more like. So much talent (at one time, anyway).

It was as sad to see him playing up to the nutter tag as it was entertaining.

I’ve said it for years, he is the biggest waste of natural talent I’ve ever seen in the game. Every bit as naturally gifted (and more in some cases) as some of the greats but with a brain not capable of backing it up.

A handy reminder that some leopards never change their spots.........

And yes, i was happy to give him a second chance, and i don't regret that, but the guy is a barmpot..

He fell for Jake Shorrocks' (sp) wind up tactics IMO.

I presume you mean Jake Connor?
Connor certainly kept well away from Hock in the 2nd half. It all started bout 10 minutes from half time when Connor gave Hock a facial.
That game was a throwback to the 70's and 80's.

For totally different reasons I still think as much of a talent Hock was the loss of Simon Haughton from Rugby League takes some beating as a waste of talent. Granted he didn't blow it (pardon the pun) like Hock as he walked away, but Simon could have been a great of the game.

Was he so good? I only saw his last two years at Wigan, didn't realise he was anywhere near that bracket

He had a couple of seasons before he got bored of the training (I was told training I dont know for fact). even scared the Ozzies to death in a test series if i remember right
