I think you'll find Barrie Mac and Terry O'Connor think otherwise. They were actually quite impressed as after the fight he took the ball in for a mauling.
There is a difference between being tough and being foul.
Hock is a foul player, you can be tough without having the need to launch punches all about the place. (although Saints should bear this in mind for future matches) if hock is so willing to use fists when he does not get his way, that should be our first point of attack, niggle him till he lets fly and then just stand back and let his fists and the ref do the rest.
Worth taking a few hits, to get rid and as we saw there is no real need to actually get physical, just don't let him push you about is enough to get his psycho back up.
