This. I know it's a free world, but why would anyone at all want to follow Gareth Hock on Twitter? I agree with Yed 100%.

Why should people have to do that though, why should he have to lower his enjoyment of social media because of a few b'ends?

I loathe those that provoke people to react and then cry to the authorites when they do.

Like Stan Collymore?

Twitter.... look but don't touch.

Doesn't have to be public though does he? And considering his track record and his inability to engage brain before tweeting you would think he would err on the side of caution.

Players are warned about using social media but seemingly Mr Hock has not heeded any of the said warnings.

...his boss is Doc Mar!!

You can't educate pork.

I don't think Doc Mar eats pork?

He's been banned for 6 games apparently. Doesn't register any more with me, he gets banned that much during a season. 1 game, 2 games, 3 games, 6 games, 8 games, it doesn't matter.....the guy is quite simply a liability and any lingering skill he had as a RL player has been lost due to him being a thuggish scumbag. Worst thing is he'll still be getting paid for sitting on his Iestyn at home whilst others have to step up in his absence.

I actually feel a bit for Iestyn.

More fool you then.

Anyone catch the Ryan O'Hara stuff......W O W

Yep he really doesn't like Harris

Yes, I saw that, obviously a history there. Going back to Hock, he's al;ways been a tremendous talent, but like one or two others before him, he's got a self destruct button, and when the going gets tough Gareth always seems to do the wrong thing.

Good to see Hock's misdemeanours reported on the main BBC 1 o'clock news today. I think the previous mention of RL as a news item on national news was 30 seconds when Saints won at Old Trafford.

These are just shocking stats, the guy is simply not worth it and can't even back it up in performances anymore.

There comes a time when the RFL should say ... that's enough you've had your chances you cannot play again. Otherwise it is likely to end in one shocking act. He just doesn't care ... it's as if he wants to be banned.
He should be banned for ever now.

If anyone should be telling him to do one, it's Salford.

Judging from Koukash's comments earlier on, we have!

He could be the missing piece of Wigan's jig saw.

That fool contradicts himself daily so I would take anything he says with a pinch of salt

Would the good doctor be better paying off Hocks contract, cutting his losses and getting rid?

In a word, yes!

Hock only played 14 of 27 SL games last season.

He's banned now until Round 9.

When his ban finally ends he'd of missed 20 out of a possible 36 SL games. [size=50(if my maths is correct)[/size

For someone who is probably one of the top earners at the club that return is just not good enough!

Probably the same return Wigan get out of O'Loughlin (different reasons obviously).
