Hock's agent in trying to up his price shocker.

That`s right. The deal has been agreed "in principle". Where you are going to live etc is part of the "detail" that has to be sorted.

Gutted & really disappointed with him if this is true

So Hock finding a house that he likes is a requirement of the deal?

Sorry to sound skeptical, but I'd have thought he'd wait until the deal was actually signed before he went all the way to Aus to start house-hunting.

Don't be sorry - it's the biggest load of rubbish on this board for a while (Wire trolls excluded....)

Mate - If Gaz Hock has told you that he is going to Australia, you'd better go and scour the streets of SALTZBURG in a few days, for a rather confused looking young man wearing shorts and wondering why it's bloody freezing.

We still hold his paper work till is contract is officially up

And we'll still be holding his contract next season.

This rumour is, as others have said, a genuine pile of tripe.

Yeh I spoke to Gaz 'Ock this morning and he told me he's got at 10 year deal lined up to play for South Sydney, then Russell Crowe's going to get him into Hollywood to be the next Vinny Jones.

load of bollox

why would i waste my time after a hard days graft to imform people of what ive heard today from the guy it involves beleive what you want to beleive but i know what i heard

Any rumours about Hock, particularly those from the man himself, are to be taken with a kilo of salt

Sorry, but your very sign-on name causes me to doubt you.

PS: Not saying you didn't hear what you claim you heard - you're right, why someone would lie about something so pointless bamboozles me! - but Gaz Hock is still not going to Penrith.

And before you charge back and quote again your first-hand experience, do you think nobody else who posts on here has access to Gaz and his cronies?

yeah i agree with the sign on name haha



i dont want to get into some big debate but i know what i heard and ill stick by that



ps your sign on name aint much different

He has signed for St Judes.

I'd perhaps be more inclined to believe you if you seemed less happy about this 'news' you are imparting.

I hope it is just salt

Best news of the season if true, here's hoping

I don't think you'll get away with that one.

Would Australia grant a visa to a person with a history of drugs?

he's not been convicted in a court of law for possession as far i know, so i'm assuming that that shouldn't be a problem

I would be upset if he went, top player regardless of the drug taking.

Is this before of after Hansen goes to Salford?


Nothing more than a case of some wind up merchant trying to stir something up so that it ends in next weeks Wigan Observer and sitting back laughing at how people fell for it. The keyboard equivalent of someone dialing 999 with a hoax call then wacking one off when a big shiny fire engine comes round the corner with its lights flashing

I can assure you that I am NOT a "wind up merchant"!

The source of my information is genuine. I really don`t care whether you believe me or not!

Good. Because I don't think anyone does.
