unfortunately true, has been sacked and has gone AWOL.

didnt show up for training after his surgery, announcement to be made soon.

if he has been sacked,, that makes it a whole lot easier for other clubs to sign him for nothing,,sacked or not,,,wont wigan still have to pay him something to? im not up on this never been sacked from anywhere lol..

Yes unfortunatley this does seem not to be just hearsay, "BIG LOSS" we need cover and we need it fast, I think were unlikley to get a high profile Aussie in so maybe we should be looking at the older generation of aussies who could cover and bring some great experience to the team, Menzies is an option, Nathan Hindmarsh retiered last year maybe we could bring him back for one last shindig, not exactly a practical possiblitily though, tony williams would be a nice addition or even or even Mannering now hes a player who could help out!

Here we go again

i thought a hock rumour not being on for a month was way to long.

If he's gone it's probably far too late to do much about it. If he does go then no doubt Gelling will be getting a run in the 2nd row, he probably has the most potential to be a "like for like" replacement that we have.

Been hoping this wouldnt come to be true but heard something in august about hock off the same person who told me about gleason in the november before he went, was told micky mc and tuson where involved as well so was hoping was/is still rumours.

It's all Chinese whispers at the moment. If I hear another person reffered to as a 'good source' I'm going to punch someone in the head. But, that being said, there is something going on. Lots of smoke, may mean fire?

Nothing official will come out until they have to, but I know press days have started, which means club photo's etc. Can't be far from a result either way.

Too good of a player to throw it all away, yet so was Gleeson... three times!

announcement/update in the wigan evening post tomorrow tweeted by phil wilkinson

I’ve heard from my mums brothers bests mates girlfriends aunties cat that allegedly he has been caught doing something he was banned for not too long ago... if you get what I mean...

The report in the WEP isn't exactly conclusive evidence either so we are all still in the dark.....as usual

What was reported?

Basically what we already know minus the Chinese whispers.

I think "Shaun Wane declined to comment" speaks volumes. If there was nothing in the rumours then why not just say so?

Because he learnt his lesson from speaking to the press without good reason last year.

A friend of mine saw him in the gym at total fitness maras bridge with Mark Bitcot last week.

his arm was all slinged up 3 week ago..

all this rubbish is about him getting the injury before the internationals and not telling the club so he could play for england.

would all link in why gelling is training with the pack.

Hull tend to sign these sort of players and have the money.
Warrington or Widnes maybe?

Wire are up to cap, and have Currie and Laithwaite to fit into the pack this year. Not impossible, but highly improbable.

It's got to be Salford with their new owner "cashed up"

The dream team, Long, Gleeson and Hock.
Remember where you heard it first

But Hock has to go through Hull's books first. That's how it works.

That's what I heard as well. And as usual, chinese whispers has taken over.

Would not want him at wire not good enough just a liability
