Oh yeah, and Sams going Celtic along with Pat going to Leigh.

Don't forget Fielden's going to Saints for £500,000!

I heard it was £400,000 with Long coming our way

Oh and there's a flying pig!

i.m.o hock can become a very good player. he has natural ability,power and agression(sometimes too much) his disipline and the occassional bad passing decisions needs tightening up too but if i was noble he would certainly not be in my mind to offload!

Hock is a game-winner or game-loser, depending on what he is thinking on the night.

Dont worry boys he want be going to the Giants.

Can become?! One of the best 3 back rowers in the league!

I totally agree, there is much more to come from the guy, under the right type of coach!

Hock is physically the best British backrower around by miles IMO. He runs hard and is very aggressive. I'd have him at Leeds in a shot. However, he does seem to lose the ball too much and from what i gather gives away silly penalties. Real shame if those sorts of problems hold him back from being a real star.

Riddell cannot run that fast

Hock to Hudds was an option at the end of last season and talks were held, obviously the move never materialised and i think that is that.

The new rumour i bet is just an echo from tht time.

hock is the enforcer prop we need (if he adds a bit of bulk)

Why the hell would Wigan sell one of their best players? Even noble rates Hock.

He's a Wigan lad to boot.

Whatever next? Lockers to Hull on a free? I think some people just make this stuff up.

The Huddersfield talks in the off season were not related to his on field performance, it was more off field issues that meant Wigan would consider allowing him to leave, it seems those issues got resolved and Hock turned down the chance to move.

That does make more sense. I would like to see Wigan work with players more to resolve issues. At times they are right to boot out the 'di$kheads' but think of the players we've lost due to an issue of some kind.

yes can become. he is still too inconsistent to be called one of the best three 2nd rowers in the league i.m.o

That was the Hock of a few seasons ago. So far this season he has cut out the silly stuff and been a much better player. He has been targetted on many occasions this season especially in the Leeds game, where it looked like he lost the ball of a number of occasions. But I think this was just clever play by the Leeds players

Selling Hock would of been a massive mistake.

Hopefully he'll be here for years to come, as he is a massive asset to us.

By the way, saw him in ASDA the other day - the size of lad - no wonder players bounce of him.

The lost balls an issue but the discipline stuff really doesn't seem a problem anymore tbh.

He isn't giving away silly penalties anymore imo although maybe his penalty giving abilities just masked by how good Fielden/Bailey/Lockers are at giving them away

Who would you say are the top 3?

I remember hearing rumours during the off season.

Glad it's resolved.

Huddersfield have just signed David Fa'alogo and resigned Jamahl Lolesi this week.

It's about time Huddersfield started to improve their youth and academy system.

Don't say that a Huddersfield fan will come on and tell you to learn the facts better because they once brought through Martin Gleeson and then disappear into the night without giving you anymore like they did when i dared to call their youth system



It's pathetic.

They are trying to be fair but it will be slow process they are investing heavily in it but years of neglect will need turning around. They do have 2 gems in Cudjo and Lawrence who would be a credit to any team.
