Hock's ability and continual attemps to offload mean that he constantly draws 4-5 tacklers making gaps for those he offloads to. On friday he was playing a high risk game, but then how would Wigan have pulled back the score without doing so? Against Bradford there were not many mistakes.
Didn't Hanley play in a dominant team, like Saints of a couple of years ago who could throw the ball about and make mistakes but still win? Hock playing in a beaten team trying everything he could to pull back some points.
