Completley disagree with this.



Under a good coach Hock would be a much improved player. He is having to do far too much work in the current Wigan team surrounded by a very poor pack of forwards.



If Hock and Locky were shown the door tomorrow i know which player would be joining one of the top clubs and it wouldnt be Locky.



I think Locky is a very good defender but to say that he is a greater talent than Hock is a strech.

Perhaps I was OTT saying I would get shut given the current situation, it was intended more as a if i had a clean slate rather than placing it into the context of the current team and its failings.



I think Hock could be more than adequatley replaced with a strike second row from the NRL without having to throw too much cash at one, he is an eye catching player but many of his plays hurt us.

You'd get rid of a homegrown Wiganer who gives 110% every game, is 1 f the 2 players that give us go forward for some aussie?





I agree 100% with what PA has posted and think if we didn't rely on him so heavily then we wouldn't see half the mistakes we do from him

As i said it was more from a clean slate point of view, ie if we were putting together a squad from scratch, Locky would be a player who i would select over Hock.

I get what your saying jonh, but I would still keep both of them.



If we did have a clean slate and had better options 2nd row than Bailey/Hansen then I'm sure Hock would be a perfect Bench player.

Unfortunatley at the moment we need Hock (And O'Loughlin) out on that field as much as possible.

Oh I understand, would keep them both though.
