regardless of who he plays for Hock is one of the most powerful individual forwards in SL and possible RL full stop.
He will still play for England come the end of the season

Quite. The fact that it degenerated into petty insults is what stopped any discussion.

On topic, I would rather we looked at anyone other than Hock. Wigan won't sell him to us, although that might change, but the guy is a grade A idiot, and I wouldnt want him at our club, no matter how good he is.

I'd heard that Leneghan refused permission for him to speak to NRL clubs and that's why he spat his dummy out.

The MD of a company i speak to and deal with regularly whom knows the wigan guru personally said that is exactly what happened !! he had three offers on the table when Lenigan pulled the table cloth out from under him... I would be bitter too if it was me in Hocks place...

agreed Hock is a thick as a whale sandwich but he is still the best back rower in the UK at present IMO and would love him in B&W

If it came down to a straight choice, it would be Danny for me every day. I think he's got a better all-round game than Hock and certainly a better temperament.

FFS I hope we dont go anywhere near Hock the c0ck
