Nut Job or What

Re: Hock : Thu Feb 12, 2015 10:45 pm  

I think Hock is just frustrated that he couldn,t get the opportunity to do a nut job on LMS.

I thought if the ref seen the second knee to the head he should have red carded him?

Pond life. We should bring Keith Mason out of retirement for our return fixture at Langtree (for people that dont know Keith as threatened Hock quite a number of times on twitter and Hock Sh*tes himself).

Hock's a loser.
All the talent int he world, but not an ounce of grit to hold it together. That's why he's plying his trade for a lower club (and one of the main culprits for them underperforming) and making an ass of himself doing it.

You must be a psychologist.

I've watched Hock since he was about 15 or 16 years of age and have never seen him feared of anyone. He and Ryan Bailey took on the all conquering Aussie schools pack at academy level and left them in tears (Mike Gregory was England academy coach at the time)
His problem has always been self control. I watched the game down at my mams and when Masoe took Dobson out you just knew that Hock would go looking for him and he didn't miss. Endless coaches have tried but you'll never change him.

In many ways it's a pity because we all saw in that first twenty minutes what a handful he can be.

I guess he's looking at another three or four match ban from last night and it's quite deserved.

I agree I don't think Hock would be scared of anyone.

I texted Dux last night and said that I expected to see Mose go for Hock early on, I thought that might have been a factor in him starting. I've seen both Mose and LMS make a point of going for Hock and whilst he may not back down, it seems easy to distract him from his effective game.

Given how devastating he could be, giving him a bit of attention to put him off is a no-brainer (just like Gareth).

Hock is a waste of talent. He's such a good player when he wants to be but let's himself down time and time again. He will look back on his career and be very dissapointed in himself.

Has everything to be worldclass except a brain.

He won't though. We've seen from his interviews after the England squad stuff, he always thinks he's hard done to.

I remember reading Ian Leneghan's press release when Hock was loaned to Wigan, essentially ending his Wigan career.
It took a whole page, but basically read, "Gareth Hock is a bell end."

He's a poor man's Willie Mason.
