Don't worry about Aston's red card, it was a spear tackle alright and, off the ball!
Its getting tedious now to see the tactics these thick Yorkshire Coaches are employing against us, roughening us up won't win you games against us! I detest Mark Aston he was a nuisance as a player and irritating as a Coach! Those in the North Stand will not have seen that nutter Tulapapa maurading around the Leigh dugout trying to pick a fight! he put his head to Jukes's head and 'chased' Jukes around the Dugout! I could not believe what I was watching! thank goodness Hock didn't get up and smack him although, something inside me was willing him to do it! Tulapapa is a crackpot!
This rough house stuff is just going on and on the RFL have got to put a stop to it!
From my seat in the west stand the 'hit' on McNally looked a straight red? it definitely would have been had Gareth Hock made the 'Hit' !!

All this going on and the dirty play during the game yet it's us who they say are thugs and a dirty team, unbelievable.

For me Gareth had another very good game yesterday ,his offloads can destroy teams ,I've said before in Hock and Sam Barlow we now have 2 class off loaders ,teams are still targeting Gaz and trying to wind him up , Aston is the wind up master,I hope Hock can show the TV viewers next week what a class player he still is , the Wolves talk about Ben Westwood,but I think Hock playing to his real ability is just as good, for me our Pack can match the Wolves pack , hopefully a great game , and Leigh with 20 is a tempting bet.

Just watched the Hock/Taluapapa incident on LCTV. How on earth did Hock pick up a yellow!?!?

Taluapapa comes up behind him and shoves him in the back of his head, Gaz spins round and Taluapapa throws 2 punches at him. Hock doesn't react at all... GARETH HOCK didn't react to being punched! For once in his life he shows great restraint and composure and he STILL got 10 minutes for doing sod all!

Awful decision, Gaz has done some stupid things in his career but the last 2 weeks he has been punished massively purely for being called Gareth Hock. He is getting better all the time and has worked hard to lose the extra weight he had when he arrived. Even his discipline has been much better recently.

Keep it up Gaz!

There will come a point - hopefully sooner rather than later - where referees get off Gaz's back. Then he'll be able to play to his full potential.

Yep. Can see clearly twice in 2 weeks Hock gets Sin Binned for being punched & not retaliating. Doesn't take a master tactician to see what every single team are going to do every single game from now on.

Totally agree and we are better at half back and probably 50/50 on ooutside backs so to have +18 now is a certainty!!

Working in Wigan, over the years I've heard lots of Hock stories, but I'm hearing that he's really settling in at Leigh and sorting himself out both on and off the field. http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ ... rs-9523695

Nice to see a positive write up.Long may it continue.

Re: Gareth Hock : Thu Jun 25, 2015 5:21 pm  

The new slimline Hock was there for all to see on Sunday. If he plays well against Wire then we might just see a shock on the cards.
