Yep, according to Wiki a few year back Wigan had signed Ruben Wiki, pardon the pun.

Wished we had of done though, he was a great leader and just what we needed at the time.

I tend to say if its on Wikipedia as a rumour is probably not true it said we were signing sinfield a couple weeks back ha

Not heard any thing about Hock leaving, probably just pub talk.

I think we have all heard that. along with a million and one reasons why the club would be pushing for it, but at the end of the day i think it all comes back to Chinese whispers. someone reads it on here, tells mates, mates come up with a reason why, tells someone else, someone else hears it and takes it as true.

It was reported in Wigan Observor either last week or week before that Paramatta have said he will be with them in 2014.

If Hock is to leave for 2014 it gives us time to plan for it, it would have been very difficult to replace him or have a reasonable plan of action if he had gone in this off season so suddenly.

That was a major annoyance of him suddenly seeming to want to go. If it'd come about earlier in the season we could've potentially put a top offer in for Ellis.

I know we put an offer in, no idea of the size of it, either way with Hock off the books we could've offered more. Unless we were offering over the odds anyway.

Do we need a bit more zip out wide? This lad might be new to rugby but at 10.13 for the 100 he can shift. Let's offer him a house in Euxton and an incentivised deal http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/rugbyu ... lanet.html
