As long as they don't try to put him the front row, as some clowns suggested when he was coming back from his long layoff.

Hocks danger is his speedy footwork, breaking tackles and offloads. There should be someone on his shoulder throughout. Sean Edwards would have been.

Shaun Edwards would have likley been there too.

Definitely agreed! A big guy that's THAT mobile is wasted at prop. Hopefully Green likes his support play, we could do with it.

Not his strongest suit from what I've seen. 2 tries from 9 last season.

Bit selective there. 13 from 30 overall at HKR.

Better than Brett Finch's 18 tries in his 60 games for Wigan.

My Dad used to work part time at CP, and spoke with legend Brian McTigue, who was his hero.

Apparently, 'Mac' used to say to the backs, "just follow me, you will get some trys" !

What an understatement !

Hock could do this. Nowhere near as a ballplayer or enforcer like Mac.

AFAIK, 'Mac' never got sent off.

Got quite a few 'carried off', but never got sent off.

As an ex-boxer, his fist never travelled more than 6 inches.

In a season practically written off with a freak injury! I am confident in a team like Wigan with the quality of players he'll have around him Green will be a revelation,his support play is excellent, added to which he has a fair bit of pace. Really sorry to see him leave Rovers, but wish him and Taylor all the best for the future, and hope they pick up a bit of silverware in the coming seasons.

Sadly the views of people who've actually seen him play regularly seem to mean very little for some! It's way easier to just say "We used to sign Trent Barrett!" and declare rugby league in this country is dying
