If the rumour about him going are true then its much bigger than just a habit there is more i believe. We had the rumour about supposed injury before the Cats play off game and the fight with Fielden apparently. Hope he stays but seems from all the rumours he will go.
I find all the rumours about him falling back into his previous bad ways that got him banned very hard to believe. If he had done so the club could not deal with it by offering him up for transfer in the knowledge he had made that very same mistake twice. Hock will also be one of the most tested players in the competition due to his past record and of course he is playing for England again which exposes him to further testing. So if he had been naughty again he'd be banned already and there is no way the club would or could protect him from this and then ship him out.
If the club has instigated a move as suggested in another post I reckon it must be for other reasons.
If Hock has instigated it due to the idea he needs to leave his past behind then as I alluded to in my previous post he is kidding himself if he thinks that will fix it and it would be a pretty poor way to return the investment and faith shown in him by Wigan and a lot of the fans who wanted him to be given a second chance here.
There is a third more mundane option - he just wants to go for more money!
And of course it could all just be pure rumour with nothing in it. I guess we will find out soon if Phil Wilkinson can get it out of him.
