I've said before, I'd 100% take him. He's big, strong, physical and has a presence about him.

Amor
Roby
Walmsley
Vea
Hock
Wilkin/Thompson/?

That's a pretty strong big pack

Amor Roby Walmsley

Hohaia Vea Masoe Thompson/Richards/Beaumont ( )

Hock to be given the sole job of ensuring "grumpy lms" every week

Easily done we actually have 2 players, backslap lms and grumpy lms, one you really want to forget!

Anyway, your the man in the know, come on, anything in this?

Bizarre thing to leave one club without having a place to go to

Very strange - but if their board is to be believed happy times are a long way away from Salford at the moment!

im reliably informed players not happy for being flogged at training & doing sprints round a field over and over again and being treated like kids, Locke likes a beer or 19.

No, i'm not saying they are leaving but Rangi is definitely p*ssed off with the way things are going (this 'flogging' in training which keeps getting mentioned - exactly the same reason why Hock wants out) which is where the "he's leaving" rumours have come from. I thought it was evident in his body language after the Widnes game too. Locke has come over and so far treated it as a holiday rather than a job, as the poster above mentioned he's enjoying himself a little too much - that weight he came over with hasn't shifted much either has it? He also has a few personal issues I believe back home I understand with his ex-partner who is also the mother to his son.

One thing is for sure it isn't a happy camp at the moment.

I'll ask Thursday night

He's the most naturally gifted forward I've seen tbh but his baggage outweighs his talent and teams lack of success with him in it would be a worry for me if I were a Saints fan. He has never won a major trophy in his career for one reason or another.

In saying all that he's possibly worth the risk for Saints because you lack aggression and a nasty streak. You wouldn't be as easy to bully with Hock and Burns in your team.

Appreciated as always

As another point - what kind of transfer fee would be actually acceptable? given it's pretty split at just the thought of taking him!

Re: Anybody no if hock is coming to you ? : Wed Sep 17, 2014 4:26 pm  

Maybe with a signing like Burns, McManus is quickly realising that 'nice' doesn't win you trophies.
