I think its fairly obvious he'll now be going Salford, devastating on his day but his lack of discipline and ball control at times lets him down. He's had a couple of cracking games for us but the rest mediocre, with the emergence of Adam Lawton and with Danny Tickle on board for 2014 im not that gutted about him going. He does attract defenders though which can be good when looking to bring other players into attack. That side of his game will be missed.

Maybe Lawton could do the same job as Hock but is much younger and more disciplined.Needs abit more aggression though to his game.I am not too bothered Hock going as prefer Tickle and can kick goals too.

Hock > Tickle

Danny Tickle will do all that Hock does and more.He has been brilliant for us and I bet he continues it with you.

I was going to come and start a new thread on here, but this seems like a good place to ask -

How has Hock gone for you this season? We all know he's a player of extremes, but has he been rolling more 6s or 1s for you?

He's hit and miss and a head the ball but a player I'd love to keep. When he's on form he's awesome mate.

Scored four tries today

Just need to use him more, he hasn't got the quality of players around him to read certain moves

You mean the ones stood there thinking "What's he doing?" when he's tieing up 3 defenders and looking for some sort of support run on the inside to offload to?

You'll be better off with Tickle ..... might even cheer Brown up to have him around - he just doesn't look happy these days and it's killing his game.

I've just returned to Cas Vegas from the game today so only seen Hock play a couple of times this season. Although he did get 4 tries today which is outstanding for a forward, I did find him very lazy and he didn't do the hard work that others did. Winterstein did all the donkey work in defence and running the ball out from his own sticks whilst Hock stayed out wide as opposed to making the hard yards.

You may argue that scoring 4 makes up for it but I like to see both. I'd take the hardworking and tryscoring Tickle all day and if you would have had him playing for you today, you would have won as he can put the ball between the sticks

Just an opinion from an unbiased individual.

Possibly one of the most ridiculous statements I have read. How you can compare tickle to hock I do not know. Yes he may have the odd brain fart but putting that aside any team in sl would welcome them into their starting 13
