He had higher offers than Widnes mate but chose us because he has numerous friends here and has worked under betts previously. He doesn't strike me as a lad who's driven massively by money. Fair do's to Salford for having a go but I don't think Hock will be at Salford for 2014.

Don't get me wrong mate, he might not but its just what I heard.

No worries, glad you have a backer now, exciting times for Salford (extra bonus Simms is gone!)

Yeah that's one of the highlights mate, Simms was a leach who was bad for the game as a whole. We're so lucky to get a new backer especially a very wealthy one. It's good for the game as a whole too.

Not officially I believe he's agreed terms for next year just in nagotiations with Wigan over a transfer fee. I understand we tried to tempt him on loan this year but as Dr Koukash only took over the club on Thursday this week he didn't want the uncertainty of waiting to see if we survived.

Yet within a week Hock was happy to commit to 3 years? I think the story on his future post 2013 has a long way to go tbh.

Is he named in the 17 for today?

Re: Gareth Hock : Sun Feb 10, 2013 11:26 pm  

Did he play? If so, how did he do?

Re: Gareth Hock : Mon Feb 11, 2013 2:11 pm  

Pretty decent without being a really special performance. That's to come... I thought he put in a good shift though with some grit and determination - a bit of a buzz when he had the ball trying a few inventive offloads. Some 'boo' boys in the Saints end when he had the ball but not too many.

Needs to settle down with maybe Isa /Dean Phelps and we'll have a good powerful left side attack

When Ah Van is back I can see plenty of tries coming down the left hand side. Isa just isn't cutting it for me.
