I don't see any reason why Premier and the RFL can't approach Sky to see if they can sort out a deal to show one Champ game a week, on a Sunday afternoon, exactly the same way they are showing the Leigh v Toronto game.
Would Sky really care that much? I doubt it.

Of course he would - I'd much rather have him than Ashurst, Horo, Kirmond, Batchelor....

Spot on summary
Hock's only downfall was himself and he will realise this one day

I’ve only heard of Ashurst out of those names and he struggled to get in Saints reserve team

Gareth Hock was good for Leigh during the second half of his three year stint there. Mid way through the 'promotion' season, he apparently had the riot act read to him, and he really became more disciplined. Last season, in SL, he had a few outstanding games, but his problem, (along with the other 'experienced' squad members) was that he couldn't raise his game consistently, and he suffered a number of injuries.

I think his dream of one more season in SL was just that - a dream. Providing he can steer clear of injury, and he maintains his discipline, he could well be a huge asset to Featherstone.

Bit like Amor at Leeds or Walmesley (excuse my spelling because I'd never heard of this Championship player)

Maybe if you watch a bit more rugby instead of watching netball, then it wouldn't be so embarrassing.

Then you truly are as dumb as you come across - I thought it was an act but clearly not.

Nah its an act but a really bad one just like his fake Frenchman.

Said to Leigh fans they'd be in trouble if their starting forwards were Hock Higham and Tickle. Lo and behold they're back in the championship.
