it's good to see though, Hock showed today that if people think they can just start trying to bully Sam then they are going to back him up to the hilt, proper team work the wigan lads looking out for each other

i can relate being a fullback, and i got some frightful abuse against opposition forwards at times and my forwards we're always there to look after me.

i think it's a role Hock could take on more, we've had Faz, Saints had Scully and Leeds have Peacock, all players that protect younger players, the responsibility might get Hock to focus on cutting out the silly errors and concentrate on the good things about his game

Wilkin seems a bit like a cherry on top, he's alright when the team plays well, but he's useless when needed to dig in and fight to win a game. Like how in the grand finals and his test appearances he has been invisible but is good in the challenge cup against weak opposition when saints are already clearly on top.

then what the heck are you doing on here?

Perfect assessment, the same goes for Pryce and Martyn was the same.

read my posts i did!! i clearly said the best british backrower in the game is gas ellis.

so i was as clear as day about my convictions. as for the others i just pointed out a handful of players who imo are just as dangerous if not more so when attacking the oposition line than hock

poor attemp at a blow out! read the thread before you jump the gun

damn right!! hide and seek champ 07,08!!
