Isn't Wigan involved in the contract we have with him as well, something about them having an option for 2016 or something.
I don't think he would easily be able to play for another ESL club without a lot of money changing hands to us and Wigan.

Got to remember Matty Johns is good friends with Kearney and would go out of his way to destabilize the club.

Hmmmm. Hocks signs with us a month ago, but then pulls out because his misses has had a baby. Either old Hock isn't too sharp, or Mrs Hock did a great job hiding that pregnant belly under lots of thick winter coats.

Almost as plausible as Inglis's "Its raining and I don't think the planes are flying" that he pulled on the Broncs.

Johns wouldn't know shit would be the likely case

Sounds like you live in a world where everyone is motivated by revenge. Just like all the other small-minded losers. "ParraFirst/Kearney/Spags/born an eel sure showed them!"

Enjoy your soap opera.

was successful in sweet talking pommy mothers into coming to Australia. Surely Sharpie could do the same?


Does Sharpie have a salary cap exempt multi million dollar property he can let him live in rent free for a couple of years ?

Maybe Roy will kick the bus driver out of his now hes finished with him and we can use that one .

Agree Hock is playing for Widnes only due he doesn't wanna play for Wigan. That shows he has previous history of not honouring contracts.

Also the silence from Hock leads me to believe there is more to it. He has had plenty of time to deny it as a rumour and from what i seen and heard has yet to do it.

Pretty sure the reason he is a Widnes is because Wigan blocked his original contract with us for this season or atleast impeded heavily an made sure he didn't come due to a disagreement with a Wigan boss (as far as I know) I remember reading a comment from him about it

I thought we weren't able or willing to pay the transfer fee last year and thus Wigan loaned him to Widnes instead so they could profit from it.

In football (soccer) the transfer fee is influenced by how many years the player has left on contract. Less years = lower transfer fee

For the terminally stupid, yes there are other factors.

So I read RLW. and Nolan got in contact with hock and he has personal issues (I'd say in regards to his pregnant wife) but he is 100% committed to coming

Sounds similar to Poore. He only had to travel from Cronulla and look how that worked out.

Translated to: The Eels have made it clear that they will seek an injunction to prevent Hock from earning £1 from any ESL club until end 2016 season.

Article is a bit weird

The journo says we will make him play for us but then the quote from Nolan makes you think he (hock) is 100% committed to coming. There is no quotes from our side in regards to making him play etc
