Wigan lose

Warrington were the better side. Wigan couldn't do anything right today....Hock in the s**t again.Well played Warrington.

what on earth was Hock playing at first he tried to gouge Harrisons eyes out and then he got two purlers in when harrison tried to play the ball,He lost it big style, a big zero to Silverwood ,He should have sent him off instead of the on report cop out, but He should be punished with a big ban, Warrington were by far the better team today,

no room for that in our game,should be hit with long ban,gouging is nearly as bad as the spear tackle

men v boys today, warrington by far the better team, thats the second time they have beaten wigan, hock should get a ban for what he did, nasty person who got a second chance.

wigan looked tired and losst nothing they did turned out right

Hock deserve the book throwing at him for the eye gouging.

Totally disgracing the town.

Hock's behaviour was disgusting!

Not a good example for the young fans and should be banned from further games until he can curb his temper/actions

Warrington were the better team on the day,a bit of luck with the second try,and then Wigan had two good chances to get back into the game and didn't finish both occasions!
I think Sam Tomkins made a naturally competitive effort to kick the ball out of the warrington players hands,but unfortunately against the rules,
I didn't like Briers version of what he did when he spoke to the ref after
No excuses for Hock,that was very poor.

warrington where the better side ,did,nt realise wigan turned up,pathetic performance.i cant condone what hock did but at least he was frustrated enough to lose his temper,dont know what the other 16 where doing.the near challenge cup fiasco as continued.

.i cant condone what hock did but at least he was frustrated enough to lose his temper

indefensible
no place for eye gouging in rugby
long ban beckons and rightly so
has been given one chance to correct his ways - does he deserve another?

If hock was to be put on report.Briers poke is nose in nothing to do width him he to should be put on report to.
Silverwood 4 out of 10.

so Lee Briers attempting to help his team mate out is to be compared to a madman trying to rip someones eyes out is it. get real Barry. Hock will get a severe ban and deservedley so.

always blame the ref

Further prolonged unwarranted abuse directed at young Sam again, and this was even before the Briers incident.
What a way to treat the most prodigious rugby talent this country has produced in over twenty years
If this continues his turn to RU will be a lot quicker than the two years he himself forecast.

why do we boo our brightest?

thanks GWIM

'Tomkins is one of the most exciting young talents that British rugby league has produced in years yet we are already lambasting when we could be embracing'

HERE HERE!!

Most welcome.

sorry i missed the supposed eye gouging,but a couple of smacks all in the game,get down to st pats or judes or the leigh amatuers happens all the time.wigvet tompkins cant pass the ball let alone being mentioned with all time great rugby league players,his passing is sus and he does,nt seem to know when the correct time to pass the ball should be.good yes great the juries out on that one.

whats happened to kenny,hope he is ok, and not took it to bad.whats one of his sayings, a bit conspicuous with your absence.

Hock should never have been allowed to play again after the drugs bust. Wigan can do better than have him in their squad, and after that last performance he has shown himself for what he is ...a thug and mediocre player. The best team won on the day.

So anyone who takes social drugs should be banned for life.

Does that include the many football players who take them at the lavish parties they attend.?

As for being a mediocre player, I think you will find that if he left Wigan, the would be a queue for him, especially when he is fully match fit. As for being a thug, he has a long way to catch Ryan Bailey who's specially is to pick on the smaller players. At least Hock picks his own size.

Stick to the fairies game.

RD,
Your absence has obviously affected your memory. I wish I had a pound (dollar) for every time Joseph has referred to football as a Fairies game I would be quite wealthy. He is a big supporter of Rugby.

"Taking cocaine makes users feel on top of the world. Its effect is like the stimulant ‘amphetamines’ (speed) but is stronger and doesn't last as long. People taking it feel wide-awake, confident and on top of their game."

That is a fairly common view of the effects of cocaine,and I agree with Joseph1!
All sportsmen who take performance enhancing drugs should be banned for life!

Tom,
I just don,t care,they all let the sport they represent down

He should be banned for taking the pill,and also his wife for giving him one and that,s my attempt at humour

I see Hock has been given a five match ban. One for punching and four for gouging. Season over. Hopefully none carried forward to next season!!!

"So anyone who takes social drugs should be banned for life."

Yes they should, what kind of role models are they to the young ones. Sport does not need them, no one can defend this type of behaviour (Drugs) in sport, any sport.

joseph warrington dont have their own thugs ,without scratching my head to dig names up, two surface very quickly ,1 morley 2 the biggest westwood.

Next Monday Night should be very enlightening!

Baker Boy, I'm on about the drugs aspect.

joseph i once had two paracetamol before a darts match in the shepherds arms and won with 14 arrows.I think its time i came clean about it .Im not proud of what i did and retired from the game soon after,

you usually needed more than two paracetamol before even going in the shepherds arms!!

too true still miss the place though

was the last landlord billy hamilton?

I think it was Ernie Gradwell, not 100% sure. Ernie last heard of by me on the Oasis LP cover on the 'Blind Shop' Steps off Darlington street east.

did Tommy Purdham or the 'Doc' (ex Foundry) have it once?

Ernie Gradwell, not seen him since Adams dad had a gammy leg.

I know he took over the "Blind Shop" Gym at the time of the Album photo, the Wigan paper? did a piece about it and Ernie.

PS. Better add I mean Ernie Snr and not his son.

Ah, Rightyho.

last landlord and landlady was ian and hazel briscoe lovely couple then before that Bob cant remember his last name another nice chap although i think he was henpecked by his missus

I thought Bob and Hazel had the Big Rock when the Sheps closed,before moving to the Hockery Brook.

Ian and Hazel Bris. Were the last,... AND BEST. Custodians of the Sheps to my knowledge, if there was anyone after them i will stand corrected, and yes they took the Hockery, they were there for some years, they have now retired from the pub scene,.. sadly.

I'm right here bryan,I'm OK,and not took it too bad,coz wolves are mugs,are they,the only surprise was the points difference
Conspicuous,absence....Sorry to dissapoint mate,we stopped off on our Med cruise and I was sat outside a bar in Naples on that fateful day,and was getting painfully updated on a regular basis,
We wanted to find a bar that had Sky,but was told by this bar owner if you go to the plaza,were they have sports channels,and are not local,"eet eez verry denjuroos",,

Anyway bryan,hope the egg dripping down your face dont taste too bad,and the humble pie dont have too thick a crust on it

God have I missed the crap on this site......not

Ta bryan

By the way,my first post should have read wolves are "no" mugs
