They made a point of showing it on Granads Reports or do you not get it in your Region??,

I am still waiting for some Wigan fans to actually tell me just what does Gareth Hock bring to a Rugby League field apart from sheer thuggery.

Wait a minute but you can clearly hear Harrison scream when Hock does what he does. Ok there may have been no "injury" but there must have been pain for Harrison to scream out.



What he did was not defendable.

Yes, that's exactly what happened. Oh wait...

I thought there was much excitement over his return!



I would check the forum but you already know it is true

It wasn't so much a hero's welcome for Hock as a vomfest of self-indulgent backslapping by Lenagan and co for transforming Hock into some sort of repentant latter day saint. He had, we were told in many a newspaper article and TV piece, got his act together and was taking care of Wigan orphans and healing the sick.



Anyway, bravo to the Wigan fans for the following in this thread:



- Hock's act can't have been that bad because Harrison can still see;

- Hock's act can't be that bad because someone else once did an even worse gouge.

Excitement and heroes welcome are two different things. I don't think anyone condoned his behavior; but either way that doesn't stop him being an exciting player. No doubt you're now going to say something about the eye gouging, I'd say don't waste your time as I already think it was deplorable.

Post been on the white stuff?

Played a game have we?



If you read back 'I think' Hock will get 1 for the punch and 2 - 4 for the gouge, but in all honesty I think we won't see him until next season.



I said it's bad what he did but not that bad (the way some are going on its like he popped his eyeball out of the socket), watch the incident again on mute and tell me its as bad as the link I provided or any other gouge in Rugby Union.



Yes, it is a poophouse tactic and the lowest of the low if its as in the link.

I fail to see POST where you think STEVE51 has called you names as per your reported Post.



I suggest if you keep getting responses you dont like you off back to the Wigan board and stay there.

grasssssssssssssssssssss

Post..thanks for reminding me why I dislike a certain 'element' of Wigan fans so much.....arrogant, unreasonable and blinkered.

I agree with you, attempted eye gouge ( banned until next season ) and if there were any damage whatsoever to Ben Harrison whether it be a shiner or damage to sight then a lengthy ban would to a lifetime ban would ensue, [uthis is the point Ive been trying to get across [/uand getting shot down from all angles.
