Just back on the Hock/Ashton thing - they clearly commented on GMR that Hock knocked on, Ashton said something to him that caused him to angrily throw away the ball and O'Loughlin had to come between them to tell them to calm down. After telling us about that incident they mentioned that Hock had been giving away penalties and was coming close to letting his temper get out of control. They also did mention that he had taken some rough treatment from Newton and Morrison.
Hock did throw the ball away but it wasn't his first mistake with the ball that lead to Ashton saying something (if that is why he did throw it, I could not judge myself what the reason was, I thought it was just frustration). I am not sure if he did give any penalties away but Morrison in particular had it for him all night.

In the end Nobby took him off toward the end and as I said elsewhere it was a wise move.
Obvoiusly not being there makes it hard for me to comment, but any tales of Hocks bad temperament are worrying. Hopefully he'll get through it and become Tuigalama like!
Morrison was just as bad and if I recall correctly of the two he was the one who got penalised for having a go at Hock. That said Hock was simmering al match after that so it was as well Nobby took him off.

Hansen was a very good replacement tonight as well.

It's very good that we beat the Bulls, and did well and all, and it's a good thing the SLS is on cause GMR featured Salford in the second half! (The good Part):angry:

Good Table postion now, especially if Brad on Stains lose 12 points and we don't! :D

Ashton got a talking to from Ganson for chunnering, but tbh it would have taken a saint not to complain at some of his bizzarre decisions.

No penalties for dissent, or high shots, but Ganson kept inventing "technical offences" that curiously weren't noticed when Bradford committed the same ones.
Whern Ganson retires I want his copy of the rule book, it will be worth thousands as it is unique, there just isn't another one like it in captivity.
