Is Brian Noble loosing his mind?

Hock damaged his hand against Harlequins the last time Warriors played, with X-rays later revealing a fracture.
Noble said: "This is a serious blow for both the player and the team.
"Gareth has certainly been one of our more consistent performers throughout the season, and we could have done without news such as this at this stage.

Hmmmmm very worrying
:conf:

Depends on how you define consistent.
Constistently giving penalties away, then this would be correct.

What do you expect him to say?

A coach should never undermine his players in public - what goes on behind closed doors is their business

[emperor kel]

I really think he is, he has chosen Millard again so must rate, what hope can we have for his judgement in relation to new players.

[Cruncher]

I'd like to have seen his face when he was saying this. Do you think he was biting his lip, trying desperately not to roar with laughter?

[lancaster077]

I think he was more than biting his lip, I think Hock had a gun pointing at the back of his neck when he said it.

Just rein yourselves in a bit. The only things Hocky needs to do is be more selective with the offloads and keep his discipline (I think that had improved recently). Barring that he remains a very strong running forward, second only to Feka is difficulty to tackle and he is our best offloader.

Noble's statement is a bit daft but I side with you generally but best off loader?. For that he needs to learn when to offload and when not.

I think it might do Hock good to miss a few games and he does need to sort his game out. He has not for me reproduced his try nations form at all. I am very frustrated by the way he has played this season because he still has the potential to be a great player.

I did think we looked OK with Hansen starting tonight so Hock had better take note.

Hock has managed one first in 2007 - he's managed to be crap all season.

For a player who's actually pretty good, that's going some.

Even the worst players usually have at least one decent game, but Hock's defied even this law of physics.

In short, he'd better get his act together, or HE'S OUT OF HERE.
