Hock's contract

Post by GeoffN »

Great news! We knew from the squad numbers that he was staying, but 3 years is a good deal for both Gareth and the club.

Hehe - true, but our posts were exactly at the same time, you're lucky I dint say jinx.

Hock will be like an entirely new signing to us, considering how few games he played last year! I bet he'll improve yet again this year, with his supposedly bigger frame and an experienced 2nd rower to run with in Fletcher.

Expecting this lad to do really well for the future - question is how long will he take to get back up to speed, having missed so much of last year?

If him and Sean-O come back strong we should have one of the best mobile packs in SL next year! :cool:

That's the only thing that concerns me about Hock and O'Loughlin...it's often the case that players don't really recover from a serious injury. I'm looking forward to having O'Loughlin's long tactical kicking back - something we've really missed this year without Faz.
I can see both of them being fixtures in the GB side very soon, as long as they do both come back fully recovered.

Hopefully not. Unlike DV, we have had these 2 with us all throught their injuries. Don't know about Lockers, but surely the fact thet Hock has been given a new deal means he is fully fit?

thats not true at all because once the bone as fully healed and recovered its just as strong as it was before break and before u say look at carney that was his hamstring not his ankle that he broke.

Hock didn't break anything. Wasn't it ligament damage?
