I would be upset if he went, top player regardless of the drug taking.

Is this before of after Hansen goes to Salford?





Nothing more than a case of some wind up merchant trying to stir something up so that it ends in next weeks Wigan Observer and sitting back laughing at how people fell for it. The keyboard equivalent of someone dialing 999 with a hoax call then wacking one off when a big shiny fire engine comes round the corner with its lights flashing

I can assure you that I am NOT a "wind up merchant"!



The source of my information is genuine. I really don`t care whether you believe me or not!

Good. Because I don't think anyone does.

Could you let gaz know wigan hold his registration until november 2011 then, ta

defies logic if its true, makes no sense



he could come back and be an absolute pudding, then there the posability that he hasnt changed, then theres the fact that they arnt short of players in oz and they only sign sure things from this country, dont think they would take the chance to be honest , maybe 12 months after his return , but not now

If he's going to be a pudding he might as well do it on £200,000 a year rather than £90,000 though eh?



Don't think it's true but it's not the end of the world if it is, we're not exactly lacking back-row forwards at the moment and there are some pretty big if's about him coming back to Wigan and taking the place by storm.

I assume were it true a transfer fee would have to be agreed or Hock would be allowed to leave by Wigan, I cannot see Wigan being happy to let him walk for free given the support they seem to have given him, so unless a club was happy to stump up a fee, which lets be honest would be a huge risk given he is out of the game then I cant see him going anywhere.



To be honest it does not add up, but stranger things have happened.

So he is still contracted to Wigan?

The clubs also hold his registration?

If was going to Aus then surely the NRL would have to register him as a players for Penrith.

Do they not also abide by the WADA drug rules?

I simply can't believe that the NRL would register him until his 2 year ban is completed. That's is any of this is true.

It wouldn't surprise me if this was Gaz Hock (horses mouth remember) having a joke with the locals. He must get stopped in the street and asked a dozen times a day from strangers 'Are you going back to Wigan', it must get on his nerves - therefore it must be tempting for him to change his story now and then.

Hock to Penrith, Hansen to Salford, Roberts to oz, Richards to NFL, Wigan to play at Knowsley road next year, you heard it here first!

You know he might be going around saying things like this to see which idiot is dumb enough to post the latest 'gossip' on rlfans....



Paying a transfer fee and registering a pommie drug ban player, are not things the NRL are likely to do.
