Or the minimum! Very poor from rfl!

Ends his season... i suppose the RFL thought that would be sufficient.

In conclusion..
Pack your suitcase,enjoy your holiday and you might get a game at the back end of the 4 nations.

Weak d RFL. He should have been given the fullest available punishment. I hope Wigan now reevaluate his position and sack the piece of excreta

I wouldnt be at all surprised if they did, they cant be happy with his behaviour dragging their name through the mud especially after they stuck by him through the drug ban

If he had done that on the street he'd of got 5 years inside, too lenient imo, he could of blinded poor Ben Harrison by what he was trying to do, nothing but a thug!

When you've got Maguire defending the indefensible and backing him up then what incentive does Hock have to change his ways? He'll serve his ban and be right back with the same thuggish behaviour next season. At least then Maguire won't be around to sanction it and the new coach might be a little more responsible in the managing of his players.

Anyone expect anything else from the Wigan Disciplinary committee....sorry, I mean the RFL Disciplinary committee?

Some seriously stupid over-reaction on here. Wigan should sack him, 5 years inside if he did it on the streets - get real.

It wasn't clever, given his previous I would have thought 6 games minimum for the gouging for the punch wasn't worth a ban therefore 5 games not too far off but honestly people need to get real. Some of the over-reaction on here is more embarrassing than The Brigantes.

Wigan's players on average never get more than a slapped hand and a don't do it again PLEASE. The RFL are toothless when it comes to Wigan

That's about my thoughts as well tbh. Think the 1 game ban for the punch is a bit of a stretch but at the same time I was expecting 5 or 6 for the gouge. I imagine they'll have looked at it and said see you next season.




Absolutely. I mean no Wigan players have been banned this year have they. None. Whatsoever.

Name me times this season where Wigan have got away with it at the disciplinary? And don't bring up Wembley + Tomkins, that's barely worth what it got to begin with.
