Super League 2013

[kinboshi]

Dwayne,  moved your posts to the new Super League thread. Hopefully,get some other opinions.

Ryan Hall could be a bet for top try scorer this season, as I believe he'll have a centre alongside him instead of Ablett. Also, Ben Jones -Bishop is out for a good few months because of a blood clot, so Leeds might favour Hall's wing even more.

Lee Radford is pretty handy, would be my favourite.
Tim street must be a bit old
Hope Sibbit can box better than he plays.

Keep hearing rumours about Wigan getting rid of Hock, any truth Kin?

Been hundreds of different rumours, based on him but travelling to the US, etc.

But, appears tree truth is he's been injured, and now he's having surgery.

Yeah, Radford can fight.  He was my initial pick as favourite. Some hard men amongst them.

Out of current players, I'd fancy McIllorum against almost anyone else. Proper hard-nut, and people who know him have said there's only one person they'd back in a fight against him - and that's his mum!

Chris Tuson looked handy in the scrap vs Saints.

I think Sculthorpe may be a decent pick as well

Betts has gone public about Widnes' interest in Hock. Maybe he will move on?

Is Hock moving a 'big thing'?

Out on loan to Widnes for the season.  Rumours that he failed a drug test for recreational drugs (internal club testing), and the owner is furious with him (after standing by him for 2 years during his ban).

Is Hock moving a 'big thing'?

Well, he's one of the best second-row forwards in the Super League and is an England international.  He has phenomenal strength and is very good at drawing tackles and still being able to off-load.  Definitely a miss for Wigan, especially with the other players who've moved on this winter.

He's a silly boy, as Wigan have stood by him during his ban and it looks as though he's thrown that back at them.  He never was the brightest though

Sounds like he has treated Wigan like shit

It does, and I think that's probably the case.  Of course, would be good to hear it from his point of view as well.

A big loss for Wigan, but bigger and better players have moved on in the past.  Could have done without it though this season with all the other changes to the squad.  Going to be a big season for Farrell.

says in his interview that "its between him and Wigan" and would not elaborate.
