Bearing in mind that this is his Brother in law talking.

Surely March is too early? Thought his ban started in June/July?

I thought that myself. if correct could his be the adversary of the positive test result?



Happy if it is correct

Yep - he's only allowed to start any kind of training or playing with a RL club on 23 June 2011.

Very confusing.



I presume Brown was talking about the 24th June game at the DW which would be around the time his ban is up.

I was also under the impression that it would be mid-June before he's eligible again. The sooner the better though!

Kev Brown must have been on about that game in June then.

Even then there's no way Hock will be playing a day after his ban finishes.

Of course. I wouldn't expect to see him until late July at the earliest really and with the depth we have in the pack theres no rush.

Quins away 9th July

Wakey Home 16th July

Huddersfield Home 23rd July



I'd expect him to play in all of those.

There seems to be an expectacey that Hock is going to just breeze his way back into the side no matter what.



I can't see this happening unless we have major injury problems around this time or the team is not performing.



I think Hock has an awfull lot to prove in training and possibley in the reserves before he is considered back into the side. I would hate to see an in form Liam Farrell or any other player for that matter make way for Hock as soon as his ban finishes.

I never knew there was any doubt he would be going anywhere else.
