No idea what marwan paid for him but a poster on the wigan site reckons he paid 200k , is this anywhere near the truth .

Worth more than that isn't he?

very rare you see transfer fees in league and even rarer for them to be in the hundred of thousands

I think people have an inflated idea about transfer fees in RL. Every Cas fan was quoting silly figures for Chase, but the actual figure was considerably less than any of them thought.

My guess would be that it's the case with the Hock valuation. The real figure is probably a lot less.

The eels was paying 250k aus so i guess wigan wouldn't accept any less than that.

1. How does the poster know that?
2. How does A$250,000 become £200,000 when the exchange rate is about A$1 = 55p?
3. How do we know Parramatta were offering that much?
4. How do we know Wigan wouldn't accept less when the Parramatta deal fell through but they still wanted him off the wage bill?
5. When will we realise that "people in the know" usually aren't?

Think you're right on the money. If you pardon the pun.

' undisclosed fee '
Fee's were paid for Chase , Smith & Hock.
I doubt the speculative amounts bandied about on the inter-web bare any relation to the factual amounts actually agreed .

their departing clubs fans would not want to imagine them leaving for reasonable amounts.

sorry i got my calculations as i was converting from dollars to dirhams and then pounds with out thinking properly.
it was well known that we was getting 500k for both mossop and hock.
it was also well known that we would loan him out again as wigan were happy to keep his registration unless an appropriate fee was bid. He was an international and one of the best game breakers in super league.
i never claim to be in the know far from it being out here.

No way would wigan have accepted anything less than a 100k for hock.

Looking forward to Wigan paying tax on the income stream from all these massive transfer fees. Bet the clubs accountants are loving all this money they will be asked to account for by the tax man.

The most important part of your post is the word was as you know things change like a players value and players agreeing to a contract that states he will not speak to other sports and NRL clubs for a set period but things do change

Oh how we love the experts

Ow god the chips are flipping massive it seems.
