I said baby at the end, so it must be true.
*looks at Gould*

IMO, Hodges is the best player in the world ATM. I don't think he gets enough credit when they talk about the top 3 in the comp.

*looks at Gasnier*

*cough*

Gasnier is the best centre in the game.

Proned to blow ups. When was the last time Hodges was a twit. I think he has been great this year, well better then the myth of Gasnier.

I dont think you can call anyone the best player in the world because there are so many different styles of players in different positions. If i was going to pick the best centre in the world i would say Gasnier, Inglis and Hodges are the best 3 in no particular order. I think Webcke has been the best forward in the comp for a long time, maybe taken over this year but over the course of his career i put him #1 for all forwards in that time frame.

If Gasnier is so good, then why hasn't he won a premiership for the Dragons yet? Hodges was the driving force behind the Broncos success this year.

Lockyer was the driving force behind the Brisbane premiership win. Simple as that

Hodges is powerful yes, but is too slow to be considered a better centre than Gasnier. Gasnier's footwork is magic.

And didn't hodges let in a 40/20 on the last tackle last night?? That is proof that he's a bit slow.

Andrew Johns is slow but he's considered the greatest of all time.
Hodges may not be the as quick as Gasnier but he's twice as strong as him.

Of course he was. Hodges was huge in our success, it was really his move to fullback that sparked the reinvention of our attack in the back end of the season. Along with Lockyer, Berrigan and Civoniceva he was one of the main reasons we won the comp.

:lol: Can't blame him for that mate. The ball bounced about half a foot in from touch at a fairly acute angle.

Hodges is a great athlete but hardly a candidate for best in the world.

Excellent call Twopac. Hodges has been awesome this year. I read Wendall said he is playing the best football by any outside back in the last 5 years. He's been dominating all year. He outshone made Gasiner and all other outside backs look like ordinary in Origin and the finals.

No sh*t. You don't really need to be a speed machine to play halfback either.

One on one, Gasnier would kill Hodges for pace.
