I reckon he should miss the grand final purely based on his high levels of f**kwitism over the years.
Be perfect to see him sit in the stands and watch his team get done by little brother on his last game ever.

Lol blaming Guerra.
He's jumped but actually, regardless there's a possibility he still ends up like that because Hodges lifted the leg....silly of Hodges but not surprising.

Broncos are forever in bed with the NRL so he should get off, ill just about die of shock if he doesn't.

I don't know where you get this from, our record for challenging judiciary charges is atrocious, I think we have had one success out of the last 10 or so we have tried to challenge.

Yeah, our record is that horrendous at the judiciary it is about time we had the benefit of a 50/50 call.

That said, it has been that long since we were successful it is hard to envisage it being any different this time round.

Whether Hodges plays is academic, Broncos won't win anyway cause Thurston 'walks on water'. That's what they believe in Townsville!

Carch, are you suggesting that Hodges doesn't play in the spirit of the game? No, I won't have that!

What ever happens to Hodges,rugby league fans will still be the winner.

If he missed the GF,bad luck and the Cows will tear their backline apart.

If he gets off the charge,at least he will still have a big target on him when Roy & H.G. call the match on Sunday.:lol::lol:

Hodges won a Grand Final ring with the Sydney Roosters in 2002. He was an obnoxious kid then and did not deserve it. He is now an obnoxious adult -- a relentless sledger which means a very bad sport -- and thus he ought to miss out.

He deserved to get charged.

However, I can see him using Guerra's testimony as a defence. Whether it's successful or not is anybody's guess but given some of the judiciary decisions in the past I wouldn't be surprised.

Going back a few years here, but I remember JT was in a similar position during a finals series. Put a Warriors player in a dangerous position, it was a spear tackle for all the money in the world yet was somehow found not guilty at the judiciary. The Cows still got pumped by Manly but it goes to show that it isn't unprecedented and the Cows can't really complain if he does get off. In fairness, I don't see many wanting him suspended. They want the Broncos at their best, just as much as we want the Cowboys at theirs, so the best team can win on the day, no excuses.

I will never forget the way Hodges mistreated Chris Sandow last year when Sandow tried to greet Hodges at the end of a game. He was arrogant, dismissive and nasty towards Sandow.

I hope that the judiciary finds Hodges guilty of a viciously dangerous tackle and bans him from playing for several games.

JUSTIN Hodges must overcome Brisbane’s horrendous seven per cent success rate at the NRL judiciary if the champion Bronco is to be freed for his grand final fairytale.

Just once in 14 attempts this century has a Bronco player been exonerated at the NRL judiciary.

Gotta be the worst strike rate in the league by far, and is why most Broncos fans (outside of a grand final) see no point in challenging the NRL judiciary anymore.

Lol you mean the fight where they both threw haymakers at each other missing wildly on just about every one of them? The real time he got belted was when casey maguire floored him when he was playing for the Roostes.

:lol:

First, brushing off Sandow should make him a folk hero

Second, he only has one, or no games left, all that should matter is that tackle

The judiciary are a laughing stock, so who know what they'll do

It always makes me laugh when Blues fans hang their hats on that fight with Grothe as if it was some epic battle that Grothe won. Both players were throwing wild shots that didn't connect and both walked away unscathed yet NSW fans feel they need to remember it as some almighty pasting.
