Pou will flip-flop his strongly held position within 30mins of Brad Arthur taking a decision to give Hands the start/majority minutes over Hodgson.

(And find/invent some stats to support his new position too - while arguing that he always thought Hands deserved to get the nod in front of Hodgson....)
Few of my positions are strongly held because there generally isn't enough information in rugby league to be too convinced of anything. In the case of Hodgson, he has his weaknesses, no different from most players. That includes Brendan Hands. But as Hands gets more experienced he will improve, and as Hodgson gets older and picks up more niggling injuries he will decline. Eventually Hands will overtake him. That's just inevitable. It won't be a matter of Arthur "finally admitting his mistake" or whatever bullshit narrative you try and spin.

Arthur wants the team to win as much as anyone, and he makes decisions with that in mind. He's already proven he isn't motivated by nepotism when he picked Hands on the bench over his son. That's just another occasion when he showed you know-alls are full of shit.

You've developed a formula where your right no matter what happens. You could solve world peace

If Hodgson declined anymore he’d be dead.

Hold no opinions.

Offer no insight.

Wonk-speak.
I’ve got plenty of opinions and offer a great deal of insight if you can open your mind to receive it. What I don’t have is answers, just like you. However unlike you, I ask good questions. I’m actually surprised you claim to be in law, because a lawyer’s job isn’t to know things, it’s to assume they don’t know, and ask the right questions. You seem to lack that intellectual curiosity. You should take a leaf out of Gronk’s book. He is in his 60s and still wonders if he’s gay.

As much as I want to argue, that is a well crafted response.

Omg you've proven his nepotism doesn't exist over one selection

Interestingly, Josh Hodgson sold his house in Canberra over the weekend.

Although to be honest, the house that was sold, I'm not sure he actually lived in it.

Perhaps things working out a little bit better than expected in the big smoke for the lad from Hull.

I'd imagine the club's option not much before 30 September, and the player option before 31 October?

And yes, he could end up serving a double coaching act with Rankin!
