We got him much cheaper than when he was world class, and medical retirement was always going to be an option.

We have a bunch of great runners in the spine and in the middle. We just don’t need a big money hooker with a running game. Nobody does. The minor premiers this year will have Kenny or Walters starting at 9.

He needed to be able to hold his end up defensively. Especially playing with Jnr. He failed miserably on all counts, imo.

Every hooker 'fails miserably' the more they're left isolated. But Hodgson made adjustments as the season went on and was isolated far less often. The five games after the Broncos, before he succumbed to injury, he tackled at 92% but more importantly made 0.56 tackles per minute. We didn't exactly improve without him.

Wow, let's be thankful someone suffered a career ending neck injury.
Where did anyone day that??? He won't be missed and it's better for the club moving forward but no one on here wished him injury. Even though plenty of us could see it happening........

Not defensive at all, just another moment when you come into the convo and offer actual zero besides a little jab at anyone who is remotely critical.

This post in your sig needs to be updated with as long as you agree with my point of view. It's very ironic.

"Whilst I may not agree with your opinion, I'll defend to the death, your right to express it."
