Tommy Smith said:Even though he did the dirty on the Roosters i'll never forget some of the amazing performances he put in between, as OVP said, mid-2002 and his ACL in 2003.
Such a complete footballer and he's well and truly at the peak of his powers right now. Not just the best centre, but arguably one of the top 3 players in the NRL right now.
Just remember mate, Hodges was only a kid from Qld living in Sydney with a model girlfriend at the time. His whole life started to crumble away, and craved to go back home with his family. Its only natural to do that. His performance in the 2004 GF was atrocious though, so maybe thats what u meant, and not his actual leaving ?
EDIT : Actually i wouldnt be surprised if the selection of Hodges in the 2004 GF led to our overall demise.... Thats when Ricky gained total control, and thats when we started to lose.
