Match Discussion: Round 7 vs Roosters @ McDonald Jones Stadium

[perverse]

I thought Hodko's only saving grace was his strong defense but he literally just let them walk in for 2 tries.. What is up with that?

For both of them he would have had to pivot his body and weight off one foot (basically step hard in the opposite direction to his movement) to get there. As someone with a bung knee, I can tell you that's something you really don't want to do unless you want to break something. He's got no confidence in his knees, and probably rightly so.

Think of him like a boat, can't turn or pivot sharply at speed. Straight lines are fine.

Well, I could be wrong, but I believe hodkinson is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era

If he is in that bad a shape... We need him gone asap. I didn't know it was that bad. I thought it was more 'I want to protect my knees from flying forwards after I kick' not 'I can do the crab dance because I'll snap both my legs'...

 

[Apey]

Lol if he's really that bad he needs to be taken out back and shot, i.e dropped. Ridiculous.

 

[Spot On]

Besides Barry Toohey's subtle hint that the club needs to sign a playmaker, I haven't read or heard anyone else suggesting Hodko may be even a small problem in this side.

I don't get it.
