If we have a spine of Campbell brimmo and sexton I think its imperative we get an experienced hooker.
My only concern is if sexton goes down who plays HB? Could Hodgson play half and then run Clarke and booth as hookers?
I think they way ash sudden disappeared out of the team for Peachey in the most important games of the season shows something went down behind the scenes and as much as I kept wishing every week would be the week ash delivers I think there's no way he could've re signed best for both parties to change
How's Brent wolf go? From the limited time ive seen him seems more of a natural hooker then say clarke
Just watched the highlights of the Seagulls game, jeez didn't Sexton have a game. Even iced it with a field goal at the end...which I don't think I saw Jamal do all year?
Early betting markets have us improving by one spot from 8th to 7th next season.
I think hodgson would be a good swap. Mainly because he knows how to run a forward pack. Imagine him running mo, fifita and tino off him. Plus he has a good kicking game and can teach booth, Clarke etc how to direct the boys around and pick your moment. I'd only take hi. For a year to see how he performs. On fogarty, he's a good organiser and a good club man. That's it. Very predictable and despite two years with us hasn't really created solid combinations with the back rowers or centres. I honestly like this idea.
WE would have to offer Hodgson a 2 year deal for him to be enticed. which means we may not be able to offer Brandon Smith or Harry Grant a deal. Also the game is going away from hookers having an impact and back to them being pass and tackle bots that just lead the team around. The impact has gone back to a flat fast first receiver. We still need someone smart enough at 9 to dictate who gets the ball when.
I’m a bit of a Tanah Boyd fan for 9.
