Hands up, I was one of the ones who believed Hodges was worthy of a bench spot throughout this year.
Thrown in at the deep end last year and performed admirably, was it something like 50 tackles v dogs. Showed some guts, whilst not being the final product. But jeeeez he has been disappointing this year when selected. Completely reversed my opinion on him and where he stands in the team.
As for the team it (quite alarmingly) boils down to attitude. I mean seriously, 3 weeks ago we kept 2 of the powerhouse teams of the comp at the moment to less than 20 points in total whilst putting on 70.
Two weeks later and here we are. They obviously can do it, and so the issue then squarely falls with their attitude.
And that's really f***ing annoying.
