Hodkinson returns to Manly

[tookey]

Lets put Nate Miles in a pair of leotards and slip him into the number 6 and give him one more chance.

I heard that it a swap - Hodkinson for Myles

The sharks cannot believe that we would let go a QLD SOO rep

 

[Nice Beaver]

So, more excuses for DCE? Who does he need to hold his hand now?

Mate, its going to be a loooong 5 years for you.

Remind me again.......how many premierships has future immortal Jonathan Thurston won at the Cowboys? Just becuase its obviously all on the star halfback to deliver premierships, and its so easy to do......

 

[Budgie]

I might even tip a HUGE upset!!

Behave yourself Mark!

Interesting that Flano had his son ahead of Hodko if they were needed in first grade.

I'm surprised that the Sharks are willing to let him go. They only signed him to spite us, but then their best performances of the year thus far were with him playing.

It might well be a swap with Lewis Brown yet!

Hopefully Flanno's son will be as successful at the Sharks as Bozo's sons were when he was coach at Manly.

Sharks only signed him for one year as a stop gap. How did they talk us into taking him on an 18th month contract ?? I bet they aren't paying any freight for him this season either. I could cop him coming here to finish off the season, but I hope whatever deal we have signed him too doesn't limit our recruitment process for next season. We need to be looking for something a bit more long term than Hodko.

Hastings would be an obvious swap and being closer to his home town it may suit him better. I’m sure Fifita, Gallen, Lewis and Graham would help him and they certainly wouldn’t take any of his supposed disrespect for senior players.
From Baz’s interview this morning, he obviously has a good relationship with Flanno, so maybe that’s the deal.

It has been reported, that we would pay his frieght for the balance of this year, and all of next year.

In regard to Hodo the relevant point at the present time is whether he does actually have the match fitness level [ on the injury front ] and playing good enough footy and at a sufficient level to warrant changing a winning back line grouping . If it seems that he can offer something more to the side right now , fair enough , but what he has offered worthwhile in the past is still no indication that he can produce it now. Cut from the knights and now running around with Newtown , maybe he is playing o k , maybe he has been struggling a bit. , it is not really clear . To be recruited as a depth player in the short term seems with in reason but to be injected into a winning side straight away is really another matter. Like Walker , Jamie Lyon was certainly better then most N R L centres [ if not the best ] at the time when he played 5 / 8 and that did not preclude him from playing at 6 and for the best interests of that successful Manly side then. Really can not see any difference now in Walker"s instance and now in the 6 .

Hodgo has already played 5 NRL games this year as the starting half back for the sharks. His knees where fine.A little slow with side ways lateral movement against quick outside backs so inside cover D will have to be ready for that, but his kicking and passing and front one on one defence no problems

Hodkgo In ... Walker to centre ..... Suli to wing .... M. Wright to #14 .....


I'm a Suli fan ... went well, but I must of missed the 6 tries he scored if people are talking about dropping Kelly ......

Im a Suli fan, he is only going to get better and better and the more he plays NRL the quicker he will progress

Agree .... but I'm not dropping Kelly for him ......

I reckon they have cap issues, but rothtool would be keeping that one quiet

**** off hodkinson, walker is playing just fine, we dont need him.
Be honest, we arent gonna do anything special this year, if we do somehow make the eight, well get knocked out first round. Best to look to next year blooding young guns

 

[Woodsie]

Welcome back Hodko ....... you're on a mission from God ..... best wishes .........
