Hodkinson returns to Manly

[40 years an eagle]

expensive peanuts - at Newcastle he was on a lot (reported around 700K), Cronulla picked up a decent chunk of that and we will pick up Cronulla's share, add 1 year (probably at a similar amount). Hearing around 400K per year but you really cannot tell these days.

His 2018 contract at NC was 850k.
They paid 425k of it from their 2017 cap.
They paid him another 100k this year.
He signed with Cronulla for 2018 for 150k, which he has been paid half of.
He has been paid 600k so far for 2018.

I'm guessing we will need to pay him 75-150k for the rest of this year and around 500-600k for next year.

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles are pleased to announce the signing of experienced half Trent Hodkinson, effective immediately.

Hodkinson, 29, has signed for the remainder of this season and for 2019.

His move to Narrabeen from Cronulla Sharks marks a return home to the Sea Eagles with Hodkinson making his NRL debut for Manly in 2010, playing 24 games that season.

Since then, Hodkinson has played 160 NRL matches with stints at Canterbury, Newcastle, and Cronulla.

Sea Eagles Coach Trent Barret said Hodkinson brings plenty to the team.

"Trent's experience and game management will be of enormous value to us,'' Barrett said.

"As a person, Trent is also highly respected for the wonderful amount of work he does in the community, so he will bring plenty to the Club on and off the field. This is a great signing for Manly."

He has also represented NSW on six occasions.

Move to Narrabeen? For training?? Or is it the Narrabeen Sea Eagles now?

Good to have Trent back where he started his NRL career.

Anyone know if the Sharks are carrying half his freight for this season? Should be given that seems to be the norm.

The way I understood it was we would take over his Sharks contract and extend it by a year. The knights are still covering approx. 1/3 for this year and next.

I think next years number is high but even if it was accurate that's not terrible if where not carrying either Crocker (and after 3 knee reconstructions he's going to need to do a Kosef shortly and play in the front row) or Hastings on the books next year and the club commits to T.Wright being next in line.

This is my understanding too. I would think we are paying $150k to $200k for next year.

Ya know, I think watching that video is the first time I have heard him speak. Weird.

NC have already paid 525k of his 2018 contract. His contract with Cronulla for 2018 is 150k. I have no figures for him about 2019.

I am the first to have a go at the club re poor content but that video was close to the best content they have produced in the last couple of years

Welcome Trent. This bloke is all class off the field ( met him a few times when he played QCup) and a professional on it.
DCE will get the opportunity to show his real class simply by the reduction of the pressure in the kicking stakes. Having to position yourself every set to take the kick reduces his potency so much.And Dylan, Tom and Thommo etc will love it. We won’t be world beaters from here but will be a football team with more composure and control and wth our young talent that is precious.

Haha already at the club, wearing Manly gear, being interviewed in Manly gear and the club still hasnt announced his signing.

What is our aversion to announcing signings that play in the halves.

Probably waiting the dicky knee check

The value of an effective five eighth stood out for me as far back as 1968. Souths were on the rise and had won the preceding year. But their 1968 season started poorly with five losses from 11 matches. I cant recall how Dennis Pittard came to Souths, but I recall him being added as 5/8 to the Souths side for round 12. They lost only two games in the next 14 games, one against a hot Manly outfit in the semi. But they beat us in the Gand Final. I remember how impressed I was with the impact Pittard had in getting that outstanding South's side functioning again. A five eighth is your lynch pin. If they dont perform up to standard, chances are the team wont. Walker couldnt do it in '16. Green managed it in '17. So far in '18 we've had no five eighth to get the team functioning effectively. Hodko is a tried and effective rep organiser. As long as his fitness holds, I think this will turn Manly's season around.

 

[Bearfax]

I doubt that will be the team Manly uses against the Storm
