Excerpt from http://www.qrl.com.au/display.php?pg_id=4679 'Super Six' Lead The Charge THIS weekend’s round marks the halfway point of the Queensland Cup season. There have been many fine individual and team performances since the first ball was kicked in March. www.qrl.com.au takes a look at some of the standout performers. TRENT HODKINSON – Sunshine Coast Sea Eagles The understudy to Manly Sea Eagles halfback Matt Orford has been one of the shining lights for the Sunshine Coast this year. His great form in the Queensland Cup has him knocking on the door of NRL selection. An intelligent organiser and excellent kicker, Hodkinson is highly regarded by many good judges, including recruitment guru Noel Cleal who handpicked the Cabramatta junior to be Orford’s understudy. Hodkinson inspired the Sea Eagles’ comeback against Burleigh last weekend with a stunning display. After 10 rounds, Hodkinson has scored 62 points from six tries and 19 goals. It sounds like the QRL rates him well
put him on the bench and give him a go here and there. If he kicks well and organises well thats all we need as theres enough talent to create tries. Id hate to retain ORford and let go all the others on contract.. Orfords old and hes got too many niggling injuries.. not worth it.
Sounds like Trent Hodkinson is going really well come on Des give him a run in the NRL it will also help put pressure on Orford.
Especially like to hear he's got a good kicking game. Hodkinson & Ox in the halves during origin? Sounds like he may be up to it - a way to assess future options?
Maybe so but that doesn't mean that he is a nothing player. Going by the write up from the QRL website, he is one of the 6 stand out players in their competition at the halfway point.
