Hodkinson may have fooled everyone again into giving him a richer, longer contract than he probably deserves by catching and passing and tackling in an Origin. It's amazing that a player who really shouldn't be there to begin with now will get a decent deal not because he played well in one game, but because he didn't play badly... Other off contract players in the league must be scratching their heads and wondering how he does it...
Anyway, as long as both sides move on as a result, I'm happy and as I said after Wednesday, his "virtuoso" performance is probably the best case scenario for him to secure a new deal elsewhere in the next few weeks.
