We always talk about the fastest players in League and people like James Roberts and Marika koroibete get all these wraps for their pace.

Got me thinking - Who do you think is the slowest player in league?

Gotta be hodkinson for me. I'm almost certain George Rose would beat him in a 40 metre dash.

Running slow or head slow? Aha. I can't think of anyone slower than Hodko atm tbh.

Physically it is Hokko, his knees aren't just up to scratch for running and accelerating anymore.

Ennis is very slow too, despite being pretty fit.

Hokko hasn't even tried to run fast so we can't even say how slow he is. Gaps open up for him and he still looks to pass.

Anyone notice now that no one even marks up on Hodkinson anymore, because they know he'll always pass and never run it himself?

That used to be the best part of his game a few years back - dummying and running it himself.

Tony Williams. Has only taken him 3 years to have a go for the Dogs. Even then it's inconsistently. Now that is slow

They do that with both Hodko and Reynolds. They receive the ball too far wide and then they don't even straighten up the attack to try and stop the sliding defence. Hodko just flicks it off to the next person and Reynolds just runs sideways till he is almost on the sideline and just flicks if back to whoever.

To the Kennels defence. No one has ever praised his speed.

I dont think there is any malice in this thread. He did have a rubbish game on Sunday though.
