Breaking news: Hodko to play

[Scorpio]

Here's hoping for a solid and injury free hit out by Trent tonight.

Nothing too flash or fancy - just a confidence building game he can build on.

 

[TrickmA]

I prayed for a KK injury! So good to see Trent back.

 

[Subwoofer]

Wait Wait

Everyone wants Hodko because he is "structured" yet the main criticism of Keating has been the lack of tries he sets up.

How do these two mix?

Because structure leads to tries. You just cant be kris keating and pass the ball to a better player and hope for the best.

 

[Klem Bupa-Berg]

Hodkinson is in. Des spoke on Triple MMM

 

[BootS]

Woop woop

 

[(((((SMACK)))))]

I want repeat sets....

 

[HajdukSplit]

There goes my hundred on the dogs

 

[Allan]

Unless we do a hell of a lot better than in previous weeks SBW will carve us up. I wish Hoddo and the boys well. Hope they are up for it tonight.

 

[Nate DAWG]

KK has been extremely poor this year because he has had to play half back, last year it was Kas,Pritchard and Graham with him floating around at the back. This added responsibility has destroyed his confidence and then and as a result his defence(always questionable) and his kicking game has been useless. Hopefully Hodgkinson can at least steer us around the park, hit Williams/Pritchard on an angle and have a solid kicking game.. then just maybe we will have a chance tonight.

We can't win with the turtle at halfback

Chipandchase is at it again! Wannabe footballer with no f..... idea!

 

[RO11LR]

Hoping he doesn't stiffle our forward progress/attack like KK has been , if he's worth his contract he'll have a blinder tonight.

 

[RaaYzR]

Happy for Hodko, hope he brings he's best. Played great for us last year before his injury and deserves to get his FG spot back.

 

[Q-Tip]

hope he does well but I don't expect much of a difference from KK tbh

 

[Mallyboy]

Kris Keating has been ruled out. Trent Hodkinson - who has been largely forgotten playing in the NSW Cup this season - will start at halfback. Ben Barba will play, nursing a hand injury. Daniel Tupou is expected to play for the Roosters despite Michael Oldfield remaining on an extended bench.

yeahhhhhh!!!!!!!

I won't be expecting a miracles from Hodgo. However, hopefully he can steer the boys around the park. His kicking game must also be top notch as well.

 

[JUNKYARD DOGS]

krippy has shin soreness

Probably from all the miss kicks. There has to be some sort of excuse for kicking into so many players.

 

[LFC Bulldogs]

Didnt Hodkisnson get some game time last year against the Roosters before he got injured again. From memory he goes well against them or am i thinking of 2010

 

[HajdukSplit]

I hope they dont do the so predictable cross-kick, otherwise it will be the same result.

Has anyone put up a high bomb at all in the last 5 rounds? Any?

 

[Chris Harding]

First game back, in a side with a 1-5 record. I won't expect too much of him just yet.

 

[Bakes]

First game back, in a side with a 1-5 record. I won't expect too much of him just yet.

1-4, dont make it sound worse than it is

 

[VAI]

It will take him some weeks to adjust, and if the team play crap, he's not going to set the world on fire at all. This will escape some people no doubt
