Justin Hodges may make shock return for Broncos against Eels

[PigBenis]

TEST centre Justin Hodges may make a shock NRL return in a boost to the struggling Brisbane Broncos in Sunday's clash against Parramatta.

Hodges, who badly injured his knee in Origin I last month, resumed training with his club in a private session at Suncorp Stadium on Friday morning.

Skipper Darren Lockyer was unsure whether the Queensland three-quarter would be fit to return at Parramatta Stadium but Hodges will be assessed for duty on Saturday.

Brisbane have conceded a staggering 138 points in their last three losses to Melbourne, the Bulldogs and Cronulla, leaking more than 40 points in each game.

The Broncos would love to welcome back Hodges, one of the best defensive backs in the game.

Queensland Origin heroes Sam Thaiday and Israel Folau were rested from the closed-doors session due to post-Origin soreness but are expected to train at the Broncos' Red Hill headquarters on Saturday morning.

Lockyer said embattled NSW halfback Peter Wallace looked sharp and was determined to help turnaround the Broncos recent woes.

SHOCK!

Maybe he can help the half a million dollar winger with his "defence."

[Wahesh]

Matai may get injured every week but "wimp" is not a word you can call him.

lol... he always look sharp in training.

I'd like to see someone that is about to be tackled by Matai call him a wimp...

Wallace is a fantastic player.
He is the halfback Brisbane have needed since Langer retired.

Anyone John's coaches turns to **** and he has a fantastic record to prove it, he was coaching the bulldogs haves last year 10x improvement from roberts and holdsworth after he left. Wallace in fantastic form as soon as he went to Origin has been **** since and ****tard coach like Bellamy bagging him out publicly is the worst possible thing you can do to a halfback under pressure, ridiculous. Meninga goes full defensive when people bagged out Thurston and Lockyer this year(which was LOLZ big time) Bellamy sacks his 5/8 after a bad game and bags his halfback in the press, 0-2 LOL!

ON topic. Justin God Hodges will be the saviour, the best centre in the NRL now just shift Folau to the centres, **** off Steve Michaels and stop changing hooker every week (and **** off Origin....) and woot we'll be back on track!

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

LOL @ anyone Johns coaches turns to ****. Do you really think the things he taught someone like Roberts isn't coming into play atm? There's absolutely no negative of having a great like Johns helping out in any team.

How's that cool half mil doing on the wing? God it will be sad if Broncos can't manage to beat Parra.

Johns is a **** coach, his record proves just as much.
I didn't mention anything at all about his playing ability.
Playing ability DOES NOT = Coaching ability. How's the great Freddie Fittler's coaching career going?
Funny Moore was a dead average player at best who played about 7 first grade games yet has already proven that he's a better coach then Fittler will ever be. Gould wasn't a "great" player either but IMO he's a terrific coach, Bennett was a good player hardly a "great" player yet he's the best coach going around.

Stupid argument, if I think someone is a **** coach playing ability has nothing to do with it not everyone's born to be a coach and what are the "desperate" times and desperate "measures"? Bringing back a superstar player when he's fit is a desperate measure? Yeah great logic!

 

[afghan4life]

no izzy but maybe him

 

[Kent Brockman]

they need him back.. they've seemingly been nothing without him.. which is strage as i do not rate him that highly

 

[K E]

No. Not even Hodges.

Remember, PigPenis. Cut vertical, not horizontal.
