Not always going to win a premiershipSure he was solid. Though nothing wrong with wanting more than solid. How many premierships did he win with us? 0
Agree, he was a turtledisagree i reckon he was mostly bog average..couldnt wait for him to fuck off.
hodkinson would sometimes go a whole set without touching the ball, he was terribleLooked less keen to touch the ball than Marcia Brady for most of his career.
Doesn't mean he wasn't talking and directing plays... Hasler liked his forwards to dictate play also. Besides you don't play origin and score the winning try if your shit... Everyone can say Hayne this and Hayne that, but fact is Hodko stood up when it counted.hodkinson would sometimes go a whole set without touching the ball, he was terrible
That's a bit unfair, Des used Tolman and Graham as first receivers.hodkinson would sometimes go a whole set without touching the ball, he was terrible
Hodko only played origin because all the great halves were in Qld - Thurston, Cronk, DCE etc and NSW was left with Pearce of crap for years. Hodko had next to no vision, could barely run, hardly ever threatened the opposition or put players through holes. All he did was kick on the last tackle and kick goals/field goals. Take Hayne out of NSW and they lose that series that Hodko played in.Doesn't mean he wasn't talking and directing plays... Hasler liked his forwards to dictate play also.

Qld doesn’t win many series without Smith, but they did. Tough school here when we can bag rep players, Hokko was the best available NSW half who scored the series winning try you can’t take that away from him. SOO like no other is a 17 man game without Trent making many 1 on 1 tackles those whom played outside him might of been exposed. Just need to give credit where credit is due.Hodko only played origin because all the great halves were in Qld - Thurston, Cronk, DCE etc and NSW was left with Pearce of crap for years.
