Josh Hodgson will know his fate for 2023 after seeing a specialist. From there Parramatta will either move forward with Hodgson/Hands combo again or go for a back-up elsewhere. Joey Lussick is the name mentioned, but if they cannot convince him to leave (Plus St. Helens i bet would want a transfer fee) i hear they are also looking at Jake Simpkin from Wests who is free to leave despite being contracted til 2024.
Either way honestly, Lussick or Simpkin are better options than Hodgson. Lussick though should have been signed for a two-year deal as oppose to a one-year deal. Obviously thought he would not get full-time minutes at Parramatta with Mahoney there, but then if we had him on a two-year deal for 2022 also we could have signed him further to take over from 2023, he would have been already at the club.
Also, August 3 is the deadline for clubs to finalise their rosters, so overall i think that is a dreadful time slot in general for the NRL to have, but we can benefit from it. Lussick could only be for the remainder of the year, Simpkin could be this year and next year while MA develops also as the possible 3rd hooker.

Sorry Grunta, didn't realise you still were on this site. Sorry i am not perfect and up to your journalistic standards, like your game day blogs that are purely based around comments. There way worse blogs being posted here, yet you comment on mine? Granted you have not in a while but you used to, never have i received a positive comment or even one to continue the discussion. I can take negative comments, Poppa has given me plenty, though he does offer constructive feedback that i can take on board to improve later on.
If you do not like it well bad luck, cannot please everyone. Leave it to the club, am i demanding them to do something they are not doing? Compared to plenty of other suggestions people on here mention that are not great yet you comment on this one? Really?
Just do not read if you do not like it, i do that a fair bit here. Only comment when i can offer insight into a discussion, if there is no interest from me i do not comment. Doesn't hurt.
I do not want to sound like a prick or anything but dude you have commented like this to me in the past quite a bit, yet i hardly see you comment anywhere else, makes me feel like there is an agenda you have. If it is not the case i apologise for the accusation, but if there is then get a grip as it's pathetic.
I mean it's Eel related. So where's the harm in talking about it?
Honestly I do not think it's what is written more so who wrote it Byron.
As in you or whoever wrote the article?
Myself Byron.
Ahh. Okay then.
You just broke every sport fan forum on the internet.
What do you mean Nitram?
Your post is why us fans come to forums like this. Grunta just shut it down seemingly missing the whole point of fan forums.
Get a life mate!@
