  Does the coach know how to use the bench?

    It is so obvious BA has NFI how to use his bench. Even I could see Hodgson starting to fall off tackles and then he left him out there for another 10mins. Did that cost us 1 or 2 tries ffs?

      Even after 15 mins he was dropping off tackles and slowing our attack

  He needs to retire. WTF were the dopes in our recruitment team thinking?

    Its a typical hindsight comment EE, the fact is that the Hodgson play has failed, we gave it a go, he seems to have recovered from his ACL injury and that really was the risk, The risk we did not forsee was that he would not measure up.

    Plenty of those decisions happen and its just a case of moving on, the vindictiveness in your voice implies you know better, I have seen no evidence of that since I have been on here.

    Good luck with your normal response, but your water of a ducks back.

      Pops good call on your prediction, they gave us a touch up.

      I said it was a bad signing pops, it was pretty obvious that it was an insane signing, especially after still going through with the signing after he was injured for the season last year.

        I personally thought it was worth a crack but he's no good. He needs a full knee replacement post retirement and he's just not mobile enough.

        The upshot as pops says is he seems to have mentored Hands through nicely and he looks very good to me. A more effective defender than Mahoney and clever around the ruck

        I've been saying since we signed him that it was a bad signing and copped abuse left, right and centre for saying it.

        Thankfully Hands has stepped up but I bet our super coach continues to pick Hodgson either as a starter or on the bench.

        Not that it really matters as our backs are mostly crap and the loss of RCG is huge so we be fucked.
