Some of you will know who he is, Trent Hodkinoson was a parra junior he played in the harold matts, sg ball sides. Since has gone to Manly and will be playing first grade for them this year according to a guy at my work who supports manly (dickhead).
I remember watching him play in i think it was the sg ball grand final a couple of years ago i think 2007, then the brought him on in the next game which was the reserver grade grand final and he was awesome and i assumed he would play first grade for parramatta in a few years.
I always new that every one rated Kris Keating as our gun junior for years but when i watched both play i always thought that Trent was better and it sucks they let him go imo.
I just hope this isnt another occasion were we watched some gun parra junior kill it for some other team, and we sit here and wonder why would they let him go? Maybe not tho, if he was better than Kris Keating in theory he would still be here i guess.
Yea but he is also my pick for a cheap halve in NRL dream team who may go good this year he was like 80k let me know what you think also if your in throw up your team maybe i can steal some good ideas...

Obviously this is what the talent scouts at Parra saw also because they chose to keep KK and Morts ahead of him. I do think you have a good buy for your team though mate :) I have him in my squad also.
