NONONONO

Friend is horrible, Kingston or Beau Falloon are better

Hodgkinson is ok but not that great too, dogs supporters call him SLOW

  Hodgkinson is the reason why the dogs CAN'T win the comp, terrible. Kevin Kingston is a must. Ricky Stuart is kidding himself if he's not looking at him, as he already knows there is not much left out there. 2 year deal, then we look again, for an upgrade on KK . But until then sign him up Ricky.

  Don't agree with u there hodkinson is a great player good kicking game solid in defence takes the line on and a fantastic goal kicker

I'd beg to differ. Hodkinson is in form at the moment.
When Kris Keating started this year the bulldogs won only 1/5 games
With Hodkinson they've won 7/9 games
He's also got a 32/34 or 92.1% conversion rate.
If anything, I think he's partially the reason why the bulldogs have started winning, not losing.

  I don't care if they are undefeated under him, just watch him when he plays, he does nothing, they are winning games now because they have all there fowards back , and at the beginning of the season they had more injuries than you could poke a stick at . If you call hodgkinson in-FORM, then we have different views of what in-form means.

  Come on Tj Styles, you know damn well the dogs were without Kasiano, Barba, Pritchard, and the pommy captain James Graham the whole time Kris Keating was playing half back instead of Hodkinson.
  
  Any half would be in great form with their current forward pack.

    Oh I never said the the dog's forward pack had nothing to do with whether they win or lose. I said Hodkinson "if anything, he's PARTIALLY the reason why the dogs have started winning games, not losing" in an attempt to prove that he isn't "the reason why the dogs CAN'T win the comp". To parra_is_the_ticket, how does Hodkinson do nothing? What about on Friday night when he set up 2 tries, scored 1 himself, and kicked the winning goal? Sure, he doesn't do that every game. But he's a player that does what he's supposed to do, which is more than what I can say for the majority of the current Eels squad.

      Hodkinson is a quality halfback in great form

  Great list mate, didn't think about the bottom 3. They've been in pretty good form, i'd love to see them here. If Blair could strike form, he would also be a good asset to the team.
