666 - Number of the Beast

If only we had him and Aaron Moule at the same time, imagine how many comps we could have won.

I do take this as a non serious post but your clever humour is so subtle and sometimes it is really hard to tell .

How about Tasesa Lavea, he even came through the Melbourne system, so all good there

Claim to fame drunken brawl corso

So if our back ended deals are this year and we still have 850k in this years cap to play with I dare say we will have a war chest next year to bring in some real big names in 2019. I'll be happy to to see Hodko here on a 1 year deal

For all those criticizing Hodkinson......remember he played pretty well when here & when he moved to the Dogs for the first year or so. The Dogs team started to dwindle in quality & he left for the Knights. He played behind an inferior pack & wasn't able to carry the team, hence his form dropped. How the hell can you bag this guy when he's played behind beaten packs???? We could do worse!

 

[Eagles2nv]

Oh no not bubbler boy heeeell no!

Gutherson wont leave eels they have a solid team now better than most

Moses, Norman and Hayne to assume the 1 6 and 7. French will likely get the wing.

With alll his time on the sideline he could find himself on the outer.

2 knee reco's concern me. He was doing really wel before that second knee injury.

I wanted hodgo about 3 years ago because he would be good along side dce. He would direct the forwards, can tackle well, goal kick, has a cool head and a lot of experience. Newcastle would pay more than half of his salary.

A one year deal would be ideal in case hastings doesn't work out.

Would trent be any worse than green? Would do the exact same job. Definitely not any slower and probably a better defender and can kick and has experience guiding a side. Probably perfect for dce.

One year deal i would be happy and still have heaps of funds for buying star off contract players next year. Win win

4 years past his best and physically busted. Reserve grader in a wooden spoon team. Put someone else on an incentive bonus.

Yeah maybe i prefer to lamb.

Lamb wont come on a one year deal. Would have to sign him longer term.

We could get hodgo cheap on a one year deal. Battle it out with hastings and still have funds for 2018 off contract star players. I think its a no brainer. We all thought uate was washed up, trent could get the best out of hodgo as well.

His game would compliment dce. He is pretty cool under pressure and steers a side well. Not flashy or dangerous with ball but we have dce. Good defender and great goal kicker. If we get him cheap and Newcastle pay half his salary or more. Why not?

Hodkinson is 29 years old. DCE and Pearce are 28. Hodkinson should really be at his peak, not past his best.

He’s an injury waiting to happen, that’s the issue.

BUT

If the Knights are paying 75% of his $750k contract AND it’s for one year.......maybe

Agree. If Manly only pay $200k on a one year deal it’s worth the risk IMO.

Why go with someone who is busted up.. Todd Carney should be the way forward if we are looking for experience on a short term deal. He apparently gave up a 1.4 million dollar offer to play in the superleague for hull just to play in the qld cup in the off chance that he may play in the nrl again. He's on $100k. So he's not motivated by money and he will have a point to prove. Redemption.. I really think we should go for him. He still has a lot to offer and a much better replacement for green than hodko or lamb would ever be.

Carney could be a possibility but he is also a risk after stuffing up many second chances. Another minus for Carney is he has not played NRL level for three years.

I really hope we get Gutho back, I hated that he left

 

[Deleted member 24974]

You forgot Corey Norman. He would be my pick.

 

[The '47ers]

T-Rex I'm sticking with

Gutho is an eel
Accept it
