Re: Foran & Hodkinson
Thought the young guys had a great game for only their 2nd game together, Foran definitely went well tonight.
Trent showed enough to let all know that he can handle it at this level too.
Lyon did very little kicking, and, our kicking game was not too bad, room for improvement though.
Both were absolutely huge in defence. More thanks to crusher and des for finding these 2, both of these guys are going to be champions IMO.

Re: Foran & Hodkinson
Its even better when you consider the cap money we save with Hodkinson compared to Ox. I would think that Hodkinson would be on about 1/3 of Ox's contract and would Ox be 3 times as good at this stage of his career. Just proves the coaching staff are on the ball with player release and retention. This may also be why Perry was offered a 2 year deal when he wanted 3 a way of moving him on without rocking the boat.Â

Re: Foran & Hodkinson
Give them both a bit more time to gel and everything will improve. Their defence is very good that's step 1 done, positioning on the field will be step 2 and the kicking step 3.
In other words they'll work on combinations and will probably sought out who's going to do the majority of kicking and which one takes control in certain situations etc. We have to be patient because although they've had a few good games there's going to be a few hiccups on the way.
I just hope we've found a long-term halves combination that will be there for years to come.

Re: Foran & Hodkinson
This has the makings of a much smoother halves partnership than we have had for a while. Does anyone recall the Ox/Monoghan combo with them getting in each others way.

Re: Foran & Hodkinson
gus gould was very upbeat about the combo in papers and on tele.i like TH's passing game.for the first time in a couple of years we have depth in our attack with passes from him and foran hitting chests.the only good thing about snakes injury is that it may speed up our young halves developing a combo.having said that to see snake on the end of a smooth backline would be scary.
warriors will be a good test after their win but they do have some injuries like us.porky was about to explode and we lose him.a real shame.

Re: Foran & Hodkinson
agreed. Having Snake in some of those movements would have defenses ****ting themselves.
That movement for Matai's try was great, it looks a bit like that we used to use where Brett came around the back, but instead this time we just went through the hands with every player drawing 1 - 2 players and getting outside of them.
Add Brett Stewart straightening up and coming through the line on that movement and it would be bloody hard to stop
