Hodkinson returns to Manly

[Midnight Rambler]

This year @ 82% not consistent enough for you ?

Dude...forget his percentage. DCE ain’t no natural kicker. Imo he’s bloody awful...Hoddo takes the kicking duties all day. 82% & he looks like he’s about to lay an egg.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Ironic...Hodko (potentially) returning to support the player who replaced him, when Trentko departed these shores for the blue and white climes of the Canterbury-Bankstown district.

What goes around, comes around.

I dont disagree with that. Hokko takes the job all day, every day.
I was pointing out that 82% says that DCE is not inconsistent this year.

Before we talk percentages we need an analysis of where the kicks were from.

Carney will never be the player he was. Next to useless in SL. Move on

Hodgko will be a good signing for 18 months. If the deal is any longer than 2019, No thanks. Carney please.

Why forget the %? He kicks at a higher success rate than Hodkinson. I don’t care whether he looks like a duck taking a dump if it goes over it still counts.

I’d rather an ugly looking 82% than a pretty looking 77%. If he comes we have options in this department for the first time in ages.

I actually thought Walker was pretty good at 6 last night, but I suppose Hodko's kicking game would be a real boost.

I thought the same too, Walker's speed is making runs look like half breaks and half breaks look threatening. He makes the play look urgent at times. It's just when the move breaks down and he starts running to all points of the compass I get concerned. But, winners are grinners.

Talking about the 2 sitters that were close to in front of the posts that DCE has missed in the last 2 games.
Hodkinson doesnt miss the easy ones.

I understand he kicks from the football field Ralphie

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

So I’m guessing we expect an announcement on this tomorrow??

Or maybe

PS: sorry had to get that in there!!

Good guy and of his knees stay together he will steely

id play him next
Week vs the scum.

Solid player great foil for Daly. Just hope he’s knees hold up

A massive step up from poor old croker

Hodko can go to hooker when Api gets tired.
T Wright can then play 5/8th for 15 - 20 mins if he is off the bench.

I reckon youd be better off sticking dylan into 5/8. giving api a spell. hodko to hooker and tom wright into the centres.

That would work as well. Whatever it takes to get Wright quality game time to see if his potential can be reality.

Dylan needs to go back to the centres asap.

I thought Dylan has been great in the 6 this time around.

Me too. I wonder if it is just his confidence. Croker (who I still think will go ok) seems to be tentative and doesn't want to stuff up the team's chances, whereas Walker just goes whatever...I'm going to run like a nut case and see what happens. One of his kicks went well out (7 tackle re-start)... so I dunno.

I would like Dylan back into the centres... but he seemed more confident than crokes last night.

 

[wombatgc]

I think he has been better, but I cringe when I see him crabbing across field. He is such an explosive hole runner. Be good to see if Hodgko can get a good combo going with him.

 

[Deleted member 26876]

I think his time back in the six has improved Walker's defence. And he'll carry that through to playing in the centres. Brian Kelly or Suli to wing and Marty Wright out of fighting it out for utility spot with Tommy Wright (who we need to see a little more of)
