Message: [QUOTE="1910, post: 2993061, member: 8272"] Hodges at fullback is interesting from his perspective and a coaching angle too. Hunt broke his foot against the Dragons in the two point loss in round 15, He didn't come back until round 25 against the Eels. Hodges missed two weeks as well injured and came back against the Cowboys in round 20 wasn't named at fullback but played there. Round 23 was his big game- record 346m. It was the Dragons finals loss that was interesting and the win against the Dogs. Brown and the Dragons did a great job on Hodges in the finals and nullified him with a terrific kicking game and bombing him and making it hard to get out of the right hand corner which Hodges hated. Then against the Knights, Hodges played left wing in defence with Berrigan at centre and Hodges moved to left centre in attack when Berrigan went to hooker Hunt played fullback in the big win. Stagg played left wing in attack and left second row in defence so he didn't have to field kicks. He went to fullback against the Dogs at half time and had an immediate impact in the second half and in the Grand Final he was at fullback in attack, try off Lockyer, 10 tackle breaks and two line breaks. That 10 weeks or so was great coaching and adapting to what the other side is doing, the Dragons did a massive favour winning that finals game. But a plan with so many moving parts and it coming off is interesting. Not too sure too many teams would do that anymore. [/QUOTE]
