Message: [QUOTE="Super Freak, post: 2706729, member: 8536"] [b]Re: Grand Final - Broncos vs Cowboys[/b] [B]JORDAN Kahu is adamant he can perform at right centre if Justin Hodges’ fairytale is cruelly denied.[/B] New father Kahu said he was desperate for Hodges to beat the dangerous-throw charge at tonight’s judiciary hearing in Sydney. However, he was confident in his ability if Wayne Bennett called upon him to move one position in from the wing. “If he doesn’t get off and he is suspended, I will put my hand up,” Kahu told [I]The Courier-Mail[/I]. “I don’t want him to get suspended. I want our captain in the grand final. I’m not planning for it. “I am comfortable at centre. It is not anything foreign to me so I think I can do a job there.” Kahu played six times at centre this season and the Broncos won all six. Hodges will use Roosters backrower Aidan Guerra, who he is alleged to have tackled past the horizontal, as a witness at his judiciary hearing at Moore Park tonight in a hope of beating a grade one charge. The Broncos do need a back-up plan though and a right-flank combination of Kahu and Lachlan Maranta appears to be how coach Bennett will go. Outside back Dale Copley is the other option as he can play centre or wing. The last game Copley and Maranta played was for Norths Devils in their loss to Tweed Heads in Round 26 of the Intrust Super Cup. That means their grand final preparation for North Queensland would be a month without playing rugby league. Kahu said he became emotional following Brisbane’s triumph over the Sydney Roosters, partly because he thought it would give Hodges a chance to chase his dream ending. Kahu’s partner, Jess Kent, gave birth to their first daughter last week, meaning this could become the greatest month of his life. “It hit me pretty big with a minute or two to go against the Roosters, when I knew we had won. I was pretty emotional,” Kahu said. “Playing outside Hodgo meant I was so happy for him and so happy that this team could do this for him even though he’s told them not to do it for him.” The Broncos will name Hodges at right centre and they will train Tuesday afternoon and hold a public fan session without him. Their backline during the session will likely be their backline on grand final day.
