Either way he wasn't going to play for the Broncos if he wasn't injured in those 2-3 weeks due to origin, so whatever. On the other hand, his injury prone body however is becoming a bit of a joke. He is such a good player, but as a club it just is not feasible to always have him injured. I'm happy he extended his contract, but it should have been for much less then the reported $1 mill over 3 years. Hodges should be showing the club loyalty for sticking by him through all these injuries, not the Broncos showing him further loyalty by giving him $330k + a year to play <10-15 games a year if lucky. I say Hodges is also at fault for costing us that game last night. We played atrocious in the second half, but it could have been different if we did not have to move players around to due to his injury. We played hopeless also in the first half but we had two lucky tries towards the end of the half and coming into a second half 12-10 down is not that bad a predicament. But as we all saw, Norman is a hopeless fullback, and Beale and co got exposed due to positional switches. I'm not saying it was entirely his fault, but his injury had a effect on it, not just positionally but also psychologically - you can just imagine how the players feel; I for one would be livid at how often he gets injured (not that it's his own fault or anything) but it would be frustrating.
