Message: [QUOTE="mrslong, post: 2399956, member: 1973"] This was a good analysis I thought: [B]Hodges Hit:[/B]Brisbane centre Justin Hodges has been condemned in some circles of the media for a shot he laid on Dragons winger Brett Morris with the worst coming from Morris’ father “Slippery” Steve, who called Hodges a “grub” and the hit a “low act”. There is no doubt the shot was unsavoury. Morris lay prone on the ground while teammate Ben Creagh stood above him with his hand out as if to stop. But can Hodges really be called a grub for the act? I don’t think so. In an era when players like Issac Luke make it okay to lay down, players simply have to play to the whistle. Hodges did just that. If grubs like Luke get away with their gutlessness, stuff like this happens. How did Hodges know Morris wasn’t feigning? Hodges wasn’t going to be fooled by any chicanery. He made the tackle and then moved on. This is the rugby league world we now live in where it can’t automatically be assumed that you play by manly ideals and when you are down, you are legitimately hurt.
