Despite the myriad of injuries his body has suffered, Hodges is determined to win another NRL premiership and then head overseas to win a Super league title. The Cairns-born centre is one of rugby league’s most endearing personalities and is expected to be named Brisbane’s sole captain in coming weeks. Broncos coach Wayne Bennett told The Courier-Mail that Hodges was “right in the mix” to be captain and was amazed at his transformation into a leader. Hodges is 33 in May and is contracted to Brisbane until the end of next year. He will likely move to the United Kingdom for the 2017 season but said he was so determined to win another premiership at Brisbane he may re-sign. Hodges would be at least 35 by the time he moved to England and a two year deal would see him playing until he was 37. That would be a remarkable effort considering he debuted in the 2000 season. Asked if he had considered a stint in Super League, Hodges said he dreamed of finishing his career in the United Kingdom. “My dream has always been to go over there and win a comp there. That is something I have always thought about,” he said. “I have another two years left here. If we win a comp between then I would love to go over there and have a run. “We haven’t won a comp at our club in a long time. As you get older that is what drives you. “We haven’t won one in eight years. [/QUOTE]
