Justin Hodges insists he is not the latest State of Origin star to come under a fitness cloud for the series.
                                           Hodges threw a remarkable between-the-legs pass for winger  Dale Copley to score a crucial try in the 22-8 win over Gold Coast at  Suncorp Stadium but was unable to finish the game due to a twisted  ankle.
           The 31-year-old, dogged by Achilles injuries in recent  series, admits he panicked at first but insisted he would be fit for the  interstate series opener on May 28.
                        “I rolled it a bit,” Hodges said.
           “It’s not too bad. It’s starting to free up now.  There’s  always a fright when you come back from a major injury and it gets a  little bit sore.
           “I just came off to have a rest.
           “I think I’ll be fine. It was just precautionary coming off.  There were about 10 minutes to go so I just wanted to come off and have a  rest, just got a bit lazy.”
           Discussing his tunnel-ball pass to Copley in the 57[SUP]th[/SUP] minute, he said: “I just noticed they were all crowding around the play-the-ball
           “I just looked at Dale and gave him a little bit of a finger and luckily he caught it. It was a bit low, but…
           “It was just spur of the moment. I knew if I faced that way, they’d put a defender there.”
