Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2670966, member: 1847"] I don't entirely agree with you. Underdone, yes. That was the mistake. At his best, he is simply excellent. For me the issue is that he will always be a risk but what do you do? Drop him, bench him, force him to retire? I somehow doubt that will happen. What do you do with a player as injury prone as Hodges? First, you DON'T play him at FB. Ever. End of story. Second, centre only. I think it was really poor judgement to select Hodgo for tonight's match wherever he played. We learned last year of the consequences of having a positional dog's breakfast on the park. I also thought Garbutt was very soft tonight. He was completely overshadowed by Thaiday,McGuire and Dodds. Glenn's loss is serious. I'd like to see Oates take his place. Hunt seemed to lose it when he was pressured. Step up Ben - you're better than that. Take charge. Lead. Marshall looked so much more composed and together. The Dragons took it to us big time and we just fell apart. Bad luck didn't help and neither did those crucial errors already posted. I think they took the wind out of our mental sails, and the loss of 2 key players just made us tired - mentally and physically. I'm actually not too worried by tonight. There was only 2 points in it and we played under a lot of adversity and against quality opposition. My main concern is Milford - more specifically, his mental state. I think he is finding it really really tough to adjust to the Broncos and 5/8, and I again say he is too immature to be our 5/8, let alone play with the pressure of being labelled the next Lockyer (like ... not having served his apprenticeship at the back). Still, as with Hodgo, what do you do? A rock and a hard place. I hope he comes good, like all of us, sooner than later. [/QUOTE]
