Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2468849, member: 8215"] I met him once and he's pretty overawed with public attention. I think you'll find he's just uncomfortable. On the Hodges-to-fullback debate, I can understand people questioning his ability to handle the position at his age, but I reckon it will actually suit him. He already makes 12 - 16 runs a game, and he already goes looking for work further in, taking the hard yards in the middle so the forwards can rest. And even though he'll require more aerobic fitness and cover more ground while roaming around in both defence and attack, that wouldn't be a problem. Fitness is not an issue, in face it would be preferable to the constant up & back of the defensive line. Every short, sharp change of direction would be wearing on his back and legs, whereas the smoother, cruising movements at fullback would be a dream for him. For me, having Hodges returning the ball from kicks, routinely breaking the first and second tackle, would be worth it. [/QUOTE]
