Sorry if this has already been a topic but..............

Since hearing that we have sind Hodgson I cant hold back any longer. I think his days have long gone and like Hudds last year has had his best season in Superleague. Give me Mathers any day.I know he has made a few misstakes but how many games through try savers and enthusiasm to the team has he won? Watched Hodgson last night and noticed he missed/droped off alot of tackles.So why we signing him?For a kicker?We have a wide selection in that area?Experiance?Speed?reading of the game?Lack of misstakes?The buzzing enthusiasm he brings on the pitch?Or just salary cap reasons?Whatever it is and Tony Smith will know and 'IN SMITH WE TRUST' so is it just me or does anyone else have massive doubts over a Hodgson who I think is 31 and looking like a player who isnt giving his all at Hudds or Mathers at 26 who despite not being at Wire next year has and still is showing commitment to the cause........

Maybe you should watch Hudds game against Hull FC last week where Hodgson was man of the match helping them win from 18 nil down

Did you miss that sideline kick in the last second? I'll admit, he is going through a bad patch where his form isn't what it was last season but I'm confident he'll come through next season.

Are you sure you watched that match last night. Didn't make one mistake and saved about six tries.

Hodgson for me. Defence is good, links in well in the line creating trys, his general kicking game is good & he can kick goals as witnessed by his last second kivk from the touchline to tie the game

True but, (and we could tit for tat all day)I also remember his terrible performance against us in the cup last month.Its all swings and roundabouts but 1 game good or bad doesnt answer my question

One good game? He won MOS last year.

Got to say Hodgson but I will miss Mathers team spirit - that's a big plus but doesn't quite make up for the areas where Hodgson is better.

I'm just saying, his sideline kick alone was enough to convince me. How many of our current squad would you back to make a similar kick?

This is the kind of answer I was looking for but (devils advocat) havent we got atleast 3 players who could and have done all the above kicking wise,Bridge's kicks in the cup last year against HKR ......... just stiring it a bit more lol

It is a moot point. Mathers is leaving, Hodgson is arriving.

I'd back any of our kickers but there success rate would be around 4/10 where as hodgson would be 8/10
