Its great to see pRickys still .

Its also great to see many havent recovered from his stint here.

The man polarises opinions. Its great to have him in your corner when you are in the trenches, he really has that ability to galvanise a sides belief. But he seems to only have that ability with a talented roster. As soon as the gameplan changes it appears pRicky becomes, well, a pRick.

So. Who else was available that would have been better than smith? Esp considering our well-documented problems of last year.

You're so right. Why can't i get excited about having a proven loser as our coach considering the problems of this year. LACK OF ABILITY of many of our players

Hodges was never the same since that injury.

2002 - 26 games, 11 tries, 19 linebreaks, average 11 runs for 92 metres, 17 errors

2003 - 11 games, 8 tries, 13 linebreaks, average 10 runs for 91 metres, 11 errors (injured in first State Of Origin, didn't play rest of season)

2004 - 21 games, 7 tries, 6 linebreaks, average 11 runs for 89 metres, 16 errors (missed Round 14-19 after being injured in the infamous Tonga drubbing)

Outstanding in 2002 and the start of 2003, was our best centre. In 2004, he was lazy, disinterested, only had one good game against the Warriors and the rest he was average to hopeless. Can't believe the attitude he showed in some games.
