Why does anyone still take any notice of what that guy posts?

There's all sorts of options we could go for but ultimately the vast majority are a gamble aren't they. Young or old, first grader or up and comer, you aren't going to get any guarantees of success if you're not buying Thurston, Cronk etc.

If Hodkinson is a steady Eddie type who'll keep things simple, make minimal errors and has a kicking game then for me he's ideal! We have flashy players at fullback, at stand off and across the backline but we miss the glue to hold it together. Smith wasn't that man, nor is Leuluai (although he'd still be a top hooker) and Shorrocks is being held back by injuries. We need a Paul Deacon style player for me.

Warrington hope that Hodkinson will take Gidleys place strong rumours

Yeah saw that earlier on some website or other. They'll certainly be in for a halfback (along with numerous other players you'd think) and it seems like he's available. They were also linked with Ben Reynolds.

It's been a weird old season for them.

I watched Hodkinson tonight against Wests. He had a poor game (like most of his side), but, to be fair, I guess he hasn't played much first-grade lately.

During the Titans game, they said Warrington were looking at Tyrone Roberts to replace Gidley. If they want Hodkinson we could have Roberts.

Ben Reynolds is 35 or so, so he’s young enough for Warrington.

Not as well as Pat's replacement

It's the Leigh Ben Reynolds they were linked with mate. He's only 24 so probably too young for Smith. He had a cracking game against Wigan a few weeks back and kicked goals from all over the place.
