Just thinking about Skando's recent form, you would have to look at it as a shame that he was let go for the past two seasons, doesn't look like he is past his best to me.
playing devil's advocate, would skando have been able to reach the form he had of had he not gone overseas?
the break away from the club he had essentially played his whole career at seemed to do him wonders.
he looks fitter then what he probably was back in 2000 when he touched down for the first try.

I for one didn't want to loose hodgo, his on field inspiration cannot be matched.
he and farah basically carried us in attack, even when he was running around with one bung knee.
hopefully when his stint over in england is up he'll come back into the fold as part of the coaching staff or as a runner/trainer ala geoff toovey for manly of alfie langer for broncos.
scott prince would also be up there as a big loss. until moltzen slipped into halfback this year we have not been able to replace him.
although it was his choice to leave. you could tell in the months leading up to him officially signing with the titans his mind wasn't on the job.
richards was a loss as well, but he made that choice well before the grandfinal.
it's only this year with tuiaki that we have been able to find an attacking weapon out wide that is as devistating if not more then pat richards was in 05.
