Captain Hodgson 2022 ?

Lol, walks into the job I'd say.

A true competitor, a man that will lead these boys around the park.

Wests Tigers in discussions to sign Josh Hodgson immediately.

Raiders have given him permission to negotiate for 2022. Tigers set to offer two year deal.

In the article is mentions this:
Recruitment manager Warren McDonnell, who once worked with Sheens at the Tigers, will also return despite parting ways with the club twice in the past few years.

It’s unclear what the arrival of Sheens and McDonnell means for head of football Adam Hartigan. The club is also on the lookout for two new assistant coaches after the departure of Shane Millard and Wayne Collins.

please not Warren McDonnell. get him as far away from the club as possible. he's hopeless.

Royce is probably coming back too as one of the assistants

Can he still bend down to place the hats or does he need an assistant as well

Thanks to @Cultured_Bogan and @willow for the early news.

Ahead of the curve on this one.
🔥

And for the doubters, try and think of the positives.
A real leader with a winning attitude.
Just what our young lads need.

I will never forget the kick on the run against Cronulla from around 50 out for a try

Hodgson would be a great signing if Raiders pay half his wage for 22 like we are for Mbye. Deal isn’t over the line yet though

 

[Lee's fedora]

Hodgson is captain round 1 simple as that leader of men a change of scenery will do him well and what better teachers could simpkin ask for a England international in Josh and Australian & lebanon international robbie farah

 

[GNR4LIFE]

If he signs, I’ll give him a chance, but I’m scratching my head where this sudden love affair with him is coming from. He’s the type of signing i thought we were moving on from.

 

[Lee's fedora]

Josh is on 700k at the moment i would say Canberra would chip in a fair chunk of it to ship him hopefully this is the start of what Canberra had when they signed a few English boys

2 years with a CO for a 3rd comes at no real detriment to the club. If he’s offered anything over 500 for each year then I’d be concerned. Before we would’ve taken the whole deal for 3 years

I just think we should invest in our juniors like simpkin and invest hard let blokes like liddle go to another club sure he may flourish under a new coach but long term success wise we benefit from keeping simpkin and bringing in talent like Hodgson and bringing up our young boys like simpkin like Rua and Scolari

I don't understand the hate for Liddle. Can anyone explain where this comes from? And not just "I reckon ".... facts please. I see a capable dummy half who has exploded clear for try's on several occasions and managed a reasonable pack to positive metreage on most occasions. Please explain any improvement you can see with the signing of another hooker. People on here were screaming for Simpkin to be given a go until he was given a go, We saw how that turned out.

 

[Snake]

We all have been crying out for some leadership .. the forwards are young and need a hard head and some leadership .. this is not ideal but a positive move yes to Hodgson!

Would be a great signing. Tough as nails and smart. Wouldn’t accept mediocrity.
