No they are both older, would both be 21y.o this year I think.
Neither initially had the huge wraps that some of our other young players get, but both have steadily improved, become very reliable players and in Hodges case is now showing he’s a player that can make regular line breaks and score tries whether he’s playing lock or hooker.
Neither of them are very big, but both are quick over a short distance and play with plenty of heart and desire.
I think BlackWhiteGold is right with Hodges being the one most likely to be given a development contract with us for 2025.
Belllend I assume you are talking about Zak Clarke ?
He’s another who I believe is, or will be turning 21 this year.
He definately has x-factor a big bodied and very mobile back rower. His attack is great, if he can tighten up and improve his defence he will be NRL quality for sure.
It seems the club favours Lachlan Broederlow over him at this stage as he appears to have a more reliable all round game, but he cannot bust tackles with ease like Clarke does.
