HI Jools looking at it retrospectively and not decrying Broughys undoubted ability if Brett was supposedly on the slide with us, this supporter would have been delighted to have 12 more similar has beens in their relative positions who generallymaintained that consistency injury free
game to game and didnt appear to lose control/throw paddies/or bully his teammates when things just didnt happen on the day.
Then again when ive only one eye, youll have to take my opinion with a bit of inbuilt tolerance

Brett on the slide? 2009 Man of steel!

Which says heaps about our game ....

Hadn't he also come to us just a couple of seasons since his last SoO appearance and as player of the year at his old club??

Says a lot more about his game, I remember Mohamed Ali being supposedly past his best when he won the Heavyweight title for the 3 rd time, and i remember Bret going on to have a few good seasons with the Wolves after he became surplus to our requirements.

Brett Hodgson may have been the wrong side of 30, but was clearly at the peak of his game still. I'd also add Brad Drew and Brandon Costin to the mix for quality imports still giving us their A game. Also quality British players that stand out are Kev Brown, Luke Robinson and Brett Ferris (even if it did turn very very sour). Then there was Super Stanley Gene.

Kev, Luke and ferres were very good players for us- but didn’t come to us as players at the top of their game- we got their best years -esp ferres who was average at Cas/wakey and shocking at Leeds!

Didn`t Hodgson win West Tigers player of the year in his last year before coming over? I remember watching him play from around 05 to 08 and he just looked the same throughout, never looked to be on the decline, okay he was getting older but I still think he could have probably played another few years in the NRL at the level he was playing at.

Yes he could- but that’s not my original point.
Sezer could also easily play on in the NRL but my comment was in response to someone implying he wasn’t all that...

It’s certainly dragging on now. All our signings seem to do, except Gavet

I have yet to hear that the Giants have made any bid for Sezer it has all been paper talk or forum guessing as per usual.
