stop contradicting yourself...your happy to use OPTA stats to deride Hodgson....the same OPTA stats would suggest Leroy Rivett had a pretty good game in the challenge cup final...you can't have it both ways.



Hodgson's distribution in the attacking line, his positional play in defence and his goal kicking still make him a top full back in the UK....and I maintain that he makes Warrington a better team when he plays.

It would appear that there is a bit of competetion for this, so I ask, which clubs have a fullback who you'd rate as poor?

kearney has got to be in that list for me.



just goes to show where the Giants are lacking no one has mentioned grix as a top full back and have to agree really when compared to the full backs mentioned on here..we never replaced brett hodgson.

The Wellephant.

Mathers

Webb

Dorn

Is Grix really better than Greg Eden?

Not bad for Superleague, then. Wello & Webb were great players on their day (and it looks like Wello isn't first choice at saints anymore) and Dorn has certainly given some decent shows over the years.



So really, the standard of fullbacks in SL is pretty good?

I think it is pretty good.when compared to the nrl fullbacks though it would then look average but they have do have incredible depth in that position in particular.

Never a dull moment when he is playing thats for sure.



To be fair, when he plays well he looks very good, unfortunately he keeps having brain farts and costing us tries. I would say that for half of each game we get a talented, exciting player and for the other 40 minutes ..........................





If he plays on Saturday he is just as likely to score a hat trick of excellent tries as he is to cost us the game with phukupps, we just don't know which Eden will turn up.

Eden sums Rovers up perfectly, brilliant & shocking in equal measure. Every game's a toss of the coin.



Tomkins is in a league of his own in SL. Some promising / talented players elsewhere but no consistent standouts just yet & some proven quality slowing down with age. Take your pick.

both have qualities, grix is great under the high ball, organising the defence and backing up plays



but can have utterly awful days and often comes into the half back position and messes things up.



eden has the same awful days but great in attack... needs to learn, that why we have sent him off to hull kr to do his learning there

I don't see how Escare can be listed as he's only played a handful of SL matches. He shows great potential and ability, yes, but he hasn't played enough to be listed on this as he hasn't totally proved himself.



What I'm trying to say is that some players have one excellent season and look fantastic but then drop off and are poor during the next. I don't think he can be listed until he's had more time there and proven that he's the real deal.



My point is pretty similar to the point Jimlav has previously made about Lomax at fullback.
