Is Brett Hodgson our best ever oversseas signing? : Mon Apr 13, 2009 7:54 pm  

Any thoughts sdo far? I know it is still very early, but he was outstanding again today.

come on now he's good but lets face it he aint Wally Gibson is he ?

Of recent years, and so far, he's definitely up there. Definitely got some work to go before he's another Drew, though.

Were you as gutted as us that Stan only made 18th man today?

As far as overseas fullbacks go he's got to be up there with Ivan Cleary.

Or Johnny Hunter, just after WWII, according to my dad.

Costin and Drew are probably my 2 Fartown heroes. They used to win us matches and inspire, and Hodgson is doing both those things. He's not been here all that long yet but if he keeps it up he's certainly going to rival them. He is outstanding, a good leader, and is probably the best fullback in the league.
