Trent Hodkinson went under the radar in the NRL a bit after debuting with the Sea Eagles in 2010. However, after signing with the Bulldogs in 2011, Hodkinson proved himself worthy of possibly becoming one of the best rugby league players of his generation after leading the Bulldogs along with Josh Reynolds to a grand final appearance in 2014, losing to the Rabbitohs.

He also arguably won the Blues their first State of Origin series in nine years scoring the Blues only try and kicking their only goal in their famous Game 2 victory that won them the series.

Hodkinson then went to the Knights in 2016, lost his NSW Blues position and was part of a Knights squad that finished last. In 2017, Hodkinson was dropped by Newcastle to their Intrust Super Cup side during the season and although making a return to the first team later in the year, the Knights once again finished last.
