The Raiders play their best football when their dynamic hooker Josh Hodgson is firing. During the excellent 2016 run the Raiders enjoyed, Hodgson was nearly unstoppable and nearly beat Cameron Smith for the Dally M hooker award.

Hodgsonโ€™s ability to give Canberra direction and to provide an x-factor on the field is vital. If the Raiders wish to return to the finals in 2018, they will need Hodgson to play at his best and lead the team.

Unfortunately, Hodgson is set to miss the first half of the season as he recovers from an ACL injury suffered during the World Cup. Watch them become a different team when he does return to the field.
