2. Brett Hodgson
With all due respect to the current squad, there doesn't seem to be a fullback who is absolutely screaming the house down to demand the number one jersey.
Brett Hodgson is one of the top ten players to pull on a Wests Tigers jersey. He simply does not attract the level of praise that his accomplishments and efforts warrant.
786 points for the club in his 102 appearances, including a pretty handy 38 tries, only shows partially why he was so important. He was always the one taking the big hits on kick returns and when fielding bombs.
He was the one putting his hand up to take the difficult hit ups. He was the one putting his body on the line with every touch of the footy.
A brilliant player, a club life member and one of the elite goal kickers. Hodgson had it all. He would improve the current side dramatically by once again wearing the number one.
