3. Josh Hodgson

As well as the Raiders played in 2020, losing their superstar number nine before the halfway mark of the season undoubtedly hurt them. Hodgson is a genius footballer who can do it all.

He started the season on fire for the Green Machine, laying off four try assists in eight and a bit games. He had two forced drop outs, just under 95 kicking meters per game and a mountain of tackles.

Hopefully for the Raiders he's completely fit and ready to go by round one. You re-add a fully fit Josh Hodgson to that Raiders outfit and watch out.

  2. Cam McInnes makes the NSW side as reserve to Cook and kept Reece Robson in reserve grade and he misses the top 10? Your eyes mustn’t work!

  3. Yeah theres no way in the world you can pick Reece Robson on suspicion. Sorry thats ridiculous. McInnes is very good. Robson is not even in his orbit right now.
