Hodges is too dumb to play fullback.
Centre is his position but h needs to refocus. He is a bit like Andrew Symonds at the moment.
Maybe they are both past the need to prove themselves, so it could be a continued decline for them both.
Hunt is the obvious fullback, simple because he has some ball playing ability at 2nd receiver - the modern role of the fullback.
Hodges has nil in this regard.
A smart operator might play Hodges at full back in defence when there will be a clearance kick on the last. In all attacking plays inside the oppposition half, Hunt should be at fullback ( a second second receiver ).
I remember the much maligned Strapping Big lad ( whatever happened to that guy?) used to carry on years ago about how positions are no longer relevant. The dinosaurs on the forum at the time weren't on his wavelength and didn't understandwhat he was on about. - I noticed Gus Gould picked up on this a couple of weeks back.
Hodges has his position depending on field position and so does Hunt.

I recon ur right nashy. Have been watching him and he looks excited. he was very upbeat about all the tries against the chooks last night.
Pity he's not so up beat when a player makes a break. He's pathetic in those situations. Nobody expects him to sit them on their arse, but get a hold of them, slow them down enough for cover to help. His miss on myth last night was one of the most pathetic attempts at tackle i've seen in all my time watching league.

Lol.
Seemed to do alright the few games before last night in those situations.
You can't expect him to be a hinderance to the attacking player 100% of the time.

Haha ok.
Yes, Hunt is not playing in the best form of his life so there is definitely something wrong with him.
Save him Dr. Zaius!!!!
Nah, but it's little things where you can tell someone's not on their game - and positional play in defence, and the way a fullback approaches those break situations is a good indicator. He's been really poor in both departments most of this season.
