If we keep Canberra scoreless...

[Headless Chook]

Milford has big wraps on him & is playing fullback in the NYC, he scored 2 tries last week.

Hodge is an unkown (to me).

Jarrod Croker is playing his 100th game.

Hodge is quick but a bit suspect in defence, I would expect that he would move to the wing with either Earl or Lee coming in to the centres.

[Waylander]

Earl is also in doubt. They may have to play both Milford & Hodge, with Milford in the centres and Hodge on the right wing.

Milford is a Ben Barba type player, great with ball in hand but can be very suspect in defense, he has been playing in the centres in NYC recently, surely the Raiders wouldn't be stupid enough to blood him in the centres, SBW/Guerra/Cordner would have a field day running at him all day.

Actually , not really, not within the last 10 years at least.

There have been some players who are highly thought of at a young age come through their ranks, but none have really kicked on to bigger and better things.

If you look at the top 50 players in our game, no more than one or two canberra juniors would feature. One was Dugan who has had questionable form over the last few years and the other is Carney, who falls in the same category as Dugan. Fergurson is not a canberra junior, neither is shillington.

Hayden Hodge is from my area and played all his junior footy here before going to the Raiders.
He is a solid player who won't let them down but I don't think he gives us anything to worry about really, especially if our defence continues in the same fashion!
I agree with previous posts that if he does play it will more than likely be on the wing rather than in the centres. I think the wing suits his game better considering it would be his NRL debut.
