New 2 year deal with 3rd year option. Well deserved in my opinion.

Well deserved, he is making steady progress and looks every inch a SL hooker.

Yep, pleased with that.

Echo all that.

I also concur.., with a few tweaks here and there could be a top player for us, no disrespect to Fish who has been a magnificent servant and is currently still the no 1 hooker at the club, but if Hodgson had someone like Buderus or Monaghan to learn from he would have future international stamped all over him...not sure there is anyone at Rovers to get the absolute most out of him....JMs speciality is certainly not the hooking role....

Billy Mallinson knows a bit about hooking..

He got compared to Danny Buderus on saturday by Brian Carney

Making a comparison between a young, promising hooker and an old, great, hardly unheard of is it.

Thought hodgi had a good game tonight even tho we lost

id like to see him go from dummy half more, but hes coming along well,
