edit

In early 2004, Hodges broke up with his long-time girlfriend and was given two weeks sympathy leave from theSydney Roosters.[19]Hodges caused further disruption to the Roosters when he missed a training session and club functions to spend time with his friends and family. After Hodges played in Game 1 of the2004 State of Origin seriesin the Maroons 9–8 loss atANZ Stadium,[20]Roosters coachRicky Stuartput Hodges into the lower grade premier league.[21][22]Hodges however, made it back into the first grade Roosters team in round 12, scoring ahat-trickagainst theNew Zealand Warriorsin the Roosters 58–6 win atANZ Stadium.[23]In the following week in round 13, Hodges was sent off for a high shot onCanterbury-Bankstown Bulldogsplayer and Queensland teammateSteve Pricein the Roosters 40–12 loss atANZ Stadium.[24]Hodges was subsequently suspended for 6 weeks.

2005

edit

After the feud between coach Bennett and Hodges earlier in 2001, some critics felt that Hodges would not be able to fit well into the Broncos team. But during an off season camp, Hodges and Bennett sorted things out and all Hodges wanted to do was play rugby league. Hodges stated that he did not regret going to Sydney, but felt it was time to go home back to Brisbane.[26]Former Brisbane Broncos captain Gorden Tallis backed Hodges return to the Broncos, despite some fans questioning the merits in which Hodges returned.[27]Hodges's return caused a problem for the Broncos. They now had three centres, while only two could play in that position. Hodges,Shaun BerriganandBrent Tatewere left to contend for the two centre positions. For the early rounds of 2005, Hodges was forced to play on the wing, with Tate and Berrigan in the centres. Hodges had his Broncos return match in round 1 against theNorth Queensland Cowboyson the wing in the Broncos 29–16 win atSuncorp Stadium.[28]In round 3 against his former club the Sydney Roosters at SFS, Hodges scored his first try as a Bronco again in the 40–22 win.[29]In Round 7 against theCronulla-Sutherland SharksatRemondis Stadium,Brent Tate suffered a shoulder injury allowing Hodges to play in his preferred position of centre in the Broncos' 16–12 win.[30]In Round 24 against thePenrith Panthers,Hodges suffered ligament damage in his right knee during the Broncos 22–20 loss atPenrith Stadium.[31]Hodges later returned for the Broncos in their last match against theWests Tigersat SFS in the Broncos 34-6 semi-finals loss.[32]The Broncos were knocked out of the finals, after losing seven straight matches. Hodges played in 19 matches and scored 11 tries his return year with the Broncos in the2005 NRL season.

However injury plagued him over the next 10 rounds, only playing one game for the Broncos in those rounds. Despite this, Hodges was selected to play for Queensland in the first two games of their2006 State of Origin serieswin, the first of what would become a record consecutive run. In the second game he intercepted a NSW pass and ran 85 metres to score a try in the 30–6 win atSuncorp Stadium.[33]However, injury sidelined him for over 3 weeks including the 3rd State of Origin match, before he made his return against theNorth Queensland Cowboys,a game that the Broncos lost 26–10 at1300SMILES Stadium.[34]The Broncos form continued to slide, until coachWayne Bennettmoved Hodges from the centres tofullback,in place of injured teammateKarmichael Hunt.The team cast off their slump and made it into the2006 NRL Grand Final,Hodges' third in five seasons.
