Hodges was an assistant coach at the
Titans under previous head coach
Garth Brennan. He was an assistant coach to
Paul Green at Wynnum Manly. Hodges recorded back-to-back 2011-12
Queensland Cup titles with the
Wynnum Manly Seagulls. Hodges then coached the
Norths Devils, before taking charge of the
Brisbane Broncos under 20s side between 2013 and 2016. In Round 20 of the
2019 NRL season, the Gold Coast suffered their second heaviest defeat as a club losing 58–6 to the
Sydney Roosters at the
Sydney Cricket Ground. Hodges described the loss by saying “The fear is that it is the habit they allow...that becomes acceptable for them individually whether they stay here or whether they move on to other places, And if that’s what they take out of this season, if that’s their legacy moving forward from this season, I think that’s a terrible tragedy". In Round 22 of the
2019 NRL season against the
Parramatta Eels, the Gold Coast lost the match 36–12 at
Cbus Super Stadium which all but confirmed that the club would finish last and claim the wooden spoon with just 3 games remaining. The Gold Coast were officially handed the wooden spoon the following week as they lost 24–8 against Melbourne at
AAMI Park. The wooden spoon capped off a bad year for sport on the Gold Coast as the other team representing the region, the
Gold Coast Suns finished last in the
AFL. In 2021, Hodges joined the
New Zealand Warriors as an assistant coach. After Peter O’Sullivan, the recruitment manager for the club, left to join the newly formed
Dolphins (NRL), Hodges was promoted to General Manager of Football for the Warriors in November 2021. ==References==
