I must admit I wasn't hugely excited by the re-signing at first, however the more I think about it the more I think it is a very good bit of business and I'm pleased he is back.
We now have 5 of our 6 D back from last year which will hopefully means the familiarity in the pairings and with how Bowns plays will allow us to hit the ground running.
When judging a player I always think would I like to see that player on an opposition side - the answer with Hendrix is definitely not! He is very good at what his role on the team is a tough, stay at home D man who does the simple things well and puts opposition forwards off their game with his physicality.
Hendrix is tough, very tough and not afraid to stand up to anyone in our league. Him and Batchy really are a nasty partnership and that allows the rest of the team to play in a way that they know their back is always covered.
If its true and he was playing injured in the 2nd half of the season then that tells you a lot about the man and his commitment to the team. Yes, his game may have fallen off a little bit as a result of being injured but he could have taken the easy option and sat out for a few weeks but didn't.
Welcome back Hendo, pleased you are a Devil again.
