'man of steel' indicates the player with the most steel... And to say hodgson has more steel than graham or Morley is inncorrect in my opinion.

I wouldn't say there was any difference in hardness between Hodgson and those two.
When he was in the NRL he was always getting the tag "toughest player in league", I can remember that being said on stuff like the Footy Show for years, Benji Marshall said it when Hodgson left the Tigers. Before he came to England if someone had said to me who is Brett Hodgson, the first phrase that would come to mind was toughest player in the NRL....
