There was definitely tension. Hodgo said he had told RWA that he definitely wanted to stay and that negotiations had been going ok but then had stopped and he didn't know why or what had changed. He was clearly very unimpressed about the way things were being handled by RWA.
Sinderberry is a very shrewd and wily businessman and that showed very much last night. No emotion in any of his decision-making - just cold, hard business thinking. Which is, of course, what his jdf requires.

Not from Sinders. There was a question from the floor about what was happening in relation to the 13 players who are off contract this season, and specific reference made to Hodgo as an example. Hodgo responded very candidly to that question, saying the things I mentioned above.

Sounds like standard practice at boarding school. Move on nothing to see
I too was there on Friday at the captains run and I think both Mark and Matt intimated that they want to get a deal done to keep Matt at the Force.
Like any employee / employer contract negotiation it is not for us to be privy to or comment on and their privacy should be respected at this point in time.
Hopefully they will come to a resolution that suits all parties and we can see Hodgo continue being the core and the guts of the team.
These negotiations are hard enough without outside influences having their say.
I thank both Mark and Matt for not shying away from the question and at least acknowledged that difficult negotiations are taking place.
