I thought TQ1 and Burgs did that last year?

I know someone definately did one last year

Sure sign of a disgruntled player...

I'm just waiting for the media sharks to come out with the story about how Hodgson only re-signed because the Western Force drugged him with Firepower mind control pills.

Apparently Hodgson had actually wanted to sign a $10 million 4 year deal with Bayonne.

I like Matt's comments in the article:

We've got a really good squad and we've got fantastic support here.

"I've been here since year one and we've obviously been improving as a side and are looking to take things to the next level and play in the finals.

"I think that's very much in our reach this season and if we can retain our squad and build on what we've achieved I can see a very bright future at the club.''

How does the Rugby Heaven websiite decide on the time frame for leaving their main headline article in place, over the years I have noticed that if it is bad news for the Force it is there for ages and a good news article disappears to the sideline headline asap.

The article on Mitch stayed forever and the re-signing today of Matt Hodgson dissapeared within hours to the sideline headlines

[.X.]

Tazz you gotta look at the RugbyHeaven Website from the right angle.

Rugby Heaven is basically the Sydney Morning Herald online.

The Sydney Morning Herald are proud sponsors of the Tahs

Does that make it clearer?

Great news, hopefully the first in a long list of re-signing players for the year.

Bugger the headlines...this is good news from a player who gives 110 per cent every time he runs on for the Force.. Good positive stuff, instead of the muck racking we have endured.

My tip for next Wallaby.

Hodgson in Force colours until 2011
Posted 4 hours 49 minutes ago





Western Force flanker Matt Hodgson says he is confident the club will qualify for the Super 14 finals this season.

Hodgson has signed with the club until the end of 2011.

He says he feels comfortable at the Force.

"We're putting a bit of pressure on from a player's point of view, that we want to sort of move into the finals," he said.

"We weren't happy with the way we finished last season, missing out, and we're putting a bit of pressure on ourselves."

The 27-year-old has played 30 times for the Force, and represented Australia A last season.

Hodgson says he always wanted to stay in Perth

"[I am] at the stage now where I'm ready to settle down and Perth was the first on my list, to stay here," he said.

"When the opportunity arose it was ... pretty much just organising stuff and with the family and stuff like that to stay here for two more years."
