Assuming he plays next week, it will be his 100th Super Rugby Cap - and all those have been with our Western Force.
So any supporter thinking of a no-show next week based on any despondent feelings after last night's game - THINK AGAIN!
Be there to support and show him it has all been worth it!
The team will rally. The Rebels will be confident and cocky (we are their bunnies after-all), we will be massive underdogs - it all points to a better result.
I'll be a no show but that's because I have to go to a stupid wedding![]()
I won't be there either stupid woolarama
“Everyone knows whether it’s rugby, politics or whatever, front-rowers should rule the world, so to have a hooker at the helm makes sense,” Nathan Charles Western Force & Wallabies Hooker.
I'll be there to support Hodgo next week. Amazing effort for us over the years.
However, I do think this will/should be his final year as our captain. I think the best players should play in their best positions regardless. As much as we like Hodgo, I think everyone knows this hasn't been the case sometimes.
I think we need a captain with all the same traits as Hodgo. But someone who is also regardless of title will be the first name on the team sheet every week.
Benny Mac for mine for season 2015
Great game, Fucken battled right through to the 80!
Could not agree more WFDS - McCalman is immense on the field and very understated off it. Just gets on with the job without any fuss and fanfare, just like Hodgo and Pek. Great adverts for our team and the game itself.
I thought Hodgson played 7 games for the Tahs?
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
I'll be there, but it's a shame the game is on at 4.40pm this time of year. Everyone sitting in the eastern stand will have the sun in their eyes the entire game, just hope it's not 37 degrees.
Hodgo's website says that his Super Rugby debut was with the Western Force.

I was contemplating not going given our histroy against the Rebels, the time of the game and the fact we are in the eastern stand, but I would not want to miss Hodgo's 100th game and surely the boys will rise for this massive occasion. I just really hope that it is not a hot day!!!
We will be there no matter what. I just hope they get their act together.
May the FORCE be with you!
I will be there too, and very match thereafter irrespective of how we go.
I want rugby in Perth and will vote by being at every match possible.
Remember life without super rugby!
Good news early weather forecast 29c
Simon Cron: “People talk about winning and losing all the time and they are critical, but there’s a process to get into and it’s the ability to stay present, do your job and execute skills under pressure.”
I will be there, my despondency has lessened and I want super rugby in Perth as well. Great news on the weather..
Very true Tazz. Miserable as it was a showing we can't let Rugby in WA down. It would appear that the current coaching staff seem to be clueless as to a game plan. In the last 10 minutes when they had nothing to lose, just went for it and could play their natural style they got the results. Why did we have to wait 70 minutes of torture to get that? Saw poor Bennie being trotted up to the Last Post after game and said quick hello but you could see he was dead beat & having to face a crowd straight after must've been tough! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FORCE COACHING STAFF And FOLEY IF YOU READ THIS SITE AT LEAST TAKE ON BOARD WHAT EVERYONE IS SAYING AND TAKE THE BLINKERS OFF!
Foley doesn't strike me as the sort of character who will hold his hands up and admit when he's wrong.
Steve Meehan was well regarded as a coach who believes in a free flowing expansive style of rugby. Look at what he did in the UK with Bath. I don't think his departure, forced or voluntary, was a good thing.
I've heard Foley say he wants us to play an attacking attractive style of rugby..... Bullshit!!!!!!! There is no proof whatsoever to suggest that is the direction we're heading..... We play exactly the way the Tahs did whilst he was in charge of them.
If this is the case we're fu@ked. I will go to every game I can and never stop supporting my team as I have done since day one. But it saddens me to have to support a team that plays in a style none of us like.... Just to keep rugby in WA
Great game, Fucken battled right through to the 80!
