Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
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
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?

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
Great news, hopefully the first in a long list of re-signing players for the year.
Onya Hodgo.
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.
the punters friend..... stick with me and you will be wearing
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."
