A brutally honest Josh Hodgson fronted the media on Tuesday for the first time since relinquishing Raiders co-captaincy duties, exhibiting himself as a vastly different character to that which has been represented in the press of late. Far from the polarising figure he has been cast as in recent times, the 31-year-old offered Raiders fans a glimpse of the real Hodgson and openly responded to questions about the issues seemingly plaguing him and the club. He spoke of his commitment to Canberra, the strength of his relationship with Ricky Stuart and the agonising decision he made to rid himself of captaincy duties. He revealed plans to play on for another four or five years, but left the door wide open for a switch to another club should the right opportunity come along. Speculation about potential moves to the Brisbane Broncos or Canterbury Bulldogs were laughed off, as was any suggestion of a rift between him and Stuart.
