He's been allocated (or more likely chose to be allocated) to us. Not that we're holding our breath on getting him back. I'm not too sure which others of the newbies come back to us, not many I think, and certainly not any that are going to be coming back anytime soon. I think Satts and Hodgo, but that's about it. Most of the guys go back to Balmain.
Tippett's choice to swap was strongly facilitated by the coach Lindner I can assure you.
As for Hodgo's loyalty, well he agreed to Parra long before anything you'd want to be trusting your future career to was finalised re the JV. Having lived through those years no one can blame a young guy with talent like him from wanting to get as far away as humanly possible.
