Subject: Cease and Desist – Defamatory Statements Regarding Hodges Agency


Dear @Defence ,

I am writing regarding a defamatory post recently published on nzwarriors.com which stated or implied that I “cannot be trusted” in my role as a licensed NRL player agent and director of Hodges Agency.

This statement is:
  1. False and defamatory – It directly attacks my professional integrity without any factual basis.
  2. Damaging – Such comments have the potential to erode trust with current and prospective NRL players, undermining years of professional reputation building.
  3. Actionable – Defamation is a serious matter under Australian law. I reserve all rights to pursue legal remedies, including damages and injunctive relief.

As a direct consequence of this behaviour, it should also be noted that individuals engaging in defamatory conduct against Hodges Agency may find it more difficult to secure representation or player signings through our agency. Professional relationships are built on trust, and undermining that trust has repercussions.


Accordingly, I demand that you:
  • Immediately remove the defamatory content from nzwarriors.com.
  • Provide written confirmation within 7 days that the material has been removed and that no further defamatory statements will be published.
  • Cease and desist from any further publication of false, misleading, or disparaging remarks regarding me or Hodges Agency.

Failure to comply will leave me with no choice but to escalate this matter formally through legal channels.

I strongly urge you to treat this matter with the seriousness it warrants.


Sincerely,
Chris Hodges
Director – Hodges Agency
Dear Mr Hodges,

Thank you for your cease and desist. Please be advised that I am filing a counter-claim for emotional distress caused by being forced to draft Gavin cooper under your so-called ‘guidance’. Damages sought: one first-round pick and perpetual bragging rights.

Yours in good faith,

@Defence**

9 sign ups so far - will cap this at 13 and take emergency reserve sign ups after that. If we get to 13 before the sign up deadline we will close early.

Over the last few days most of the rest of the game has come to me in my head. So we should be good to go.

Was a bit hesitant committing this far out, plus if the miracle of all miracles happen and we win the comp i was planning to celebrate by not being sober the entire summer

but all good, sign me up Wrighty.
Good. I needed someone for me to target my inappropriate jokes to.

A who’s who of forum excellence. Can we entice @MaybeTop8 away from neoliberalism chat on the political thread to join in??
 
Ok The contestant list is Frozen - we will go with those eleven plus tajhay as Chris Hodges

The Rules are posted in the opening post. The game will start Dec 26th 2025 and run for about two weeks.

Please let me know your feedback on the rules. Although please note I am fairly happy with them this year. In past years there were specific rules I needed help with. The only rule I am unsure of is "Bidding closes at 6pm each day and last minute bidding allowed". Last year I closed the thread at a secret random time between 6pm and 7pm but this time since I am playing and moderator I went with a 6pm close.

Ok look forward to hearing from you.

Ps the other rule I might wiggle on is the minimum bid. I debated between $200,000 and $150,000

Possible penalties Chris Hodges may impose
a) One of your hodges players has had a stoush with the owner or coach, insert random reason for trouble at the mill, unless you play a fine of $X you will forfeit the player as he wants to walk out on you.
b) One of your hodges players has been spreading rumours to other teams saying your team is stink to play for – in the next bidding round you may only bid once per player instead of twice.
c) Chris Hodges has messaged you to say that all your Hodges players will walk out on you unless in the next bidding round you make a bid on player x (from the 2025 pool of players)
d) Chris Hodges says that all your Hodges players will walk out unless player X (a player somewhere low on your depth chart) is elevated to your top 17 and you have to then name them in your top 17.
e) Anything Tajhay comes up with that is not too unreasonable.

Those top 50 players look to be more 1998-2018, is the intention to have nearly all current players not subject to the Chris Hodges player manager risk?
