What's missing at Parramatta is: a top quality five-eight, strong forward leadership, one (or, preferably two) state of origin level players, and a high-profile coach. So, no, Lodge wouldn't bring all that. But he'd bring some of it. (And I'm not suggesting he should coach Parramatta. Or am I?)

Which of those issues above does Lodge provide?

It’s a little known secret but he’s a very good 5/8th

Unproven tbough.

We're in a position at the moment where we don't need to pay big money for unproven qualities.

We know what the issues are, we just need to buy the right players with proven abilities.

What about checking out McCullough from the Broncos. Seems to be out of favour up north. 29 years old. 2 year contract to support and mentor Mahoney and Schnider. Id reckon hed bring some leadership as well.
Just a thought.

Not the worst idea, depending on cost. He's been out injured and working his way back. I suggest he'll be part of the plans going forward.

Apparently agreed to a one year extension today

McCullough signed a 4 year deal in 2018 covering 2021. Was mentioned tonight years 3 and 4 are options in his favour. Probably unlikely but who knows. Get on it Marky O and Bernie.

Guess they meant he “activated” his option year for 2020

Massive plodder, it would be like bringing back Matt Keating to the club. Turpin has shown more in 4 games than he has in 4 years.
