BREAKING: Broncos prop Matt Lodge hit by suspected season-ending ACL injury

The Broncos have suffered a huge blow ahead of the 2020 season with Matt Lodge suffering a suspected ACL tear.

The Courier Mail are reporting that the 24-year-old went down at training on Tuesday and was immediately sent for scans with the results due in this afternoon.

If the scans confirm he has indeed torn his ACL, then the loss of Lodge will be a huge setback for coach Anthony Seibold’s plans.

Lodge had been in the discussion to play representative football for NSW in 2019 and was one of Brisbane’s better performers in an underwhelming season.

And given that it would require surgery, Lodge could miss the majority if not all of the 2020 season.

If it is confirmed that Lodge has injured his ACL, he will be the fourth player to have suffered the same injury during the pre-season after Roosters’ Billy Smith, Titans captain Ryan James and Warriors prop Bunty Afoa.

As a Broncos supporter, I can honestly say,


Meh.

Why do bad things happen to good people?

Usually when these injuries happen you get a lot of sympathy from rugby league fans...

… This one will be different.

 

[BadnMean]

The Bronco's backs & halves still look a bit meh, but I was starting to think if Seibold could get his forwards to understand the tackling is more important than the running they could be a hard team to beat. Just lost their "leader"...

Probably not looking good for Bronco's fans this year.

I doubt the schadenfreude will be limited to the "LU mob"

Twitter, Reddit already going nuts as well.

Was waiting for that meme, good to see I wasn’t let down.


LU continues to deliver.

He probably did it trying to kick someone’s door in.

 

[Bazal]

I wonder if the surgeon has been very clear with him. There's a very real risk that the night of the surgery could be the night he dies

 

[JB04]

This is the night you tear your ACL. All jokes aside though, I hope it ends his career

 

[myrrh ken]

It's a pity. I heard he was training someone else's house down.
