Lodge

[Tiger05]

He needs to learn to hold the ball. Against a decent team we might have lost the game with those hands. Its unacceptable.

He does look like a good prospect however he might end up one of those players with too many mistakes in him.

 

[Tigerm]

Love Lodge's controlled aggression. Easily our most aggressive forward.
Big big future.

Yep, sure has a future, he is a big unit isn't he.

 

[Matchball]

Reminds me of a young Luke O`Donnell

 

[BuffaloRules]

Was at the game today.

Dropped it cold twice...

But..

He looks big in real life and still has some growing to do.

Potential- Massive.

 

[Crippler]

reminds me of a George Burgess type player

 

[benched tiger]

According to the DT, the Lodge has been stood down from training for a week due to a late night altercation in Kings Cross, where he was also arrested.The NRL's integrity unit is also investigating the incident.
Lodge obviously has talent and a possible bright future ahead of him in the NRL,i just hope he gets his sh*t together and knuckles down or else he may end up like plenty of others that have blown a career opportunity in the NRL.

 

[Ron's_Mate]

It's not his go.

 

[The Rosco]

It's not his go.

Spot on mate. All he needs to do is change his name to Billy Lodge, or Cameron lodge, and he will be above reproach.

But seriously . . . what usually happens is the original club caves in to PC pressure ( and punts the bloke who pissed on a wall ), and a new club comes along with a rehab plan that includes hand clapping, tree hugging and good, clean and wholesome activities to "put him on the right track".
We need to pre-empt any train wreck here, and just implement the wonderful healing strategies of the new vulture club ourselves, without letting him go.
The Roosters seem to have a pretty good record for picking up and turning around wayward souls . . . and they only do it for their love of humanity, not for any personal gain of course . . . maybe we should pay more attention to their bag of tricks.

 

[The Charlatan]

While it's not a good look for the club, and I don't like seeing our guys in the media for the wrong reasons, it's nothing to punt him over. If this is the worst he does at our club I'll won't be too upset.

 

[Irvine]

Lodge is a good kid and we need him. Let's just put this down to a misunderstanding.

He is much better than Buchanan and Brown who both made the VB NSW Cup Representative side last year.

 

[macnaz]

Maybe , i still have some time for Brown and even Buchanan who looks to be bulking a bit . Its great to have huge men eating yards but it's good to have those workhorses in defence as well aka Gibbs type guys .

Lodge = four first grade games and three significant transgressions already in his career. Not looking good.

He wrote merkin on a wristband (stupid but by no means significant,) he's been arrested after refusing to leave a pub (probably happens every weekend,) and what's the third transgression? The rumour he offered Bellamy out in the carpark?

We've long needed a aggressive bloke with a merkin of an attitude in the side.

As long as he isn't engaging in behaviour like bashing women, DUI or getting into scrapes off the pitch I don't care how much of a merkin he is.

 

[Shanghai Charlie]

We once had an aggressive merkin in our team called Fifita. We also had the police turning up at training more than once. Fifita also did plenty of 'by no means significant' things wrong as well as 'significant things'.

Until he was essentially sacked and sent to Cronulla.

Lodge is making a name for himself for all the wrong reasons with only four games under his belt.
Hope he pulls his head in because he will be the premier prop in the game in a very short time.

Yeah would be a shame if Lodge ends up like Fifita...:sarcasm:

 

[Vic Mackey]

If lodge played for souths he would be considered a clean skin, seriously not worried in the slightest about him

 

[macnaz]

Meh.... same as Willy Mason , had some indiscretions but in the scheme of things they are nothing.. but in saying that Lodge is sailing close to the wind and needs to pull his head in for the sake of $$ and a career.

 

[macnaz]

Yeah would be a shame if Lodge ends up like Fifita...:sarcasm:

Lol. Yep great call by the Sheenious, we have no use for forwards with balls and aggression. Lucky he went on to to be a failure aye

 

[Shanghai Charlie]

Yeah would be a shame if Lodge ends up like Fifita...:sarcasm:

Yeah would be a shame if we have to let him go for repetitive infringements and he goes on to sort himself out and be another Fifita. He is headed in that direction.

 

[BuffaloRules]

I notice that Lodge was caught up in all that Fifita garbage last week...

He has been one of the biggest disappointments of the year for mine ( when there has been plenty..)

Seems to have gone backwards on the field, and still having off field dramas..

A wasted year...
