I agree, as a Tiger fan ive had many arguments about this topic. Packer is a feral piece of garbage just like Lodge. Worthless scum the pair of them.

Packer was remorseful, pleaded guilty, served his time in Gaol, took actual positive steps to turn himself around. Scumbag act but seems to have done everything right since.

Lodge......

a legal judgement in the civil american system which is a plain joke of a system anyway
a NY judge let him go
same for hayne in california where the state deemed there was no case
that should be the end of it , thats certainly the case in Australia

not in that nutbag legal system in the US tho

Not the case in Australia at all. You can bring a civil case in Australia.

He got sentenced to goal and served none of it because they didn't want to waste their tax money money on our problem.

Instead getting community service is the biggest flake out. Thats why nobody believes he's been punished enough to deserve another chance

he got a suspended sentence ?
they're as common as chips for assault & many other serious crimes , even here in Oz
the first rule in sentencing guidelines
incarceration is the last resort , not the first

CARNEY OFF RADAR

MANLY have abandoned plans to sign bad boy Todd Carney as a replacement for Blake Green. Coach Trent Barrett earmarked the ex-Raiders, Roosters and Sharks pivot as a potential recruit before the Sea Eagles board talked him out of it.

We’re hearing the NRL was reluctant to register his contract, anyway. I can understand the decision not to register Carney but there are obviously different rules for different players. Matt Lodge is the perfect example. He has shown no remorse over his disgusting and violent behaviour in the US yet will run out for the Broncos next weekend.

Pissing in mouth and humping dogs are up there with genocide.

Assaulting innocent women and children is okay

Can't even believe the Donkeys would bother going to the trouble of signing this faarrkkwit......the veteran of 14 Nrl games in his 4 seasons with 3 clubs.....just goes to show how desperate Wayne has become. Should be plenty of lol's at the Broncos' expense this year.

Like gordy said at cm launch. once upon a time the Broncos wouldn't even think twice of giving some one of lodges character the time of day...

They've definitely dropped their standards given their relatively woeful success

Matthew Lodge isn’t the last thing that is going on the way

Kirisome Auv'a waves hello

Auv'a faced court, pled guilty, showed remorse, was of previously good character, underwent extensive counselling (declining an offer to play for Samoa so he could do so) etc. He was ashamed of what he did (as he should be).

Lodge has done jack shit. Also, if he committed the same crime here he would've been charged with burglary which is 14 year offence. Let's compare apples with apples.

I'm all for giving people a chance to rehabilitate, but why didn't this guy do time in the US?
BTW how good is he? I can't say I've seen him play.

7.30 Report joining in on the fun with a story on Monday, so the annual RL beat up on the eve of the season is in full swing. This time it is entirely of the NRL's own making. Who was protecting the games image when they registered his contract?
