Lodge's manager, Isaac Moses, declined to comment when contacted on Thursday.
Varghese declined to detail how he planned to recoup the damages if they remained unpaid but Chris Kintis, a partner in commercial dispute resolution at ClarkeKann Lawyers, said there were options available.
"US civil judgments can be enforced in Australia. However, there is a process," Kintis said. "Fresh proceedings would have to be first commenced in Australia to recognise the US judgment. It would then likely become enforceable just as any Australian judgment would."
The incident in New York occurred from about 4am on October 16, 2015 when Lodge, then at Wests Tigers, followed Ms Dekeyser to an apartment building, grabbing her and saying: "Do you think you're going to die? This is the night you're going to die."
The court was told he then forced his way into an apartment resided in by Mr Cartright, Ms Fowler and their son, grabbing Cartright and making death threats. The terrified family ended up moving as a result and took the young boy to a child therapist after he suffered night terrors.
"It's the kind of situation that a normal person can't really imagine being put into," Varghese said.
"The effects of it are probably going to stay with them for a long time, if not the rest of their lives. Especially when you're dealing with a young child and his parents. It's not something you can wave away."
