JAC in trouble again due to a brawl smh.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Apparently Manly have stupidly offered Matt Lodge a 2 year deal @ 150k per year

Even more stupidly, but thankfully, the dopey prick has turned it down. The entitlement on the bloke is unbelievable

Haven’t been able to find anything on that one

He’s a piece of shit but judged purely on his on-field abilities he’s worth significantly more than 150K.
Some club desperate for front row stock will give him an offer.

 

[JJ]

he has to pay for the hair

Has been talk of super league, but I doubt he would be allowed into the UK

Fake news please ignore.

All good, he did get involved in some knuckle this time last year

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Apparently the Dogs played $600k under the cap this year, were also paying 900k to players that are now at other clubs, and are looking to offload Addo-Carr @ 500k, will be interesting to see what Gould turns that into. They had 3 guys out all season this year too

lol Yeah It was that article that prompted up on my socials. I jumped the gun way too fast there.

Confirmed, Reagan Campbell-Gillard to the Titans

Pretty fair pack with Tino, RCG, Fotuieka, Fifita as rep players and I really rate Fermor too

I'm not being mean but this is the end of his premiership dreams.

He was always a big Penrith identity, who missed their dream run.

He obviously got into Türkiye ok

As Beave said, he was brawling in the recent past. He was dropped from the Kangaroo squad last September after a sideline stoush at the Koori Knockout.

He seems to be feeling the pressure of being a big star, which is a shame because he's a nice fella.

Koori knockout gets pretty loose. I wouldn’t judge him too much on that one. Reminds me of the time Rua Tipoki broke both his hands punching on at a Māori rugby tournament in Opotiki

if Dogs are offloading him, he's someone a lot of clubs would be interested in, maybe they'd take DWZ back?

I personally wouldn’t take a swap. I don’t don’t think JAC is a bad dude or anything but it’d be a huge risk for us to sign a Koori lad with a big network in NSW like him- very high chance of him getting homesick and bailing. Just not a good fit for us.
