Expect Lodge to sign shortly a 2 year deal.
I heard from a good source at Burrow reunion last weekend it’s a done deal.
Also expect Wayne and Dodd at training Monday
Lodge signing is great news. Even though we have a very athletic forward pack it will be good to have that 1 prop that grabs the ball and just hits it up straight up the middle. Most of our forwards are really athletic but they don't have that intimidation factor about them. I thought we actually got bullied out of a lot of games last year. I think lodge brings that with him to our forward pack and that's the signing we really needed to round off our pack.
I don't expect Schuster to feature in the early season which means Arrow might start on the edge with Aitken on the other. Unless Bennett wants to move Murray from the lock position to second row to preserve him as long as possible. However he configures the pack I'm a lot happier with Lodge in it. Keppie was a big disappointment for me last year and I hope Bennett can bring the best out of him as well.
