Rumours and Stuff

[Jake the snake]

I will consider giving up my membership if we sign a f.wit like lodge.

I am desperate to see us win a comp but signing up a grub like Matt lodge isn't the answer.

I will use pou's argument how many finals has the c..t won.

Zero.

Has any of the clubs been better off with Matt lodge in it.

NO.

End of story

On all fronts he fails. As a player, he has nothing to his game at all that I could see that would make him better than a 3rd grader. And what he did to those poor people in New York, he should of never been allowed to play the game again.

It would be hard to cheer for any team with Lodge in it, I went hard at my Bronco supporting mates when they signed him so I would be an absolute hypocrite for being ok with this. With the new faster game I fail to see what he really adds, he’s not an impact player he’s a big min front rower and we already have two of those. Besides the fact he’s human filth.

It's hard for you to cheer for a team that doesn't have Lodge in it, FFS

Have you considered the fact; this could be garbage fed from his manager to the media?

Or do you just cherry pick the worst specualtion with fellow doomsayers and make irrational decisions all the time?

 

[TheRam]

Oh well no point crying over spilt milk, which 13 year olds in your opinion should we be signing up?

Oh please, don't be a wanker. We already have Gronk.

 

[TheRam]

Yep, if it's match payments only and just for part of the rest of this year (post-1 August I read?) then could be a smart insurance policy, if one of our starters gets injured or suspended.

We're looking a bit shaky come the big end of the season if you take one of RCG, Pualo, Matterson, or even Brown or Makatoa out of our pack for more than an odd game...

Apparently Matt Lodge has been valued at $250K for the rest of the season by the NRL.

Loves a collision so suits BAs game plan.

Seriously though. I'm not sure what I think about the apparent plans to sign the guy. I'd be perfectly happy if the NRL rubbed him out for good...but they didn't. If there were a bloke who could play centre and 5/8th at a decent level out there I'd rather the money go there...but I'm not sure there are too many of them available.

Well don’t be a hindysight champion. We already have hiney.
Sure not selecting him might be a systemic issue, but it could also mean he was shit or there were better players

Anyone 3lse getting up at 4am to watch the socceroos?

I'll probably just watch the 2nd half and get up at 5am.

I’d rather we use spare cap space to front load Moses and Brown. As you say there isn’t much available to help us ATM.

I am thinking similar. Who is broadcasting it?

Can u do that for this year?

Yeh, they can try, but those players have a pretty clear incentive to wait.

Agree.
We need to re shape our 2023 squad imo. Id really love to be able to tap N.Brown on the shoulder and try and get Papali'i out of his tigers contract if possible. Or land Critchton alongside Matterson.
I am suprised BA hasn't started to give Rodwell and Greig game time. Kafusi is off and hardly setting the world on fire. Time to rotate him and Makatoa with these two kids.

 

[hindy111]

I think you can if they extend their contracts. Is that correct?

 

[hineyrulz]

True, even someone like Matto??? Because I’m pretty sure you need to spend 95% of your cap.

 

[hineyrulz]

I’m pretty sure you can if you are extending a current player.
