I know why he hasn't started paying it back... just find it ridiculous that they are calling from the roof tops to please the fucking PC crowd.

Are they even aware of what legal ramifications it may have if he starts paying back now.

If they want it paid so much why don't they pay it and get Lodge to pay them back.
True. It's not going to be much when he's only getting 100k a year. Maybe 10k. After tax Lodge would be getting about 70k.
 
It’s only Buzz saying it I know so take it with a massive grain of salt, but allegedly Broncos have sought to upgrade Lodge’s contract, which shows we are keen to keep him and he apparently is keen to stay. The spanner in the works is the new NRL demand that Lodge pay the civil debt.

Which I would be perfectly happy with. All the b*tching could then stop and we would have him signed for more than just this year.

Win win.

Brisbane Broncos are yet to offer forward Korbin Sims a contract extension
Peter Badel and Travis Meyn, The Courier-Mail

KORBIN Sims has appealed for Wayne Bennett to keep him at Brisbane with the aggressive prop outlining his desire to finish his career at the Broncos.

Off-contract at season’s end, Sims is playing for his future at Red Hill and can make a statement of intent in Friday night’s blockbuster against the Storm at Suncorp Stadium.

The Courier-Mail understands the Broncos have yet to table a formal offer for Sims, prompting his management to explore the open market to source options for the Queensland Origin hopeful.

Thrust into the starting side three weeks ago, Sims played off the bench against the Warriors on Saturday night, a blow for a player who needs every minute possible to clinch another contract.

The 26-year-old is determined to muscle up against defending premiers the Storm to prove to Bennett he is worth retaining, admitting he has no plans to leave the Broncos club he first joined as a teenager.

“I want to stay here,” Sims said.

“Being off-contract is never easy, especially when you have to do the right things to get that extra contract.

“I am trying to play some decent football at the moment, trying to lock down my spot off the bench and doing the best I can there first for the team.

“There was a time where I got a chance to start (against the Titans a fortnight ago) and didn’t do too well, but that’s fine by me.

“I will do the best I can and at the moment my best footy is off the bench. I’m happy to do that.

“Whatever Wayne decides for the club and the team, I have to live with it, but my goal is to stay here for the rest of my career.”

Sims was excellent in Brisbane’s Round 3 win against the Wests Tigers, running for 158 metres and making 32 tackles in a 50-minute performance off the bench.

He was promoted to the starting side to replace the injured Tevita Pangai Jr against the Titans the following week, but dropped his first carry of the game, an error that was publicly criticised by coach Bennett.

The arrival of Matt Lodge and emergence of Pangai Jr this year has seen Sims relegated to the bench and it is a role he is still adapting to.

“It’s a different role for me starting off the bench,” he said.

“I’m trying to lift the game and not let the intensity of the game drop when the bench players come on for that rotation.

“At the moment I’m getting better with my game and happier in spots. There is still plenty to work on.”

Like all the Sims brother, Korbin has tonnes of ability, but lacks any consistency.

If he leaves I won't be concerned. I think if Lodge stays guys like Haas will push Sims out of the side anyway if they haven't already by years end. When Haas gets his chance during origin I can't see him going back to ISC unless he plays poorly. Fafita will be another that will push Sims out.
 
I generally don't take what players say to the media too seriously, but this quote concerned me ...

I'm hoping he didn't mean it as it sounds ... because it sounds like he didn't perform too well and that was fine with him ... WTF.
 
Lesson Ah Mau??
NRL rumours Facebook page saying Broncos are trying to sign him for 2019.
If this is true Sims is gone and probably Taga.

Sims can go , offers nothing
Time for young blood
 
Was Leeson Ah Mau ever with the Broncs before?

I think if you read the next part of that quote you’ll realise what he was actually trying to say which is that he didn’t play well enough to lock down the starting spot and that at the moment the club feels his position is on the bench. Doing what’s best for the team, even if it means he has to come off the bench is what he is fine with.

Leeson is 28, he is not that young. I don’t doubt he is looking for a substantial contract at this point in his career...

And this rumour was on the Fox sports website yesterday as a whisper only...
 
Would we be interested in Jackson Hastings?

He is being shopped around. Maybe an attitude adjustment is all he needs? Though if he doesn’t get along with Manly players, maybe he is alright afterall?
