Yeah mitch222 mentioned it but seems he's legged it after Joe broke the great news about the club.
Eh we all just want SOMETHING remotely good news out of the club, we are desperate supporters.

Or just maybe we don't want CapewellWe could still get Capewell if the board stop burying their heads in the sand and do the bold thing of doing their jobs and making stuff happen. Instead, they’ll likely review the need to do their jobs and then lament the missed opportunity once it is past.
I just read a story on his rags to riches journey. A true RL battler who still isn't exactly earning a great deal. His market value just rose significantly.We could still get Capewell if the board stop burying their heads in the sand and do the bold thing of doing their jobs and making stuff happen.

Lindsay is pretty happy and very settled at Bondi. He is a loyal dude as well and is due for a contract upgrade at his current club. I don't think returning to Brisbane has even crossed his mind.I tell you what, if there was the possibility of swapping Lodge for Collins, I'd be seriously entertaining it too.
What ya know @Wolfie ?
Asking for a mate..
Do you know something Wolfie? You mentioned something about staggs not hanging about too .
Even if Lodge is better there is a lack of value on the money he is on. Roosters are getting way better value out of Collins than we are out of Lodge.Let's see how well Collins plays with a broken leg and not-properly-healed injuries before we declare him better than Lodge...

I admit I never wanted him here and he proved on and off the field that he had earned a right to stay. However, he is not worth near the cap money he is on even on his best form last year.
He's played these minutes (around 50) in a few games for the Roosters and delivered when asked to do the job. I agree he will get an upgrade but even so will still be better value than the 750K for Lodge.If Collins performs like he did last night, consistently for his club, he won't be on the money he is on now. He would be cheap, now, because he's unproven, and playing in a team where he is only required to do a very simple role of maintain the momentum built up by the starting forwards.
If he is replacing Lodge, he needs to be starting, playing 50 - 55 minutes of high effort workload, and if he's doing that he'll cost around the same as Lodge anyway.
Imo the issue is not so much of a lodge vs Collins thing, but that the roosters are great at finding those low cost forwards that pack punch and cost f all.If Collins performs like he did last night, consistently for his club, he won't be on the money he is on now.

He played a few games around the 50 mark. Yes,not consistently but I think he can do it if given the opportunity and depending on rotations etc.He's started in 5 games out of 19 this year, and averaged under 40 minutes per game. So no, not yet he hasn't, certainly not consistently.
Look at his peers coming up through the Broncos and the money we are paying them in comparison. We got greedy and tried to keep to many of the young forwards we had coming through.Exactly. He was signed by the rorters when he was young and inexperienced and not an NRL player.
Yep, our roster is massively out of balance in this regard compared to Roosters and Melbourne.Imo the issue is not so much of a lodge vs Collins thing, but that the roosters are great at finding those low cost forwards that pack punch and cost f all.
And when they do make a name for themselves and sign for more dosh elsewhere, they just replace them with the next.
