Broncos sign Matt Lodge on one-year deal

[Unbreakable]

If he uses the same tenacity as he does trying to get a root, imagine how he will go on the field..

Reporter: "So, Matt, how do you expect you will fair coming up against the monster Bulldogs pack tonight?"
Lodge: "This is the night they die."
Reporter: "...."

This would have offended someone...

But I still vote it to be the comment of 2017 on BHQ

From reports he is in prime shape and he will also get a strong preseason. Lodge will be run on prop with McGuire or Sims.

Did this article also say it's "The strongest Broncos team in years"?

To me whether they sign Pearson or not comes down to his work ethic, off the field. His flaws on the field are there for all to see (as are his strengths). He has gotten to the "put up or fold" stage of his career. If he is working on his weaknesses (and they can be fixed with effort), he is worth persisting with. If not, give his spot to someone who will.
We have plenty of fast players on the books who can't tackle, and with fickle hands. The ones who will stay will have more than just pace in their game.

I wouldn't mind him staying in the squad purely due to the fact we have little depth in the outside backs, but you've swayed me with this comment. A broncos jersey is earned. If you haven't shown commitment to improve when you have been treading water as it is then you don't deserve to be in the team.

That being said, I think he's ok but he isn't exactly living up to his potential I feel...

I’ve never thought much of Pearson and he hasn’t shown why he should be in a top grade side.

Is this ACTUALLY official?

No

 

[Sproj]

No

That’s what I thought so posters, can we please avoid adding official tags unless it is actually confirmed in an article with quotes from the club and player/agent.

That was me. And I'll blame Triple M's headline "Broncos officially sign Matt Lodge".

 

[Kyall]

But we can’t be certain that he hasn’t officially signed either though.

 

[Morkel]

I suspect as long as Lodge puts in a decent pre-season and keeps out of trouble, we'll be offering him an upgraded deal before Round 1.

The Roosters could be conjuring up an eleventh hour offer worth 1mil a season to snare him in a package deal with Hayne and Chricton. They are going to offload Jnik (with dubious drug tests) and Nat Butcher to have the cap space, but they reportedly had 5 mil left over from when Beetson retired.

Good signing considering our depleted forward pack..

I mean, I don’t even know why people would have a problem with that.

So...it isn’t official obviously.

Unless of course the Sharks decide to announce it first.

Rothfield feeds them the 'scoops'.
