Matt lodge

[Allo]

He doesn’t do it every week though. Where was he last week?

We had 39% possession and he only had 11 possessions for 9 carries.

this week we had 53% and he had 29 possessions for 24 carries.

Kinda the whole story there. More possession = better game

Props: Haas, Lodge, Carrigan, Flegler, Kennedy, Bullemor, Robati

That is great depth but are we too heavy cap wise there?

We didn’t start the game with no ball.

Our forwards didn’t turn up last week and manly rolled through us.

We only had one more set in the first than the second. More field position, but only one set.

Matt still only had 6 runs that half, out of our 14 sets, which is low, granted, but I’m not going to hang him over it

The Knights reportedly want Lodge (and not as a swap for Klemmer) ... but only if we pay half his salary.

to that i simply say, the Knights can shove that request up their ass

What a joke

They can give the Broncos Ponga while paying half his salary first.

Fair trade. I'll take it.

Lodge's stock just rose after tonight's game, it makes it easier for the Broncs to offload him without having to cover much of his salary.

I was also impressed that during the huddles, he was doing most of the talking and seemed to have the respect of the team

So was Asiata when he was on.

I just got a message from a mate of mine who is a knights fan saying lodge will be there in round 13 meaning he won’t play for us again after his suspension.

could just be a gee up

 

[Dazza 92]

ABC Radio plugged the same scenario during the Roosters game also..

No source for these rumours of course...

 

[Unbreakable]

The source for the Lodge rumour is a Barry Toohey article yesterday. He's the only reporter in Newcastle worth following. If he's saying it's likely to happen, it's likely to happen.

 

[Sproj]

So we are going to give him away and pay half his wage? Stupid stupid stupid.

We've already paid half his wage for this year - surely they don't mean moving forward.

 

[Galah]

Getting rid of him is a mistake

This is the Broncos we are talking about.

We’ve got DD now though who’s meant to be a good operator
