PRE-GAME Round 2 - Broncos vs Cowboys

[Foordy]

I think he has every intention of paying it back but knows he needs to perform well first in order to get a contract that will enable him to do so. If he leaves us because of that, so be it.

I think he has every intention of paying them some compensation, but so far they have refused to enter negotiations with him over a figure.

maybe when they realise they don't have legal grounds to force him (unless he returns to the US), they might come to the table

 

[Super Freak]

I haven't seen any reports to that effect.

Greenberg didn't say those words exactly, but when he was on League Life it was brought up that he will make sure Lodge makes good on paying the victims.

It seems that was one of the conditions of him being allowed back in the NRL.

Can they do that though? If it ends up being unenforceable in Australia, I'm not sure the NRL have any right to force him to pay it.

Morgan is out?

Massive boost for our chances.

It hasn't been confirmed yet, but it looks like he won't be playing.

We'll get confirmation tomorrow.

 

[holdzy]

Fingers crossed.

TPJ and Lodge need to be on Thurston like white on rice.

Now we need JT (x2), Scott, Hess and Feldt and we should be sweet :clown:

But JT losing makes it that much sweeter.

I think if it was one of the conditions of re-entry that they can, but I'm not sure of the legality of it.

Something does tell me that if Lodge took it to court, he would win.

I think he'll be made to pay compensation, but fair compensation. I'm sure there are legal teams scrambling around right now trying to come to some sort of agreement that is not lottery-win like.

 

[winslow_wong]

I don't think anyone fears our forward pack. Need to earn that shit.

 

[roo-ted]

Lodge and TPJ need to take some names this Friday

 

[007]

Lodge and TPJ need to take some names this Friday

I actually agree with something you have said for once.

Come on now 007 I only pester you so you will reveal your true identity [emoji16]

Fingers crossed.

This is a game where we will miss Blair the most. He didn't give a **** about Thurston or any of their players and physically bullied them. A lot of our players are too scared to do the same to Thurston, Smith, Cronk & Slater.

 

[Battler]

What's this I'm hearing about TPJ putting the offload away? Surely it's fake news? We need it for two reasons: 1) I have him in my SC team and it will hurt his PPM; and, 2) it's one of TPJ's biggest strengths and what makes him such a threat.

Wayne Bennett nor any broncos staff members give two ***** about super coach or fantasy stats period. They only care about winning and doing what's best for the team which is what TPJ said that he will do going forward. You have to earn the right to offload the ball to begin with and we cant beat the cowboys with another handling error display like the Dragons game. And TPJs biggest strength is the ability to bend the line and get a quick play the ball. That's exactly what we need on Friday

His ability to get into a position to offload isn't a bonus to his game? Haven't we been crying out for second phase play since Parker retired? McGuire especially has been savaged for not being able to ball play or offload, now we have Lodge and TPJ who possess those skills as natural talents and we aren't going to capitalise on that? Sure, he could be more selective, but coaching him to stop doing it is the wrong move imo.
