New Prop Needed

[Kelby]

What about these two as possibles for next year?



Patrick Kaufusi - Cowboys. Off contract. 23yrs. 188cm and 105kg. Goes alright.
Matthew Lodge - Redcliffe Dolphins. 22yrs. 193cm and 110kg. Massive unit, but with a little bit of controversial as well. Bennett rates him.

I think the game is changing and only one prop on the bench is enough.

Yeah the game is changing. So Mobile forwards that can defend edges as well as trample bodies during hit-ups are very valuable, i.e. SST. JT, Boyd, Hess, etc, etc). Offloads are now all the rage - they break defensive cohesion ad often lead to big metres gained, or trys.

But when you have a Asofa, Kasiano, Fifita, , etc on the interchange bench, it can help boost your go-forward as opposed to going backwards like many teams do

absolutely no way with lodge

[eddie]

What happened to Collins?

[roosterproud]

there is no nyc next year so how good would a pre season go with te likes of Sitilli, Ratuvakacuva, Jarred anderson and Jake lewis and Poasa Faamasuli from the Roos.

Lodge is a sociopath.

He's probably on course to be the next Jeffrey Dahmer or John Wayne Gacey so yeah, no thanks.

[Moose]

Lodge is a aociopath.

Bit unfair to sociopaths to lump them in with lodge.

[Moose]

I read somewhere the club only wants an experienced prop so that they dont block the younger ones coming through. E.g. Collins, faamausili, ben thomas

[Mickie Lane]

What happened to Collins?

From what I have seen he is worth persisting with.
And if they are going to go after anyone I think Blair would be a good fit.

[Steakface]

Bloody hell, Lodge to join our other resident sociopath Tetevano in the pack?

L O ****ing L. You've gotta be kidding me. I can't see it being considered.

I'd start to lose a hell of a lot of passion for the team if it was.

To be frank it's bad enough they signed 'Tits' vano.

Kafusi is a good choice.

Lodge is currently dating Sean O'Sullivans sister. So there is already a connection there. Of course Sean is our former recruitment managers son.

I know he is a grub, and to some extent we need a player like that now that JWH has moved on from that period of his life.

Is Blair the type of player that would hurt team cohesion etc?

[Guest]

I like our up and comers led by Lindsay Collins who looks to be a firebrand of the future.

Much rather an older prop for one or two sessons like Lilliman then our youngsters who will then be set. Napa can be our beast if you all think JWH has settled down and become a teddy bear lol.

Lodge is a friggen loop loop.

I have an original John Wayne Gacy painting as Pogo. In fact, in my mis-spent youth when I wasn't on The Wall I was buying lots of serial killer and crime memorabilia. Now it's all in storage and I expect it will stay there.
