Matt Lodge at Roosters HQ

[keggs1]

He was there having a coffee with SOS.

you sure about that?

I was only walking past when Lodge walked out, but the bloke he was with wasn’t SOS.

Lodge had his bags with him, so he must’ve been on his way to the airport.

Sorry tongue in cheek!

Just saw Matt Lodge coming out of a cafe right next to the Roosters training base. He walked out with an official looking bloke in club apparel.

Is he off contract at Brisbane? We could be talking to him...

you sure that official looking guy wasn't in a police uniform?

[Bigchook]

Would take him in a heart beat. Big body, can play big minutes, has great aggression on the field. He'll play for nsw in the not to distant future. Would take him over napa without blinking.

I would want to set a slightly higher bar than Napa.

[Arties Pie]

Maybe the club could offer Nappa for Lodge.... Somehow I don't think the Bronc's would be interested considering it's a downgrade.

I imagine they'd be asking similar money. Lodge isn't as one dimensional as napa. Lodge has had a great year after two years out of the game. After a full pre season he is going to be an absolute wrecking ball. Doesn't take a backwards step on the field. I'm not sure where he's at off the field but he has all the tools on the field to be one of the best props in the game.

The Bronco's have got younger and better options than both Napa and Lodge. The talk at the start of the year was that Napa wanted a release to join the Knights. He was spotted getting on the sauce quite often with Pearce up their in Newcastle during the offseason.

[bondi.boy]

Oh no...we need some bigger bods but not him.

Why not?
He's big, tough and just what we need, a big prop.

[roostersrule2]

Please no, withstanding the fact that he’s a total piece of shit he’s not the kind of prop we need.

We need someone like TPJ/Tapau someone with x-factor

[Tommy Smith]

Lodge is a tank and will play for NSW pretty soon.

I'd still prefer Taupau whose 2nd phase play is a massive weapon - a weapon we desperately need that the likes of Radley and Teddy in particular would feast on.

[milanja]

Thought he already re-signed with broncos when he got a loan to pay the victims in NY.

[Kelby]

Signed with the Broncos. Move along.
Fingers crossed we sign Ta Pow!

Yeah, I heard some fanfare in the media about that not long ago.

Is he even off contract?
