Matt Lodge

[Intercept]

Rooster_6 nailed it. Lodge opens up so many holes around the ruck with his lack of defensive mobility. This opportunity goes to Baker or Fifita. Likely they'll both get a chance at some stage.

[King Salvo]

It would be a backward step - give Baker/DSF/TukuHau Tapuha some extended play in NRL.

Simple..........thanks but no thanks. No dickhead policy.
His existence would go against the principles mngt have upheld since carter & pearce farked off.

No Thanks rather back our Young Ones

[Johnny Brass]

Big no from me , besides my personal feelings that I detest the bloke for his actions against a defenceless family. I don't think he's suited to the modern game , he has no footwork and doesn't offer much in the way of bending the line and he's defence is far from damaging.
How the Broncos paid huge money for this guy reiterates the mess their salary cap and recruitment are in.
The young bloke they let go to the warriors is a real gun and has so much footy in him. Xavier Coates will probably leave and be a star down at the Storm.
Uncle Nick and Robbo are far more astute in their judgement of a players worth for which I'm very grateful.

Matt Lodge is Martin Kennedy mk2.

Slow, cumbersome, mentally suspect on the field.

Only difference is Kennedy wasn't an arrogant nutcase.

Then throw in the fact that the Lodge style of prop has become incrementally less effective as the game has evolved to be played at a faster pace.

Crap idea. Hopefully Rothfield is full of shite yet again.

Exactly right, at his best he is mediocre. At his worst he is threatening to kill families in an ice fuelled rage. Under no circumstances.

I hope they laughed down the phone at his manager. No thanks.

[Spirit of 66]

Because we need rejects from the wooden spooners? Can Darius Boyd be tempted to come out of retirement too?

[The Lip]

I’d prefer to develop Fletcher Baker. He has a lot of potential and, to the best of my knowledge, is not a piece of human garbage.

I also responded in the other thread:

Absolutely bloody well no! I don't care how desperate our situation ever becomes, he would be the last, and I mean the last, player I would ever want us to sign - period! Boy do I hope that nothing comes of that. It would be the absolute pits. Fortunately, I cannot ever see it happening.

Agreed mate.

Culture and attitude is what wins games, not raw physicality. I'll take a youngster who's excited about playing for us over this dude any day of the week.

Baker and Suaalii/Iku can slot in for Collins and B-Moz... I'm sure about it.

[crikey chris]

PHUCK NO!

Must be a late April fools joke!

Buzz if your reading this forum PUH-LEEEZE Fark right off he belongs at the shit stain and their ‘we allow wifebeaters and dickheads policy’ or your very own guppies with all the overpaid muppets Sharon, Dugan, Townsend Fifita and Moylan.

[Nicola Tesla]

If we were looking, I’d see if Zane is looking to come home earlier... but I imagine he has a nice contract over in the Super League.

[ROC181]

I believe I heard Buzz say that the Roosters response was thanks but no!
