Unwelcome Matt
Broncos front-rower Matt Lodge could be forced out of Brisbane and he has been trying to generate some interest from the Roosters. But the tricolours haven’t forgotten something that happened a few years back.
The Roosters were prepared to provide Lodge a path back to the big time, but it had to be via Wyong, the Roosters’ feeder team at the time. Lodge didn’t like that idea one bit, so instead he went to Brisbane after telling the Roosters coaching staff he didn’t want to drive from western Sydney to Wyong each day. The Roosters have not forgotten that.
It’s hard to imagine him fitting into the culture created by tricolours coach Trent Robinson. The fact that Brisbane are willing to stump up $1 million to see him play somewhere else says a lot.
