Buzz: Matt Lodge to Roosters

[FlamingRooster]

A couple things; it's only for this year, which means he's probably been told he wont be with us going forward. 2. Is everyone forgetting about Blake Ferguson, Mitchell Pearce, Todd Carney, Zane Tetevano!!!! We have a history of turning these guys around (Yes, I can already see the comments about Carney). People are stupid when they're young. What he did happened 7 years ago and he's been clean since then. How about we give him a go before we just start calling him a dk head

Let's not forget Jake Friend

[rented tracksuit]

We have a pretty good record of turning bad boys around.

And Ive been telling Robbo we need another big body in the moddle.

I should have been careful of what i wished for

So it’s your fault ya bastard!

[bondi.boy]

Just saw this as well…Did not see this coming…
I’ve never liked what I have seen from him on and off the field.
what’s everyone’s thoughts on this?

Great news.
A new big forward signing...just what we need.

[The Thracian]

It shows where we are as a club, our young fellas have fallen off a cliff, obviuosly no faith in them performing at this level by Robbo anymore, we feel the desperate need to bring in a less than desirable member of society, then again we survived Finch and Pearce, Lodge is a pussycat compared tobthose 2 oxygen theives

[top_joe]

We are coming 9th, and are lacking a good 4th pig.

Dickhead, but a needed one.

[milanja]

Does he need to be reformed? Haven’t heard of anything that he has done wrong since being allowed to play again.

not a fan, and now we look foolish for what was said about pangai jr not coming to the club. But we are desperate, he has a decent offload, and should walk straight into our starting side because we got nothing else.

Ya kidding right? FMD. Comparing those two Larry’s to a convicted felon of serious charges… what were you thinking?

Exactly. We look like fools on the TPJ chance now. We used the No dykhead policy then. Why not now?

in saying that, if he’s our dykhead, I hope he tears it up.

[Easts75]

As I stated good footballer but for me I hope higher standards on who I am happy to play for my club.Imagine if that was your daughter he assaulted that night .He asked them if they wanted to die .We don't need him

Nah i do agree mate and i do have 2 young Daughters. It was a horrific crime and I knkw first hand how these incidents do effect families forever

I'm just a bit aroused of having an effective big pig in the middle for us to help SST & JWH

[shagger]

We need something and this guy fits the bill. Tough goes hard has an offload (something we lack) and is aggressive. Let’s face it apart from Jwh we get smashed in the forwards every week. Don’t worry about the past, Brisbane & the worriers didn’t & I think he will thrive under our structure. Might even get extended if all goes to plane. Don’t forget we had Zane tetevano after his issues and we got the best out of him. Lodge is a top line front rower & there’s not many on the market that fits the bill at the moment.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

So it’s your fault ya bastard!

Haha.

[ChookMaster]

So let me get this straight… we had the opportunity to sign TPJ last season but turned it down due to him not fitting in with our culture but 12 months later in the same boat we now sign a even bigger dickhead in Lodge. You can definitely tell we are desperate so I guess we don’t have much of a choice.

Falling out of the 8 has put the pressure on it seems

[ChookMaster]

Wonder what this means for Terrell May as well. Watch the riff pick him up now

A 2 month sub contract job as opposed to being responsible for a shit kicker on your books full time.
