Should we re-sign Lodge

[Nathan Aboud]

Definitely...

In 3 games he has really proven himself to the club & his team mates. The performances on the field have been awesome as he will be a key figure into the our defeat of the Broncos next week.

In addition, him & Payne Haas get along really well so it may be a factor into getting Haas to the club in the near future as well.

[Noosa Rooster]

Yes...I would keep lodge ..jwh will be a 30 min footballer if he sticks around and still a part time malaka

Haha. Malaka. Haven’t heard that expression in years. Have to agree though. Just when you think he has the balance right he goes and proves us wrong. Wouldn’t be surprised he has a rest for a week or two.

[The Lip]

On field performances he is a must re-sign. However I think the biggest aspect with this guy is what do the rest of the team think of his character - is he a changed man and one they are proud to call their team mate(based on what they have experienced with him recently I mean and off the field) If so then yes please as on the field he has been really good and getting better.

[Rooster_6]

I still want to see him in a faster paced game when we are on the back foot, he’s definitely the least mobile of our forwards and seems to get to some of his defensive work a little late. May improve with a full pre-season under Robinson though.

[Kelby]

It's a yes from me.

No SST next year.

[Bansai Pipeline]

God yes. Feels like we finally have enough middles.

[BTRD]

Give him a one year deal - he is a loose cannon.

[Waylander]

For the right price, absolutely. Stats so far:

With Collins going off with a concussion again....yes!

Yeah Brisbane will be an interesting test for him.

Guessing no Collins and no Siua so there will be some onus on him the step-up.

Lodge is not a loose cannon. He is now married with a child, looking to settle down in Sydney, and has not had a drink in years.

[Funky Chicken]

I say 1000% yes!!! He gives us some real punch up the middle and has a pretty handy offload. With a full pre-season with us under his belt next year he will be an absolute beast!! and just what we need with losing SST.

[bondi.boy]

We have props ! We need to resign game breakers suallii an manu for life

We have props?
Then they're well-hidden.

We signed Lodge because we don't have enough props.
Now Collins is a concussion worry.
We have 'maybe props' in lower grades.
We have second rowers trying to be props but are not big enough.
JWH is one dumb act away from suspension.
We should definitely re-sign Lodge...now...before someone else does...like Bennett.
Bennett can't get players and has millions to spend.

[Kelby]

So what is our final 30 contracted players now from August the 1st?

[ism22]

I'll have some makkoli please...
