Lodge, you Monster

[maxta]

All old things aside
Big Lodge was Massive tonight
He owned the collisions all day and gave us another thing missing for ages - an offload.
IF we are to move in a positive way this season, we need some power forwards
Your welcome- It's Lodge and I say job well done so far from the Big man

Just goes to show what difference a good prop can make. I wonder if TT's performances would have been better with someone laying a platform?

Great point and I say Yes 100%

 

[Yaz Eagle]

He should be signed for 3 years. Brings that missing mongrel - good hitups, fast play the balls, offloads and hits in defence. And to top it off our younger forwards will learn from him.

 

[Thewestisbest]

Yep, he was a monster alright. Time to break out the orange cake @Budgie

Don't be stubborn!

 

[Ryan]

His best attributes apart from being a warhorse @maxta , is that when he's being tackled, he lands on his front and does super quick play-the-balls, and that's something we both desperately need, and something I hope rubs off in the rest of the group.

Took me a minute to work out who TT was.

You nailed it Ryan !!
His intensity and effort plays
In attack bends the line and even after collisions wins the quick play....and let me add, his shoulders defensively belt them....plus has an "accurate " offload which is a bonus

 

[Thewestisbest]

Haumole was good tonight, as was Bullemore.

Should play for a contract every season.

 

[Jay Eagle]

He's all Manly.. love him
Reminds me of the old war horses we love..
And i think he will feel at home here..
just wait until he feels he's the pack leader and plays with that "follow me" attitude.
All we need from him now is a bit of agro and niggle that gets under the oppositions skin, players and fans haha
He could be a keeper

 

[Oligarch]

May not be the Ben Kennedy we want, but the one we need?

Whereas Aloai runs 1m before tripping over his own ankles.

And going into the fetal position on his back hahaha !

 

[TheSoaringEagle2023]

And going into the fetal position on his back hahaha !

getting paid 600k for doing that is not a bad day's work at all.

 

[The '47ers]

Only 2 games in but I'm onboard. He's showing up the rest of the pack easily. Go hard you mad farka.

 

[AlxFromNthNarra]

Lodge was very good today. Was dominant last week too. So far, so good.

 

[The Wheel]

We really are one quality forward short, just think between Keppie, Sips and woods (and maybe Oshay as well) there is a real drop off in consistency, talent etc.

With Paseka, Lodge we have top shelf front rowers - we need another to help out the rest

 

[double hoops]

I'm not convinced the two big units in Lodge and Tsips on at the same time is the way to go. It's just too slow up the guts. Bullemore leg speed especially was huge when he came on. I big man and 1 more mobile man would be more balanced

 

[Captain Moondog]

We needed a hard bastard, piss me off and I'll bite your nose off. No more Mr Smiley Friendly Props. It's a yes from me.
