Ignore the salty comments.
He is an apex prop forward on field.
Perhaps Manly can save his soul.
Surely he realises this is last chance alley which is great for Warringah tribe,
Truth be told he was an amazing player during his Warriors tenure, line bending, ball playing at the line....best prop we have had in a long time, slightly edged out Addin Fonua Blake when he was here.
Hopefully the Manly shrink can get in his head and sort out the off field stuff.
The only reason the Warriors and Lodge parted is that our wanker owner who calls himself Alpha male tried to tell Lodge the facts of life in a pub....true story...up until the idiot owner of the Warriors that we call mow-hawk stuck his oar in Lodge was going well here.
You need to realise the Warriors owner is a maverick rich kid who is now an old man that sports a Mohawk and bought a footy club with his pocket money...like I was saying...up until that pub incident, Lodge was our best forward and a fan favourite.
Our owner posted online that Lodge was gone because they had an alpha male clash at a pub....true story and laughable.
Lodge is good enough to drive Manly into a finals berth.
And Warriors fans did not turn on Lodge and call him a toxic whatever till he left our books, any honest Warrior fan will admit he was amazing as a player on field.
I personally think he is a great signing by Manly. He has huge engine for such a big man and his defence is highly underrated.
Without the off field bs he is in the top five props in the game by my estimation.
