I have a great feeling about the Brown and Lodge domination through the middle with Lodge just about to make his 2024 comeback.
Lodge is a mountain of a man and love or "dislike" him, I thought he was Super in his limited 2023 games and at times, I'd go as far as say he carried Manly on his back.
Well now there will be 2 firebrands which will ensure we won't be bullied and intimidated through the middle which has been a major issue for us in recent years.
This could also lift and add aggression to bug Paseka and make Aloiai play angry every game rather than 1 in 5.
Oka is already a monster and Jake and Croker are textbook defenders so they can just do what they do.
I reckon Sipley who is already a tough unit will add more aggro and in general we may well have a respected and feared pack once it all clicks, which will open up much space for our speedy strike weapons out wide.
So get ready to "Get Brodged" once Lodge and Brown are both part of this strong pack.
