I agree with these opinions and I think a couple of other people have said similar things that frankly I am too drunk to go back and figure out now but.....
I never want to see Lodge in a Manly jersey again. As a professional and as a man he had every single thing to play for against Easts that night and what did he do instead? Catted it like he'd heard there was a netball skirt sale on at Mick Simmons and he was afraid of missing an opportunity!
Ability? Toughness? He has none. He is a cr*p player and a dogshi*t human being and his only true ability is the ability to offend multiple people at once. Because he is a knuckle-dragger and a fool.
Seriously can anyone here imagine a real contending team like Penrith or Melbourne or Easts giving him the time of day? Of course not because he is a dogshi*t moron! Culture counts. Like all the supposedly "talented" Fainus I never ever want to see Lodge in a Manly jersey again.
