Matt Lodge... Signed.

[Top End Eagle]

Wiremu Grieg is off contract at the end of the year. He should be a priority signing.

Haven't seen much of him. Would a saifiti be looking for a change?

Saifiti wouldnt be cheap, since hes played origin.

 

[bob dylan]

I think there will be a lot of Roosters for sale soon.

I wont really be happy until they sack their smug coach.

They are an aging list and their season won’t improve. Turbo has been playing on one leg all year and cops crap about it. What’s Teddys excuse? He’s sucked all year and nobody says s$&@!

We’ll his not looking to smug tonight, looked like he wanted to cry a couple of times during the first half, pretty funny really.

Yeah Latrell has 100 yards on them two.

Kennedy and Edwards are the next best on form.

 

[Sheikheagle]

Lodge is being owned by the Penny forwards. No thanks.

 

[MIGHTYEAGLE]

Agree, Lodge looks slow and lazy.

But that idiot Fittler will pick him in Origin.

 

[JenEagle]

Dylan Edwards should be picked for nsw at fullback

Also offloaded to no-one in particular......it would be like having Marty all over again.

 

[maxta]

Lodge has looked crap in 2023
Disinterested, throws grenades every game and even his intimidation factor has diminished....average at best

A bit like having another Sean Keppie - but with a criminal record in a foreign nation - thrown in.

Fair call
Expected more from Keppie in 23 also
Major disappointment

Mmm no thanks…another big slow forward is not the answer…Sipley looks quick compared this guy.

I don’t recall him ever being intimidating…maybe off the field but he has always been a plodder on it and does not display the kind of dynamism to be intimidating

Many front rowers who intimidate are not Dynamo's
Hargreaves, Klemmer and many more
secondly, his style of intimidation is of the grub style, but I reckon based on a lad that size who comes in late, high and has zero discipline can definitely be intimidating for the opposition team

 

[Nordburg]

Anyone still calling for Lodge’s signing to happen?He’s been like this for a while now

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Exactly ! Has a ‘hard man’ reputation because he intimidated women and children

Calling him an on field hard man is a huge insult to the likes of David Gillespie, Spudd Carroll, Ruben Wiki, Adrian Morley etc etc

Calling him an in field hard man is a huge insult to the likes of David Gillespie, Spudd Carroll, Ruben Wiki, Adrian Morley etc etc

As mentioned above, his intimidation has always only been the dirty type cheap shots both on and off the field
He is far from hard, got belted once vs Penrith and was like a pussy cat.
The bloke who smashed him "Liam Martin" is a true enforcer and a bloke I respect in the category of former hit men you mentioned, who are genuinely tough men.
