Matt Lodge... Signed.

[Kiwi Eagle]

Fastest play the ball and most tackle breaks in the competition according to Seibs.
That is most welcome in our team.

Please tell me that didn’t genuinely come out of Seibolds mouth ? What an absolute load of garbage

At some point i will wake up and these bizarre comments will all make sense

Have a look at his latest presser

Well get on with it!

I'm parked outside Mestrov's house, pitchfork in hand.

He probably thinks you're there to clear the horse shiite out of the stall ..

Penn! It's the Penn house!!

 

[Woodsie]

Penn! It's the Penn house!!

What can you expect from a bloke that doesn't rate Froggy ... but ... in a pillaging and burning you take what help you can get.

 

[BOZO]

And I like your passion and efforts to inspire Bozo.

Passion my feathered friend is the flammable fuel of our desire to overcome , prevail and triumph
Passion is A Maroon team with a SOO series win
and a Manly Sea eagles team with a Premiership win

Have a look at his latest presser

Thankfully I can’t find it because I find his voice hard work

Can’t find any metric at all where Lodge is anywhere near the top of the pile for tackle breaks

Bit of a recap here, mate:

Anthony Seibold: 'We want competition for spots'

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles Coach Anthony Seibold says no player should feel comfortable about owning a jersey each week in the run into the finals.

Reading between the lines, it seems obvious that Lodge will be in our top 30 next year and that this "train and trial/One Week at Blacktown" deal will be the most palatable way to make that happen.

Maybe he was mixed up with law breaks

If Lodge is indeed marked for a leadership position in the team I wonder what effect it may have on the crowds for our home games?

They’ve been great turnouts this season but I wonder if fans (& perhaps sponsors) may vote with their feet next season, resulting in smaller crowds?

Look Im torn about the Lodge signing. Do I think he is a grub for what he did? 100%. Do I think we need a mongrel front rower who has the intimidation factor 100%? Do I want to win a premiership in the next 3 years 100%? I guess that's my answer. If he can help us win a premiership I am fine with it. In professional sports remember winning is everything.

We have played pretty ordinary and the crowds have been the best for years. So I don’t think the lodger will have an adverse impact especially if he assists us becoming more competitive.

[Woodsie]

Geez I hope Seibold is a genius ... and we are just sausage roll eaters ..

Will love to eat humble pie instead ...

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Again, I keep reading how Lodge is this hugely feared aggressive front rower in the NRL

When, and by who ?

His intimidation factor in the WNRL may be high but Gary Winter wasn’t one of the most feared NRL players just because he had been behind bars

I’ll direct him to the stats of P Haas

The club obviously know the general thoughts around this signing, as any comment at all that is remotely critical of Lodge is being deleted from their social media accounts

I mean, it’s fair enough what Seibold says but I think it’s not only the incident but the way he went about things after it that leaves a bad taste in peoples’ mouths.

As he’s now signed with us, I can only wait & see how it turns out.

It may well be a masterstroke by Seibold, we shall see.

I’m not sure I’m too enamoured with Seibold’s big wraps of Lodge though, it almost sounds like he’s a project.

Honestly, this is getting close to the final straw with my support for the club. We've gone from being a powerhouse 2007-2013 to going around picking up whatever scraps we can find. I have zero faith in the club's ability to actually build a successful team. Blokes like Tom, Jake, Reuben and DCE deserve to be in a better situation.
