NRL are Hypocrites......Matt Lodge

[lsz]

There is no simple way to handle cases that happen off the park. As we saw with Brett the challenge will always be balancing the potential innocence of the player V the damage to the code.

The only way the NRL can actually handle these issues is with clear transparency and process - that way fans and players know where they stand,

Every player who has "wronged" should not go through some subjective "process" behind closed doors. What is the difference between what he did and say Jamil H? Who knows as it all goes on behind closed doors.

The important issue here is “ double standards”, that’s the issue for the NRL.

Not that he gives a **** but Greenslime is being hammered on Twitter today.

Compare this to punishment handed out by Parramatta and the NRL to Tony Williams for drink driving , the NRL are a joke.
COLLINGWOOD midfielder Jordan De Goey has been “indefinitely” suspended by his club and fined after being caught drink-driving.
The Magpies released a statement on Monday afternoon, confirming De Goey would only be considered for senior AFL selection once he had “convinced his peers and coaches that meaningful change has occurred, and that his standards have risen to those of the group”.
On top of the club-imposed ban, De Goey has been fined $10,000 and will make a further $10,000 donation to a charity. He will also train away from the senior list for at least four weeks while he also takes on employment away from the club.

I reckon it will be fixed up quietly by the Thoroughbreds, thats why his "contract" is so low at the moment. Whole contract/TPD/Salary cap stinks.

 

[COMMANDER]

The NRL will be in deep poo if this bloke goes postal on a night out and does some damage. The thug should have been stamped "never to return" for what he did.

August, 2015
Police have charged Wests Tigers forward Matthew Lodge with a range of alleged domestic violence offences, including common assault, stalking and intimidation.

The rugby league club confirmed on Friday that the 20-year-old had been stood down while the club and the NRL Integrity Unit received further details of the case.
A NSW Police spokeswoman said a 20-year-old man was arrested at an address in Marayong, in Sydney's west, on Thursday and taken to Blacktown police station.

He was charged with six counts of common assault, malicious damage, and stalking and intimidation, and was served with a provisional apprehended domestic violence order.

Lodge was sacked by Wests Tigers after harassing two women then assaulting a good Samaritan in New York in the early hours of October 16 2015.

NRL have backed their multi billion brand onto this man - dumb and dumber 😎

Every time Lodge is referenced in the media, these links will pop up

NRMA Insurance being hammered today on Twitter , don’t be surprised to see this being the catalyst for something to happen!

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Lodge has shown his true colours on more than one occasion. The Broncos obviously factored into the risk the fact they are easily the best club at keeping player atrocities out of the media.

The Donkeys are very good at carpets, they’ve got a heap of them lined up ready to go!!

Watching NRL on fox is pretty much propaganda to protect the lemmings that run the NRL. Tonight James Hooper vindicated and justified that this thug Lodge deserves another chance. This guy has already got some serious form apart from the heinous thing he did in NYC. When you consider that player like Carney cant get a go because Greenturd and his minions deem him unfit for our game. There have been so many cases where players with domestic violence have been allowed to continue, people who GBH charges allowed to play. The whole integrity of the game is in question right now and shows like NRL on fox are live Pravda in the way they just speak the party line. I really wish we had an independent show that debated issues like this and opinions were allowed, the footy show used to be like that and now that is watered down again to keep the NRL happy. Democracy in the game is important and there are too many agendas that keep us from all the truth. I find it sad that Manly don't have hardly any people in the mainstream media, I hope that changes soon!!

Must be pretty hard to bring the game into disrepute these days, its repute couldn't get any lower.
Repute | rɪˈpjuːt | noun [mass noun] the opinion generally held of someone or something; the state of being highly regarded.

 

[Captain Moondog]

Surely Hooper can't actually believe this ****...

"None of us are perfect. People make mistakes."...You're all going to die, umm sorry, I meant have a nice day

"Matt Lodge turns 23 in May this year. He is not trying to sidestep his mistakes.".....23 not 4½.

Go through the cost of his actions....

"A fortnight in Rykers Island prison in New York".......hardly a life sentence, the nine year old kid could be traumatized for life though.

"Community service in the US and Australia"....LOL

"Two years out of the NRL"....pffft

"When you consider all of the facts, Lodge has earned the right to make a football comeback with the Brisbane Broncos.

The ball is now in his court. He deserves a second chance, but not a third."....He deserves eight years in high security.

 

[manly al]

I was surprised that the U S authorities even allowed Lodge to leave the states taking into account the serious nature of his incident . Not too sure of the standards and guidelines that U S sporting codes for example may have towards such matters but surely they are not as lenient as the low bar policy and standard that the N R L have adopted in relation to Lodge .

Not once have i listened to Hooper and thought “he is onto something”. It’s either re-hashed news, poorly sourced ‘scoops’ or incoherent drivel as you have listed. Surprised he hasn’t been given a position in the NRL heirachy.

Matt Lodge turns minder and mentor for fellow bad boy James Roberts


Controversial prop Matt Lodge has been appointed the unofficial ‘minder’ of perennial problem child James Roberts - proof the Brisbane Broncos are convinced the former jailbird is a completely changed man.
Such is their confidence that Lodge has spent the past few months shadowing the troublesome Roberts.

The spin that we are currently seeing from reporters aligned to the NRL is sickening when it comes to this guy, Why is it the that the NRL move heaven and earth time and time again to placate the Donkeys? A little thing called money and TV ratings!!! Sick of their hypocrisy over this guy!!!

Meanwhile Gosh Bogan covers himself in glory once again, a bargain at $750,000 a season
STAR Sharks signing Josh Dugan has been caught up in another off-field drama before a ball has been kicked in the 2018 NRL season.
The Sunday Telegraph’s Phil Rothfield reported that Dugan was tossed out of Cronulla RSL last week for swearing and causing a scene in the poker machine area.

"RSL president Ian Bourke told The Sunday Telegraph that controversy magnet Dugan — who has played 12 games for Australia and 12 for NSW — was “carrying on like a real goose.”
When one of our female employees, who had no idea who he was, told him to stop, he said ‘who do you think you are?’
He is currently being minded and mentored by fellow bad boy Kim Jong-un.
