I discriminate indiscriminately
Made a couple of important pressure relieving runs last night… as good as he has played for us but I still feel like that is his ceiling these days (and we need more come finals)…

Both Lodge and Sio have been terrific for us last few games. I don't think either have hit their ceiling. With more fitness and no injuries over next 7 weeks they will only get better. Love to see both of them run out for us in the GF. We just got to get there!!!
Hope we keep him for 2026, def worth the $$$

I was a TKO sceptic, believing that his contributions would be serviceable at best. I posted that his effort against Souths was on another level to that of previous games and now he’s backed it up with his best performance of the season.
He’s a bit slower than his Roosters years but like JWH showed in his twilight years, a forward leader that shows others the way is invaluable.

Yes it's a massive influence in any big game. Lodge played well also and not far behind TKO so having both guys lead the way for us will be invaluable over next few weeks. One of the main reasons I am optimistic about our chances going forward. We saw the impact of an experienced prop recently in SOO with big Papa. Huge!!

Definitely has been one of the most consistent performers this season with his all round input and his experience factor can not be downplayed as well .
Would expect every effort to keep him on for 26 .
Throw in Ola and Paseka if he can somehow be available and match ready in a possible final 's tilt at seasons end and does add a different dimension in the positive sense to ramp up the competitive level .

A couple of his (Mat) runs on tired legs were wonderful to see.
Didn't go missing and he's not a top line prop but really is putting in.
Glad he's turned his life around.
Looks like dads Army when all fit and firing can match it with any pack..
I really do think they themselves need to believe it and work for each other.
DCE needs to lead and we are a good chance to beat anyone.
Let's see what sort of legacy he wants to leave.. I will say this much if he is worried about his legacy and wants to lead he will do it.
He's super selfish and that will drive him.
Exactly what I thought last night. Tough and relentless. We have not had a prop like that since Joe.
Can we produce that level of performance consistently? That has been an issue for us. Boy I hope they can make a big run into the semis.
