Out of the available / pushed to market props of prehaps, Lodge, Tapine, Tapau, McLean, Hass, Thompson, Klemmer. Lodge is in the top 3.With Tamou and Mika moving on, Lodge for the right price could be good business.
Taking away his off field history. His on field efforts have been consistent:
121 mtrs, 43 post contact mtrs & 2 offloads a game averages over last 2yrs.
His tackle efficiency is around the 90% & his error rate (handling/penalties) aren't high.
He has aggression which we really lack outside of Musgrove in the forwards as well.
Wouldn't be against it and TBH would prefer Lodge over Thompson as well.
Family in Penrith area. Tigers did support him through the New York drama I’m pretty sure, didn’t leave him completely out to dry despite no longer being contracted to the club.
