Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

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.
Out of the available / pushed to market props of prehaps, Lodge, Tapine, Tapau, McLean, Hass, Thompson, Klemmer. Lodge is in the top 3.
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.
 
Let's not forget that Matt Lodge was contracted to us when he went on his New York rampage. Would be terrible optics to sign him again. We would get slammed by the media. Not good enough of a player to warrant bringing those skeletons out of the closet.
Was already stood down prior for his intimidation stuff wasn’t he?

JTJ wont be resigned will most likely go into mentorship/ambassador role at the club
Thomas Mikaele is headed home to queensland
Tamou is looking at either a 1 year extension or retirement depends how his body feels
Jock Madden is being looked at as a partner for Munster
 
I don’t wanna get stuck into dreamland

But Angus Crithcon and Joe Tapine would be wow

Young and dynamic
Joffa would still be starting lock.

Seyfarth eased in via bench, Tamou backup and Simpkin adding dynamic spark to API’s work
