Matt Lodge New York thread

@Yossarian said:
Let me preface my comments by noting Lodge is a dangerous idiot of major proportions and that he's probably going to get into more trouble going forward.

Having said that the video and story are largely being hyped by the lawyers trying to get cash out of him. It's not unusual that his family and friends would be happy he's dodged a gaol sentence and is back in Australia. Is he drunk in the video? Does he make fun of tbe victims or tbe the judicial process? Not based on the accompanying article.

Again I agree he's a violent thug with serious problems and he's no doubt going to find trouble his whole life. I just think this particular installment is a bit overhyped.

Agree. They can't even say for sure when it was filmed.

gee the two main guys in the video (singing along) look like the Fafita brothers.

Icon I think that you are 100% correct, I watched this video and it definitely looks like David and Andrew.
Wonder what Buzz has to say about this? Most probably come out as 2 ex Tiger players!!!!!!!!

Matt Lodge was involved with the Fifita brothers in the junior rugby league referee scandal last year so he obviously knows the boys!!

Coming out of a cupboard to raucous applause doesn't show much remorse to me…surely that is taking the pee...

Honestly who really cares, we sacked him and his behaviour will be his undoing eventually anyway

The trouble is that except for his family and near family nobody else really seems to care about him. His friends in the video don't seem to really care.

I wonder if , in years to come, he looks back and he realises, " I was a goober", and threw away a opportunity of a lifetime. One that many can only dream of.

That's the part that annoys me with these footballers that can't stay out of trouble, they are getting paid really good money to play a sport that they love… I couldn't even imagine how many kids and even grown ups that would love to get paid to play rugby league for an NRL team

I really fear it will be the worst of worst case scenarios before this guy MIGHT wake up to himself
He'll kill someone one day

Unfortunately Ink, you may be right. I've said it before, this kid has some major mental health issues and will probably always be like this. An NRL career is the last thing he needs.

But how is he off the grog? Quite okay? Then problem could be solved. Only guessing.

"Believed to be", right?

Believed to be means "we don't know for sure". It's the same as "as far as I know" means "I think so but I haven't checked for sure".

"Wests Tigers are believed to be a very good football side".

How does a litigation team get their hands on a target's party video stock anyway?

Because they go trawling social media accounts of people close to him looking for just such things.

Keeping him off the grog keeps his inhibitions in check, that's all. There could be other stimulus that could trigger him other than alcohol.

What's he doing in a cupboard? 😱pen_mouth:

In the initial attack in USA ..police found Lodge hiding in a closet..probably nothing in relation to this vid…but just found it odd...

Then again the whole thing is bizzarre...
