Cause it would, except I don't think the budget will allow lemonade...water with vegetable dye possibly.

I never wanted packer. Overrated and over paid.
I learnt a lot about my own beliefs with Lui. Gave him a second chance after the first time. But a Leopard cant change their spots. Should have been sacked the first time and never allowed the privilege in NRL again.

He’s no worse than Lodge.
That’s only for struggling teams , Rooters are special

Packer served punishment which sets him apart from others imo. I don’t agree or forget what he did though
He averaged 125m per game this year, which is better than any of our forwards. We have a serious lack of go forward and Lodge would help to provide some. Of course he won’t solve our problems, but 2-3 forwards who can roll over the advantage line regularly will sure help.
Of course cost is a factor but at $100k for the rest of the season I would have him.

Exactly. Pretty similar players. The difference is Lodge for some reason has been massively overrated and overpaid.

I did not make any such insinuation. You did from me saying I don’t want him. And I think it’s plainly obvious why. But you and a couple of others can keep on getting upset coz someone has a different opinion. I will stick to mine. So you can call me ridiculous or say I know nothing about football and blah blah. But it’s still a No to lodge for me. But hey let’s get the band back together. Hopa, Simona, Tandy, JT, Packer they should make all the diff.

He’s average.

I agree. The problem is though this year is a write off already. We are looking forward to next year and further.
I don't think he is worth it.
If you get him on a cheap contract that is a completely different story.

Packer NO. Lui, yes.

They are desperately trying to remain relevant. The Eastern Suburbs is quite a vanilla area in which to live. Exclusive yes but how many Vaucluse, Double Bay or even Potts Point households would follow the Roosters at the best of times? Even less if they are not winning. A fickle market in which to operate with what 2 local juniors?

So imagine what the mental state of our leaders are like after 12 years. 🙂

Yeah I agree. Every situation is different and everyone will have their own moral compass for different indiscretions. I was more commenting on his football. I can’t believe we paid in the reported $600s for him.

You are correct to point out that a player with Lodge's capability is something we miss ATM.
But, remember that Lodge was a rejected by the Storm, WT, Broncos, and Warriors. When he was with the WT ha was arrested and charged in the US for his violent behaviour and resisting the police.
I found it interesting that the NRL close their moral eyes on Lodge, and at the same time attack and cancel Falau. The NRL certainly do not know how to spell HYPOCRACY!

From https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/news-2...ah-pezet/0e7ee259-4444-43d5-8903-9b8857b25142
An experienced forward with more than 200 top-grade games to his name at the Warriors, Panthers, Tigers and Salford, 32-year-old Taylor is a tackling dynamo and a fine role model off the field.
He has played the past two seasons with Salford, where he has captained the club, and has several Super League clubs chasing him but would prefer to return to the NRL to finish his career.
"I feel I still have something to offer and would love to come back to the NRL," Kiwi-born Taylor told me.
Taylor isn't your average footballer - he is training to become a commercial airline pilot once his playing days are over.
I'd say yes; he gave us great service and we are lacking in his position. Deserves to retire a Tiger!

I would say no because even though he tries hard he has little impact during the game and knows how to get penalised more than most.We need grunt and impact and he has neither

Yes you did as your previous post clearly shows so own the absolutely ridiculous thing you both said and tried imply. You claimed that Lodge never lead us to a finals whilst he was here as a rookie which no one claimed despite your absurd attempt at shifting the argument.
And if you think Lodge is average with 125m per game and bending the line, then I can’t imagine what you think of our joke of a pack. Not to mention that the Roosters don’t seem to think he’s average but I’ll let you keep deluding yourself.
That’s fine that it’s a no Lodge from you. But be honest as to the reason why which is that you think your personal experiences should dictate which player the club signs regardless of what they can contribute to the team.
Loved him as a player. Just think the game may have passed him by now, although I havnt been watching him play lately.
