What can we do with Lodges $$$

1\. Why not just have some spare $$$ in the kitty.
2\. Can you spend it on the junior teams, so they are well equipped ?

1\. A rainy day or perhaps a mid-year player transfer..
2\. Lodge was a contracted NRL player …his money was coming out of the Clubs Salary Cap allocation ...the money from the salary cap can only be spent on players salaries...funding for the junior teams comes from Wests Ashfield and Wests Cambo it has nothing to do with the Top 25 Salary cap contracted players and could not be diverted as such...

Get soap for the toilets at Leichhardt…

Well that's just crazy talk.

I heard the DA for the soap dispensers is stalled at council level

Yeah original plan called for a hands free dettol dispenser but council will only approve a used cake of imperial leather.

See what we get for aiming too high.
Anyway don't we own some brown paper bags full of cash, they're always sure to work.
After all , this is a Council.

Docker retires due to knee injury

This is insane. The amount of players retiring young due to repeated injury now seems really prevalent, moreso than it ever was.

Maybe I am just paying more attention than I used to, but it does seem as though more kids are retiring than there ever were.

I don't know whether it had anything to do with his retirement but I think Docker has also had multiple concussions.

Wasn't it Nigel Plum that was the one with the chronic concussions? I think the reason a lot of young blokes are pulling the pin on their careers through injury CB is that they can see how the older blokes have suffered post-career through old injuries ie: barely being able to walk with mangled knees.?

AT the ripe old age of 24, Adam Docker has been forced to retire.

Having continually overcome the odds, from a coma to multiple concussions, Docker has always prided himself on his ability to fight his way out of the most difficult situations.

But after just four seasons in the NRL, during which he was discussed for Australian Test honours, the Penrith forward has reached his breaking point.

His body, more specifically his left knee, has let him down.

That’s why just three months before his 25th birthday, Docker’s been forced to hang up his boots.

It wasn’t even a choice. The decision was made for him.

With no cartilage left in his knee, the bones have been grinding against each other all year.

Even the most basic of tasks, like walking to the shops, leaves him in agony.
