Losge will lead our pack. Thank goodness he’s back this week. He only 28 and as a prop he has 3 to 4 good years left in him. I hope he makes a good comeback and we resign him.
Lodge, you Monster

And who would want to move there, first you'd have to have some teeth removed and a full frontal lobotomy

He may not look it, but Lodge is only 28. Does that qualify as an "older player"?

There is no A.I. Just better computers
Yes but he's seen some ****.

Lodge had a solid game in his first game post injury. With more match fitness I expect him to be more dynamic and aggressive.
Plod, if all the other options are fit he is behind them all and needs match fitness in reserve grade
First game in 9 months, and in 43mins, he made 16 runs for 131m (43m post-contact), 2 tackle breaks, a faster play-the-ball than Nella, 23 tackles (2 misses, 0 ineffective), 0 errors, 0 infringements.
You're personal hatred of the lad clouds your footy judgement. When fit, he's clearly one of our best props. That's not an opinion mate
When fit is correct, he isn’t fit and was blowing very early into his stint, absolutely huge risk Seibold took to put him back on when the game was in the balance
Stats are like mini skirts, what they show is great, but what they hide is vital. The kick off returns are an easy 20 metres per run
That performance doesn’t put him above anything I have seen out of Paseka, Aloiai, Sipley, Brown or Bullemore this season, and if they are all available next week, he shouldn’t be keeping them out of first grade and getting some fitness down below. He can stay above Woods in the pecking order
Lodge was good in his comeback game nothing special but solid
It now creates more competition for the prop position
Paseka , Aloia Sipley , Lodge , Brown and Bullemor, Can’t see Woods getting back in unless for injury or suspension
A back row with O’kalatu Waddell and Ben T to choose from it’s a good position to be in going forward

Sipley will be at least a few weeks so he definitely holds his spot. With Brown and Aloiai coming in for Woods and Matto he'll have the chance to slowly build up his minutes off the bench.

I’ll credit Navjot Sidhu for that one, like to throw it in wherever I can

For a guy coming back after an ACL with no match fitness, he was very good. Not perfect, but very good. Obviously he was blowing. I thought Seibs tactic with the middle rotation was clever and it’s not something he will do going forward, but helped us cover for the loss of three very good middles.
Lodge was good and got through the game.
Lodge did well to play 43 mins in first game back. Looks like he’s carrying a bit of extra weight so will be better for the run.
