Matt Lodge's bank loan - would you approve it?

[maxta]

Has copped a share and deservedly so.
Personally over it and now just see him as a bloke playing footy.
Where he is most lucky and got his best second chance, is the fact he is alive.
Could easily have gone to a home and scared parents enough, who in protecting their family pulled out a gun in those circumstances without question.

Of course I would otherwise he would turn up at my house and bash the cr@p out of me.

Does anyone else think that he looks to have the classic steroid enhanced physique. Would explain his past episodes

Reminds me of that Kennedy (?) Broncos player from a few years ago

Lets hope he is over his DVs, harrassment and assault solutions to personal problems

..... and he is a person of good character .....

And DCE is the root of all evil.

I'm waiting to hear what Whatnow and Willy think of this situation before I make any kind of judgement call.

They are still doing the sums.....

I would like to find one of these $1.6m unsecured loans too?

Id say the loan was organised through the courts through the bank.

Makes you wonder if the loan was secured on just the promise of more money or if the broncos have a contract in front of the courts to show his future income?

Either way, i suppose the thoroughbreds are in the background somewhere and that would make the banks sit up and take notice. No one would knock them back.

What could possibly go wrong?

 

[Loobs]

The simple fact of this matter, is that at any other club in this competition he would not have gotten a chance, with perhaps the exemption of both the Drizzle and/or Mutts.

If he’d been offered a contract by any other club there’s exactly zero chance Greenturd would have allowed him to play.

I mean I know that Todd Carney, for example, is a black belt d*ckhead. We ALL know this. But his “crimes” pale in comparison to what this peanut Lodge has done. And yet whilst he may eventually get a chance in the NRL, it will be with a Greenturd approved team only.

Typical, and breathtaking NRL hypocrisy at its finest.

The NRL is happy for you to beat the piss out of someone, just not yourself...

Lodge probably just explained he’s on $100k now but he’s about to get a pay rise to $300k, he’s just waiting on the paperwork. He’s a fine upstanding young man so I’m sure they just took his word for it. It’s not like banks are sticklers for proof of income when you apply for a loan, And if the Royal Commission has shown us anything the banks have been too conservative in their lending practices. Oh, wait...
