Angus re-signs, Turpin and Paulo signed

Great news!!

Since his departure from the Warriors, Lodge has hit some fine form and told The Daily Telegraph he can't see himself in any other jersey in 2023.

“I plan to be there next year,” Lodge said.

“I haven't spoken about it before but I will be at the Roosters next year.

“I really enjoyed the end of the season, so I don't really want to be anywhere else.

“I haven't even reached out and looked anywhere else to see if there is any interest, I'm loving it at the Roosters and I hope to be coached by ‘Robbo' (Robinson) next year.”

“The money doesn't bother me. If I have to cop a pay cut to be there, that's what I will do because I'm learning so much at the club.

“As a player, that's the most important thing.

“The way Nick Politis and Trent (Robinson) looked after me and welcomed me, I want to be a part of that team and if the Roosters can fit me in and make me a part of the team again, that would be great.

“I'm not on much at the Roosters but money isn't a factor for me next year, I'm keen to keep learning from some of the best players in the game.”

I was stoked when the Roosters signed Lodge & I really enjoyed that read.
It doesnt sound like the Roosters have to do much to keep him, he's basically said that money is not a problem & he wants to be coached by Robbo.
There must be something severely wrong if the Roosters dont re-sign him.
The Chooks need him badly.

Hope you’re right! I know some aren’t keen on Allan but at the right price, he will provide great depth in the backs.

Exactly

Good thing to read about Lodge, I think JWH may very well finish up at the end of next year so the money will be there to lock him in long term on decent money after that.

At the end of 2020 he signed a 2 year extension so off contract - not certain to be extended by the sounds of it as he hasn't progressed as they had hoped or expected.

Naufahu Whyte was extended to 2024

Whyte never plays first grade.

Whyte never plays first grade.

He played lock for most of last season too. Is that because they want to develop skills in other positions or because they don't think he's going to make it as a second rower?

Thats because he is still on 700k from the warriors for 2023.

2024 however..... he will want a lot more.
