Lodge will spend an extended stint on the sidelines to repair a facial fracture

I had to bump this post of mine as I just found out what was the main basis for Slater to say what he did about some Roosters crowing about being the best team on paper. Apparently it came from a podcast that Brandon Smith was on where he apparently said something along those lines.

I'll take back what I said about slater somewhat but to paint the whole team as being cocky of what Smith has said on his own is still a bit rich.

As for Brandon, with all due respect mate, shut the hell up. For some reason more than usual this year (even more than when we were trying to threepeat) we are major targets for the media. Some of the article headlines are downright weird.

For example. "Gus Gould calls this an abomination of the game" ROOSTERS re-sign joseph sualii" That was the format for ninemsn.com. Totally unrelated but jammed right next to it.

Some pundits like johns prefer some players to have "no filter" but if Robbo was all about making the cheese into "a man" over homemade pizza to get his signature, this is just my 2 bob but i don't appreciate that talk especially when we are not walking the walk, round one loss to eventual wooden spooners or not.

This club needs to circle the wagons and go about their business of winning games, and celebrate on GF night.

Don't make me regret your signing Brandon, I was and still am a huge fan of Sam Verills.

Just my two bob anyway. Make me eat my words. Please.

Don't go around firing up the opposition.

That one hurt too...I'd forgotten I follow him on Instagram and he posted some photos of his first Titans game...sigh...please come back..
