Message: [QUOTE="Nightwatchman, post: 3214692, member: 9057"] It was written by Paul Kent in the Courier Mail and the snippet is below. People can deride the source if they must. The problem is some people deride the source and suggest they have a better source which is themselves. I'm not suggesting you believe everything in the media, but I am suggesting sometimes every source can't just be dismissed either because you don't like the journalist. [I] "The troublesome one is Matt Lodge. [URL='https://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/nrl/teams/broncos/nrl-2020-paul-white-says-matt-lodge-still-in-line-for-captaincy/news-story/ab924b42dfc54e7657cd43141715d337']Lodge at one point was being positioned to captain the club [/URL]two seasons ago even though Anthony Seibold was being told by anyone he spoke to that Lodge was not a Broncos captain. The board had said no, his assistants said no, yet Seibold pressed ahead. If ever there was a caption for how the Broncos went wrong this was it. Seibold’s push was a recognition that Lodge was the dominant character in the playing group. He held great sway over the players, as if that was enough. It wasn’t, of course. Lodge is anti-authority. He is a strong personality and a tremendous player but even this season his influence over the group began to steer them wrong. He was a strong voice on how the team should train and how it should play, what weights they should do, how much training was enough, when they needed a day off, how much air should go in the ball … When his path with Seibold began to differ Lodge should have recognised it as any player would and bowed to the boss but instead it became a burr all season. Walters doesn’t coach that way. That said, he worked briefly with Lodge in 2018 and found him agreeable enough so, pressed on Monday on the name that keeps coming up, Walters did not say Lodge will be among the changes — but admitted he is on his to-do list. “I’m going to sit down with him and see where he is at,” Walters says. Lodge is destined to become the first test case at the new-look Broncos."[/I] [URL='https://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/nrl/teams/broncos/troublesome-matt-lodge-on-chopping-block-as-kevin-walters-cuts-brisbane-broncos-roster/news-story/c4347635c9aa69f5ecadf2b41de367bf']Matt Lodge on chopping block as Kevin Walters cuts Brisbane Broncos roster | The Courier Mail[/URL] [/QUOTE]
