Message: [QUOTE="barker, post: 2854562, member: 1830"] Something just doesn't make sense about the Lodge/Ese Ese contract debacle. It says in tonight's article that Bennett privately contacted the NRL a fortnight ago to try and register Lodge's contract before the 30th June. In other words the Broncos knew full well about the struggles and hardship Lodge was experiencing and they must have been talking through his options with him. When the NRL knocked back Lodge's registration before the June 30 deadline, Bennett must have known there was a possibility that Matt Lodge would have to walk away from rugby league. Why then, did Bennett end negotiations with Ese Ese so suddenly in the first week of July? Ese Ese's manager stated that he hadn't actually signed with Newcastle so Bennett could have asked Ese Ese's manager to wait a little bit longer in case the Broncos found they suddenly had Lodge's money left over and could have offered Ese Ese a little bit more money. How badly did they want to keep Ese Ese? [/QUOTE]
