Message: [QUOTE="Dee, post: 3019072, member: 2254"] I'm probably going to get roasted for this but IMO, I don't rate Lodge as highly as most people on here. Why? It's mostly to do with his defense and his penalty rate. Lodge can tackle but he also arm grabs and misses alot of tackles. Facts. Check the stats. He needs to be much better especially since he's defending up the middle. He's terribly slow at marker. He'll make a tackle, kinda fall off the tackle and this allows the player with the ball a chance did a quick play the ball. Once the quick play the ball is happening, he's barely square at marker and he's offside. He's slow laterally. Same goes for Offa but lodge is worse IMO. Lodge can bend the line and get a semi quick play the ball, but he's not useful at much else. He gives away too many penalties, not to mention drops balls he honestly should be catching. I like lodge and I'm happy he's got his life sorted off the field, but i just don't think he's all that on the footy field. We need mobile towards who can maneuver quick at the ruck (blair, mcguire etc) and who can defend well. The raiders will expose our slow ruck defense and eat us for breakfast if we don't get this sorted. [/QUOTE]
