Message: [QUOTE="ostin86, post: 3080347, member: 2267"] So I took your advice and watched the whole video. I would be lying if I said that my opinion on Lodge has not somewhat shifted. A couple of things struck me about the video. Firstly, it was a bit of a grind to get through. The hosts were not overly engaging and it was fairly obvious that the show is a bit of a work in progress. More importantly, what kept me interested was listening to what Lodge himself had to say. I found him to be very honest and genuine in all his responses. I would agree that at the very least he is taking great strides in trying to turn his life around. I can honestly say that I see him in a different light. You mentioned that I should keep a close eye on what JYY had to say about Lodge. I did and I found that I put more stock into what Lodge had to say about himself, rather than what Jharal was sprouting. In regards to him being captain, he certainly seems the kind of guy who could offer some good leadership to our younger players. Lessons learnt from his own mistakes will prove to be valuable advice to any troubled player who is willing to listen. I think he may have earnt the right to some sort of leadership role within the team, just not the captaincy. And I definitely agree with people who are pointing out that being thrust into that role might actually set back his development. I know he said he would accept it....but does he even want it? Lastly and unfortunately for Lodge I still think he will have to live with consequences of his troubled past. Sure he can't remember what happened in the US but it does excuse the fact that it's something he will have to live with. And i still struggle with the claims of DV commited against his former girlfriend. I have seen first hand how that kind of thing can very negatively affect the life of the victim, as I'm sure many people on this forum have also. So yeah still a no for me, but I am comfortable with supporting him in some kind of leadership role within the club but more importantly supporting him as a Brisbane Bronco. Apologies for the wall of text. [automerge]1569556923[/automerge] Just seen this. Might want to read my last reply mate. [/QUOTE]
