I agree. Lodge is worse if anything. Regardless of wether the decision was right or not, it shows we have no power.
I think the biggest change need at the club is power within the NRL. It's no surprise the powerful clubs, like East, are at the top of the table year after year.

Scott rejected by NRL. No cheap centre for parra
Is that the case? Sucks if so. Lodge is different though?

More so loyal to those with figures behind them.
Were we even after Scott or do Eel ssupporters have a martyr complex
