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. They effectively pressure the NRL to accept signings etc. it is currently too easy for the NRL to say no to us. Unless that changes I can't see us pushing for a premiership.
"We've let go/lost RCG, Dylan Brown, Gutho, Sivo and Lane. All of which were on significant money. 3.5 million worth of talent. Who the fuck have we actually signed?"

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

Had Roosters wanted Scott i reckon something could have gotten over the line.
The management of the N R L we know are Parramatta hatters and it's always been that way .
More so loyal to those with figures behind them.
Were we even after Scott or do Eel ssupporters have a martyr complex
