Anyone want to guess who?

No guesses, thanks.

Why do Broncos players manage to not get thrown to the media wolves when they do something wrong

My only guess is a reserve grader on a million dollars a season. therefore freeing up enough salary cap to sign a homesick Josh Papalli for $250k a season.

Video says that it’s a forward. Not James Roberts

Heard who it supposedly is this morning. Assuming it doesnt get swept under the rug (it will) Lodge is looking good for a bench spot. What a team culture they're building, one **** out another comes in.

The Courier Mail this morning has it as our old friend Tevita Pangai Jr, I'm afraid.

Adding to this news.....

I can also reveal that former Raiders player Kevin Walters has been accused of ‘falsely impersonating a sports media personality’.

Outrageous that some clubs get Commonwealth taxpayer funds to build something like this... when others are denied.

Broncos at it again...

Nothing to see here.

Is that why the NRL is bringing in a general spend cap. Broncos get their stuff bought for them so it doesn’t count and they can have a leg up

Matt Lodge’s victims staggered by footballer’s lack of remorse

THE New York family terrorised by Brisbane Broncos forward Matthew Lodge say it is heartbreaking he is continuing with his life and will be held as a role model for young Australian rugby league fans while failing to show any remorse or pay the $1.6 million in damages ordered by a US civil court.

They were also upset by remarks made by NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg this week alleging discussions were taking place to conclude the matter.

Surely the nrl should be garnishing his wages to pay this debt?????

Under the special salary cap the Broncos work under MLodge earns $7-67 a week.

It's not really up to the NRL to manage his debt. However they should be asking how remorseful he is if he refuses to pay anything and has his management painting him as a victim.

To me the interesting thing will be the precedent the NRL has set here and if Hayne ends up in the same situation. The NRL can't just sit on the sidelines if he is, there will be a massive boycott of the game if they do.

The victims lawyers would need to get the ball rolling on that one.

Matt Lodge really doesn't look like a credible interview, does he?

Roger Kenworthy · Post by **Roger Kenworthy** » March 7, 2018, 7:09 pm

Who cares about the victims. Greenberg got the warm fuzzies.

Post by **greeneyed** » March 7, 2018, 7:36 pm

Lodge got a soft interview. Greenberg got some tougher questions... but not as tough as he deserved. This is an absolute disgrace that the NRL has let this bloke play.

How many mistakes does Greenberg get before Peter Beattie says... we need someone else?

Greenberg's approach on TPAs is very poor... It is time to get this fixed... but no, he's only interested in dispelling media criticism... just enough.

RTW · Post by **RTW** » March 7, 2018, 7:49 pm

Didn’t see the interview but interested to know if Sampson asked if he intends to pay compensation?

It would be nicely followed up by and if so why did you take minimum wage at the Broncos when the knights offered you $400K?

What are the chances of any payments the Broncos make on Lodges behalf being included in the salary cap? I know, I know it's ridiculous for me to expect them to be held to the same rules as other clubs.

It is a question that must be asked of the NRL.

But I agree... very unlikey they'll charge it to the Broncos' cap.

Will you raise it with the NRL during your weekly conference call GE?

They don't seem to pay any attention to me gerg.

scotchberry · Post by **scotchberry** » March 22, 2018, 8:48 pm

Knocking back a $400,000k pa from the Knights certainly hasn’t done him any favours.

Will be interesting how this plays out.

The realist in me stays that the Bronco’s will come up with some “quiet” money themselves and just pay the family to make it go away.

However the minute that the victims/victims lawyers release a statement or say anything in regards to payment being received questions will be all over the place.

Even a settlement that requires parties not to make comment will raise massive media attention as there ain’t no way you can make any sort of settlement on $100,000pa when you owe $1.6 mil

Post by **greeneyed** » March 22, 2018, 8:54 pm

Any such payment needs to be counted to the Brisbane Broncos salary cap.

scotchberry · Post by **scotchberry** » March 22, 2018, 10:57 pm

Cue any day now the front page of the Courier Mail will read that Matt Lodge’s great start to the season has seen him being offered an upgraded contract extension of $500,000pa with the money left over from Adam Blair going to the Warriors.
