Unpopular opinion alert.
Looking at this through playing ability, not fantasy scoring, TPJ, Haas and Lodge are just not that great.
TPJ – someone on the last thread nailed it. He’s erratic with his passing, frequently rushes out of the defensive line on the goal line to let in a try, nowhere near the big enforcer he thinks he is – plays one good game in every 5, loves a big shot on a small back but often goes missing when the going gets tough
Haas – robotic, also makes errors defending on the line more often than a top player should. Takes hit-ups well but rarely uses footwork to create doubt in the defensive line.
Lodge – lucky to not still be in jail for what he did in New York. An average prop at best but always seems only seconds away from a suspension. Look at the way he stood on Cook’s face earlier in this game. Another wannabe tough guy.
Seriously, if these three Broncos pack regulars were any good, surely they would be pushing for a top 8 spot? They lose every week. I wouldn’t go near any of them. Kev is right to get rid - they’ll be perfect at the Tigers.

I honestly haven't been paying attention to anything this week - was being serious, thought I saw one person post it earlier today.
Been a long, short week!

Nothing confirmed from Manly but I'd try to have a backup plan in place if you can

Makes me want to pull the trigger even more on Taupau if true.

Doesn't count, I heard they're bringing in the double jeopardy rule into the NRL

FWIW, I'd just like to say that tonight on the forum has been lots of fun. Just a nice feel good night, nice and chill.

I can see the Lodge and TPJ slights but Haas is one of, if not the best young props in the game. He is still just 21 years of age. Look at how good he was for NSW last week. Often brings in 2-3 defenders into a tackle and still gets quick PTBs

Well, if Haas gets suspended at least it’ll likely just be for Origin 2…

In years gone by, defenders would lead with shoulder in those congested collisions. Now they have to go front on = more head clashes

Good scores the last few weeks. On the up IMO.

You could drop any of them into a good side and theyd look fantastic.
Haas is a tier above though.

He would have 50% loading if charged on the crusher
How did he get charged for a crusher after a head clash though
