Next year I don't want Aitken in the back row other than to fill in to cover injuries.
Logic prevailsLodge free to play.

Lodge not guilty at judiciary and free to play
Warriors prop Matt Lodge is free to play in Sunday's last-round clash with the Titans after escaping a fourth suspension this year.www.nrl.com
I agree, I prefer him at centre and with our historic shakey edges on D we need itNext year I don't want Aitken in the back row other than to fill in to cover injuries.
If we can get the best out of Katoa, Murchie, Curran, maybe Ale, Harris can play there then there is no need for him.
Hopefully Berry, Pompey and Vailea make it hard for him to make the team as a centre.
How good would we be going if that were the case.
I’d love to see Ale given a chance at Lock but possibly question his aerobic stamina for the position.Next year I don't want Aitken in the back row other than to fill in to cover injuries.

David Lange or Tattoo would bring something different to the team but I wouldn't select them either. I've not seen the team improve when he's on the field - last week was evidence of this as was the previous two weeks.Because he brings something different to the Team.. hate him or like he still part of a struggling Club that continues to improved when he plays 📞
Wonder if Justin Morgan showed footage of Walsh getting caught high and getting straight up to play the ball and seasoned guys like Rapana staying down for pretty similar shots. James Graham made comment on it on nrl 360 and looks like it was noticed, the raiders tactics.Lodge free to play.

Struggling to remember. A key to the victory was the assistant coach defending him instead of a lawyer. They said the Warriors copied Ivan Cleary's example.Is this the first time a Warrior has beaten a charge at the judiciary?
Yeah totally agree, a former player/coach is going to be able to argue the technical aspects of the game far better than a lawyer. Good to see they’re adapting their approach like that.Struggling to remember. A key to the victory was the assistant coach defending him instead of a lawyer. They said the Warriors copied Ivan Cleary's example.
Reading the through the article Justin got really technical and the NRL lawyer couldn't match his expertise so there was only going to be one winner in that debate. Had Lodge use the regular Warriors lawyer we would have no doubt lost.
Probably a blue print for how we should approach all future challenges.
Edit - also want to add that Lodge avoiding adding to his rap sheet/future loading was as much of a victory as was making him available this weekend.

Well he won't be missed this weekend when they play the 18th man over him...so I hope they have a Go....David Lange or Tattoo would bring something different to the team but I wouldn't select them either.

In his last 8 games he's gained an average of 57m & made 18 of his 19 tackle attempts in 27 minutes of game time. He has also averaged either an error or penalty each game too. On the plus side he creates an offload each game.Because he brings something different to the Team.. hate him or like he still part of a struggling Club that continues to improved when he plays 📞
Personally, I think the key to victory was the fact that Harry Grant got off scott free and there was absolutely no way of denying his attempt was not premeditated.Struggling to remember.

True that. If it was possible (being in a bubble?) you would keep the result from the players. Play like your season depended on it. Good pressure situation for building resilience and a single win for them is the difference between 8th (equal on PD) and 10th.Titans motivation for the match to depend on sharks vs storm
If Titans have a chance at making the eight when they play us then the result will be a Titans victory.
Agree with your sentiment. Good first post if you are new to the site.Usual suspects like Nikorima and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak will have blinders as this game doesn't matter.
Can't wait to see Kodi elsewhere
