All I can add to this is bodies in motion creates doubt. We do none of it.

Our lack of support play is laughable
I agree, if I was doing preseason for this side for next year, it would be all about effort areas. Support play, kick chase, covering in defence when the ball has gone past you, that kind of thing. We have enough football in this team that if we get this stuff right, we'll be miles ahead of where we are now.

Basic indicators of how cohesive the playing group is and how much they’re fighting for the cause

I asked Hoops in his weekly Q & A column how likely Lodge was, looks like we are just trying to figure out what Bronco's will kick in. If we get him for under $500k a year we win for mine.

Knights say no to signing controversial prop Matt Lodge
"We won't be signing him."
Knights pull out of negotiations to sign Lodge, partially due to fan backlash.

If that is the actual reason then it’s a bigger result than the player not coming in. Goes to show at least some brains are working up there and the broader impact to the dressing room and fans is considered more important than picking up a cheap prop.

Plus as Krusty said, spend the money on some FG quality outside backs that can get us out of our own half. Just look at To’o and The Fox last night. Kenny will fit the bill

Done and dusted think he would have added a bit but the fans have spoken

Double edged sword ... I can keep supporting the Knights ... but on the other hand, I have to keep supporting the Knights. 
Well done Knights on doing the right thing, we don't need his sort at our club, especially in a position we're already well stocked in.

Personally I don’t think Lodge’s history had much to do with it from the club’s perspective. I suspect we and the Broncs simply couldn’t agree how much they’d tip in for his salary for the next few years. After it fell over, the club comes out and says fan backlash was a key reason it didn’t go through. Sure!

Yep for sure. Phil was singing a very different tune before.

Signed with the Warriors.
Broncos to pay close to $1mil of his salary for the next 2.5 years.
Looks like the story about the fan backlash stopping the Knights from signing him may be true. Broncos have covered a large chunk of his contract.
