Former Warriors prop Matt Lodge has reportedly signed with the Roosters following his messy exit with the New Zealand club.
According to the Daily Telegraph, the 27-year-old will join the Roosters and receive around $110,000 in the final six to eight weeks of the 2022 season.
Lodge was abruptly released by the Warriors last month just a day before the club was due to take on the St George Illawarra Dragons. It was later revealed he had also received a costly payout – reported to be around $700,000 – upon leaving the club.
The Warriors front office said the falling out between the two parties had stemmed from an argument between Lodge and Warriors owner Mark Robinson in a pub late last year. Lodge later disputed that story.
