At the end of the day I do beleive in second and even third chances as I myself have had mine, but I do not beleive lodge should ever be able to be looked up to by kids.

How can a man bash a father and severely frighten and cause mental damage to a man, woman and CHILD and then be able to run around a stadium with a ball in front of tens of thousands of people including children and have children cheer for and applaud him when he runs with a ball.

This is a bulls*** example to be setting for our children

I don't care what his rehabilitation is as far as I'm concerned he has blown his chance of being a role model for children and shouldn't and doesn't get another one in my book!!!!!!!

Nah , bro Bahahahahahaha. Trust me , been in plenty of court houses . Pardon me for not recognising we had a learned friend on the forum. You just seem to be very judgemental and negative, that was my point .

Just want to check I have got this correct. There is 18 startoons in the set. With 5 different versions. The basic acetate then a yellow, green , blue and pink version of each. Also are all the colour variants only found in starters or some found in standard packs. Thanks for any help

Ive been to about 8 different newsagents between chermside and sunny coast and same result. No starters or folders for NRL only AFL.

No doubt you have, hence your stance on not taking accountability for ones actions.

Nah just a realist and know that people with lives make mistakes. Some people live a sheltered existence and don’t get it . You know the stats on people getting sent to jail and then returning. I’m sure you do as you seem to have a opinion or have heard ”rumours” on almost every subject that is posted on here . Not sure why you attack everything ? Might need to put a lampshade on your head ?Cheers

Nope speak from personal experience, you would have no idea what I have seen. If you care to look back at my original point it wasn’t anything even close to what you are suggesting. In fact it was near opposite, of course people deserve second chances if they earn them. In my opinion Lodge hasn’t, others have. To deserve a second chance I feel someone must take full responsibility for their actions. He interview was anything but, it was contradicting and at times self serving.

Trust me, I get it, I live in a very real world. So much so I think you will find that the vast majority would feel he hadn’t yet earned his second chance.

Lastly this is a public forum. Opinions are how it runs and I don’t feel having an opinion is attacking anything. Obviously you don’t agree and nor do you have to because I will still have an opinion if I want regardless if you agree or disagree.

So what do actually want him to do? He hasn’t got the money to pay it back at this point. He was declared bankrupt after his criminal case. What would please you?

What should he do then to prove he’s sorry ? And where is he supposed to find a ridiculous amount of 1.6 mill from? I watched the interview and not sure what you want ? As for most people , they did a pole on triple m Sydney yesterday and it was 50/50 if he should be allowed to return . The blokes done 2 years of rehab and counseling and spent 2 weeks in Rikers Island . Tougher jail then anything Australia has got to offer ? . What injuries did they receive ? Nightmares ? Bet 1.6 would make them disappear lol. What was contradicting about saying he forgets parts of a bender ? He was obviously off chops and had severe mental health issues.Should Andrew Johns be allowed to be involved in the game ?

Take full responsibility. The debt is an issue of course but it is the lack of responsibility that concerns me. My first post was that he couldn’t recall as he blacked out but next question he disagrees with facts presented to the court.

Which is it? Do you recall or not? If you do fine, then admit to your actions that were clearly visible on the CCTV and don’t blame other aspects.

Maybe some lectures at schools, lectures to women’s shelters about violence. Because of Brisbane’s profile he has a great shot at turning this around.
