Biography

Matthew Lodge (born 31 May 1995) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer for the Redcliffe Dolphins in the Intrust Super Cup. He plays at prop and previously played for the Wests Tigers in the National Rugby League.

Playing career

Born in Sydney, New South Wales, Lodge played his junior football for St. Patricks Blacktown before being signed by the Penrith Panthers. He played for the Panthers' NYC team in 2012.

In September 2012, Lodge signed a contract with the Melbourne Storm starting in 2013. He played for the Storm's NYC team in 2013 and 2014. He was named at prop in the 2013 NYC Team of the Year.

Lodge was representing the NSW under-20s side when he was given a 3-week suspension after he was televised with the word "cunt" clearly written on his wrist strapping.

In June 2014, Lodge joined the Wests Tigers mid-season for the remainder of the season, joining their NYC squad. In Round 17 of the 2014 NRL season, Lodge made his NRL debut for the Tigers against his former team, the Penrith Panthers. He made four first grade appearances for the year. He was described as a "110kg battering ram," who was "certain to feature in the regular squad next season." Later in the year, he was chosen to participate in the NSW under-20s pathway camp.

On 19 October 2015, Lodge was sacked by the Tigers after being arrested in New York City. He is due back in court for sentencing in December after entering a guilty plea.
