The Warriors now boast one of the most formidable front-row partnerships in the game with Matt Lodge and Addin Fonua-Blake posting huge numbers in round 18. Lodge finished atop the weekly VB Hard Earned standings with an index score of 92 in Sunday's gutsy loss to the Panthers, pushing through 80 minutes as a result of his team's high injury toll. And Fonua-Blake - who played 76 minutes - was only four points behind, ranking third with Eel Nathan Brown pipping him on 89. After gaining a mid-season release from the Broncos, Lodge has played two matches for the Warriors and looks to have been rejuvenated.
