The Queensland winner tried to get inside Lodge in the eighth minute but Lodge’s left arm hit him in the jaw, then the back of his head hit the ground as he fell. “He’s upset right now. He wants to come back and do well at the club, especially after Origin, but we will go through this week-long process,” Knights coach Adam O’Brien told reporters at a post-match media conference. “He already has a partner [of these] but I’m more worried about how upset he is right now. He was quite emotional and he felt like he let ev
