    Warriors coach Nathan Brown is taking full responsibility for the Matt Lodge saga following the club's demoralising 24-16 NRL loss to the Knights

    Warriors coach Nathan Brown is taking full responsibility for the Matt Lodge saga following the club's demoralising 24-16 NRL loss to the Knights

    - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

    The departing prop caused a stir this week when he received a $700,000 payout after walking out on the franchise, reportedly due to a run-in with Warriors owner Mark Robinson.

    Brown says if anyone's to blame for Lodge leaving - it's him.
