Dual-threat enforcers offer hope in tough season

Marvin France

As the injury-hit Warriors attempt to snap a six-match NRL losing streak against South Sydney today, if there’s one thing that can boost belief it’s the form of their new-look front-row.

In just two games since Matt Lodge made the move from Brisbane, he and fellow enforcer Addin Fonua-Blake have already showed the makings of a formidable partnership and one coach Nathan Brown can build the squad around.

The pair virtually put the team on their backs during last week’s brave defeat to Penrith, keeping the secondplaced Panthers on the back foot for long periods while playing massive minutes as the Warriors battled on without a bench.
