Journeyman prop Matt Lodge is poised to sign for his fourth NRL club, with the Sydney Roosters reportedly close to securing his services for the remainder of the season.
Lodge, 27, is tipped to turn out for the Tricolours as early as this Friday against ladder leaders Penrith - as Trent Robinson's men look to leap back into the top eight.
Lodge, who quit the New Zealand Warriors last month, will offer some much needed mongrel to a forward pack which has struggled for much of the season.
Many tipped the Chooks to be premiership contenders ahead of round one, but consistency has been a glaring issue.
A number of key players such as Luke Keary, Victor Radley and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves have also all been injured.
Lodge played the first eight games of the year for the NZ Warriors but moved to Sydney to live on the northern beaches at Bayview.
