THE NRL has made it clear to Broncos prop Matt Lodge that it won’t register a new contract unless it includes compensation for the victims of his New York rampage, The Sunday Telegraph reports.

Lodge owes $1.6 million to the victims he terrorised during a drunken rampage in the US on October 16, 2015.

He avoided jail time by pleading guilty to a reduced charge and was sentenced to work in a Sydney soup kitchen, undergo anger management treatment and other court ordered demands.

His devastated victims then sued him in a civil case.

Lodge’s Broncos contract runs out at the end of the season and the team is keen to sign him for more than the $85,000 he currently rates, with other clubs courting him.

The code’s chief executive Todd Greenberg has refused to register the contract until he sees written repayment plan, the paper reports.

“If he (Lodge) has the capacity to start making payments then I would expect that to happen,” Greenberg said.

“It will be up to the parties to negotiate the details but I want to see the intent to start paying.”

The club said it was happy to work the compensation repayment plan into any new contract.

“If the NRL have decreed that there must be a payment plan, we as a club will support Matt and we will support that process,” Brisbane CEO Paul White said.
