Broncos Player Movement and Rumours 2016

[OHBRAD]

Yep, absolute rubbish.

Oh its happening. .. just be patient !!

Doesn't look like it will happen, at least not for 2017.

Everyone keeps saying hunt needs to play behind a dominant pack to unleash his true potential. So what's the point of signing napa at the expense of hunt? We need them both in the same team.

 

[Danoz Direct]

I don't want us to be getting rid of Hunt unless there is a better option already signed or coming through and there isn't.

Definitely need to keep Hunt for this year and if somehow we have a better option for half back in 2018 than we can let him go.

I still have faith in Hunt, but this is definitely is his make or break year.

That stupid link tried to scam me so I think you have your answer.

It's also a rehash of a courier mail article (IIRC) about Napa's alleged homesickness and updated with the Benji signing information...

Depending on a few things I'd suggest downloading Malware bytes and decent Anti Virus program mate. For starters anyway.....

Or get a Mac... There were a couple of redirects on the site, but nothing harmful.

Sure, but can you right click??

 

[Kyall]

Just read on the courier mail that Ryan James is about to sign a $2 million contract with titians.

Sure, but can you right click??

Last time I checked there were 4 different ways to right click on a Mac but the easiest is just to hold the control button and click the mouse as normal...

 

[Kimlo]

You could always right click with a BYO mouse, and if we're being petty, who introduced the mouse to the consumer market? Yes, I'm aware that Xerox may have conceived it.

Apple mice have always been abominations. For a company that's introduced so many UI breakthroughs they've never managed to make a decent mouse. I genuinely prefer the $2 bargain bin mice.

The fact the 'easiest' option takes 2 hands to perform boggles my mind.

Unless we're signing Steve Jobs, and someone to do all the work while Jobs gets hailed as a visionary by hipster losers who wouldn't recognise a NAND gate if it fucked their mother, does it really matter which second-rate proprietary OS you prefer?

 

[Sproj]

Steve Jobs is our new signing?

Yaaaay. Mac's suck. The people behind the marketing are geniuses because they have certainly nailed the art of separating pretentious tossers from their money.

 

[GCBRONCO]

If we are going to go off topic we may as well go all the way.

Xerox did. With the Alto.

Alright lads, lets bring it back on track.

MATT Lodge has outlined plans to resurrect his NRL career, possibly at Wayne Bennett’s Broncos, as the controversial prop embarks on his road to redemption in Queensland.
[/COLOR]
In his first interview since signing with Intrust Super Cup grand finalists Redcliffe, Lodge opened up to The Sunday Mail about the year from hell that landed him in a US prison.
It has been 382 days since Lodge was arrested at gunpoint during a wild night out in New York.
He spent time in the notorious Rikers Island jail and faced 25 years behind bars after being charged with criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and assault and menace.
But after the US Attorney’s office cleared Lodge to return to Australia, the 21-year-old has spent the past 12 months trying to rebuild his life — and his rugby league career.
A basic one-year deal with Redcliffe is Lodge’s beacon of hope.
This week, the former Storm and Wests Tigers bookend will arrive in Queensland. The move north is cathartic in every sense.

Lodge was nearly jailed for 25 years in the US.The NRL is currently refusing to register Lodge until he can prove he is a “fit and proper person” to return to rugby league’s premier competition.
But the 120kg enforcer hopes a drama-free stint at the Dolphins, a feeder-club to the Broncos, can eventually lead to an NRL renaissance.
“My initial goal is to do the right thing and play good football for Redcliffe, but I would love nothing more than getting back into the NRL,” Lodge said.
“If I do the right thing by the game and Wayne Bennett or the Broncos wanted to give me a chance, I would appreciate that.
“I know there’s no guarantees. I will train for Redcliffe and play for Redcliffe.
“I had some options to stay in Sydney, but I feel that off the field going to Queensland is good for me.
“With what I’ve gone through, it’s not just about football. I need to behave and be a normal citizen. I can’t afford to do anything wrong. I want to change people’s thoughts on what I’m like as a person.”
Bennett has played a role in his reparation.

Lodge played 12 games for the Tigers in 2014-15.In July, the pair met at the Broncos’ team hotel in Sydney where Bennett, a noted teetotaller, gave Lodge some home truths about alcohol.
The son of an alcoholic father, Bennett had seen the ravages of the demon drink from a young age.
He didn’t want Lodge to self-destruct.
For the past year, Lodge has shunned booze.
During his time in NRL exile, Lodge has kept in shape under the guidance of sprint trainer Roger Fabri at the Lift Performance Centre.
“Wayne was honest with me,” said Lodge, who had separate domestic-violence charges dropped last month.
“If I was to get into trouble again, my career would be done and he basically said staying away from alcohol would be a good thing for me.

Lodge was previously regarded as one of the most promising props in the game.“I was fortunate someone like him wanted to give me some advice. I haven’t drunk since the incident (in New York). To be honest, I’m not planning on drinking again any time soon.
“I just had a lot of side issues and I didn’t know how to deal with things. I didn’t have support networks around me and it led to me getting in trouble when I was drinking.
“It was violent behaviour and it was always going to lead to something like that. I needed to clean myself up.”
Lodge, who speaks in the straight-shooting way in which he plays, makes no excuses for his New York nightmare.
As part of the rampage, he assaulted a man and stalked two women, allegedly telling them: “This is the night that you die.”
Lodge accepts there are people who view him as a bad egg without salvation. But rather than be bitter, he is trying to be better.
He has been helping out at a homeless shelter in Penrith and coaching the under-16s at his junior club, St Patrick’s.

Lodge is a former Junior Kangaroos skipper.When he arrives at Redcliffe, Lodge will perform community service and school visits.
He has written an apology letter to his victims, hoping they forgive, even if they never forget.
“With everything that’s happened, I can’t blame people for judging me,” he says. “I did the wrong thing and I have to live with that.
“I never thought I would find myself in that situation.
“What happened in the States was the worst thing that happened to me but it was the best thing as well. It was a wake-up call in my life. I don’t like thinking about it but I’ve faced up to it and I’ve got a chance to make things better now.
“I read a lot of things that just aren’t true. For example, there’s a story that I left Melbourne because I had a fight with Craig Bellamy (Storm coach) in the car park. That simply didn’t happen.
“I can’t control what people think of me, but all I can change is the future. Every day, I am trying to be better. Everyone has a past and I can only apologise for what I did.

I don't want someone like Lodge playing here. But I won't walk away and give up on us if he did play for us.
