Meh, if they have the balls to sign up here bring it on I say. Oh how I miss the days of Broncohater. To his credit his trolling was rather entertaining.

Jeez !! Doom and gloom ! Surely they wouldn't let half there front row stocks leave.
it will come down to cash and game time. me personally, $100k playing cup or potentially $150 to $200k playing nrl. i know where i would rather be even if it was a struggling team.

This is the kind of thing that keeps me up at night, and is why I'm not 100 percent sold on Bird.

Do you think we can get this right @talanoa? We've just re-signed Glenn which imo opinion is a poor call considering who we have coming through.
Could this be the last year for Blair or Thaiday?

Then we have Oates wanting to move into the back row for all reports and pressure to get Sua or Pangai more time on the field. Arrow requires big minutes. Sims is signed on for another year I think.

Is Lodge the right option for the club?

Really hope we don't re-sign Arrow, plenty of others we need to keep ahead of him.

I understand that we will lose a couple . but if Bennett thinks they are the goods surely they will get decent offers .

Why the **** would I support them. One flog on here accused me of that when I first joined because I wasn't having a go at someone for criticising referees when we played Melbourne. I guess you can't be subjective as a supporter.

I agreed that it wasn't the ref's fault, but it was a pretty big giveaway when you tried to claim the track was dry for the Raiders game when any idiot could see that it wasn't.

7 news just reported that it was Bird that phoned Bennett about making a move.
pfft why would he do that? Haven't you heard? Bennett has lost his aura. Obviously we paid way overs for him to get him to play for such a hack of a coach.

Which is something that kind of annoys me tbh. We cop that line all the time (and I agree btw) but when we sign a quality player....

"Nah, nah the Broncos are cheating the cap!!!"
"What cap, man? More like a sombrero!!!"
"Hahaha, nice one man!"

Damned if we do and damned if we don't.

Trying to reason with them is like trying to reason with your mrs in an argument.

It's just not possible. It always turns around on you.

Yawn.... I broke this news on here on Saturday which is the day he signed the contract. The moment Bennett contacted him, he was in as he greatly admires the man. All that was needed was a contract which is now in place. Excellent signing, possibly the best recruitment in Bronco history.

The 10 days hasn't expired which is why there is no announcement from the Broncos and no deal yet. Sharks did the wrong thing announcing it.

Sharks can but shouldn't. Broncos can't.

Too many folk worrying about how he'll fit in the team.

If you have the opportunity to sign a talent like Bird, you bloody well take it.

If he's been promised the five-eighth position, I think he and Milford will gel quite comfortably TBH.

Bloody excited to see them line up together for the Broncs!

Came onto the scene in the late 90's, Bulldog's supporter who had the shits with anything involving the Broncos especially when it came to his beloved Bulldogs. Felt everything went against the Bulldogs in the 1998 grand final and continually whinged like any opposition fan about us being salary cap cheats and the referees were biased towards us. But there was an entertaining side to it more then just your typical whinging opposition fan.

Thank you, well before l started following this forum. I do appreciate a different point of view as long as it's well constructed and entertaining.
