What a BS article...
Badel is using the fact that negotiations haven't taken place, to suggest that Oates could leave...
This despite the fact that Oates himself says he can't even start negotiations for another 2 months until he severs tier with his management
The definition of click bait

The media's shameless sponging off the profile of the club continues.

We need to do what the NRL did and hire a Broncos media person who calls people out for their crap.

We have a man that is perfectly suitable for that job, his name is Wayne Bennett.
Would rather he coach the side instead of spending to much time squashing media rumors and responding to media articles.
Thought it was pretty logical for a change and the quotes back up the headline.
Uncertain to be here- Oates- don't know if i'l be here.
Oates wants to change to his father in law big Geno as his manager.

If they lose him, they are idiots. There was no need to sign Bird and he may well cost Oates + Arrow + whoever else, that is just a stupid decision.
Regardless, this article's headline is extremely misleading. Honest would have been a far better word choice than brutal, it just doesn't make any sense other than to get clicks.

Its called a salary cap. The offers for a few players like TPJ, Lodge, Sua and Isaako are going to be coming in thick and fast

TPJ - Keep
Su'A - Keep
Lodge - Try to keep but expendable
Isaako - Keep
Bird - Punt
Boyd - Retire
That's the solution

all of which will require decent upgrades

If we can keep him as a winger, throw the cheque book at him.
If he gives us an ultimatum to play in the back row only, I would show him the door without a moments hesitation.

Let me know when you want to deal in the real world where you cant just punt a player because you have found someone better immediately. I mean, what player would want to sign with our club if he was expendable at all times to getting sacked if someone comes along who is better for that year?

Your first sentence is not true, sure the Broncs will have to pay some of his wage but even if another team takes up half his salary, that's 350k+ extra to help retain the kids, that may just be what's needed.
Your second sentence is a great way of making my point sound far less valid than it is and if I were a poster who often goes on about punting blokes for other kids because they jumped or ran nicely once, it would make sense...except I'm not. I've also been vocally against the Bird signing from day one, so not even bandwagoning either.
And if you think Bird has been a good return on a bad investment opportunity in the first place, well good on you, that's your choice. Regardless, his salary could be far better used on other players as it could have been before the Broncs signed him in the first place. If he effectively only costs Oates, it is a stupid decision...except it isn't only Oates he would have cost.

You’d think if he’d been playing in the forwards this season, and been doing a semi-decent job, he’d have been a shot at Origin. In reality the Broncos wouldn’t have been able to give him much time in the forwards even if they wanted to, such has been the rise of TPJ, Su’a, JoO etc, but you wonder if it’s still grinding in the back of Oates’ mind what might have been if he’d been playing for someone else in the forwards.
