Tanah Boyd signs with Titans effective immediately

Couldn't crack the NRL squad to start the year, news that he's only being offered a one year deal, bad history with injuries etc.

I suspect they'll end up signing him to a two year deal, but the Broncos aren't convinced they've got the second coming of Cameron Smith nor should they. It's his jersey as long as he keep the energy up.

Then the club does not deserve him, hope he gets out before June 30 as per unconfirmed reports of interest from Warriors, Eels.

At odds of $19 for the premiership, ranked 7th, gee your tough marker if you think this season has been a failure.
 
I also can't see Bird sticking around

I hope you're wrong there. If Bird sees out his contract, we will have him and Gillette running outside Dearden which could end up lethal. Dearden already put Gillette through a hole for a would-be-try, Gillette just needs to hang onto the ball. With Bird out there too, the defence will be kept on their toes. Milford, Staggs and Oates will get better with more time together, hopefully Boyd can lift again and help out with those left side sweep plays.

We are 5 wins from 12 games. That's pretty bad by Broncos standards.
 
Boyd has a pretty highlight reel
He certainly does. I had ideas about him being being retrofitted as a hooker, much like Turpin's path.

Seems par when current star spine players, Darius Boyd and Andrew McCullough are held in high regard by the current Broncos hierarchy.

Who says they are .... In fact the reports about McCullough are the opposite of that.

If Turps had have been banging down the door he would have gotten his start much earlier ...

So far Seibs has changed 2 of the 3 spine issues we had ... Unfortunately, the 3rd is harder due to the fact he is captain (and we have no depth in the position, thanks to the previous hierarchy)
 
I think Macca is still held in high regard, but at the same time, i think he has probably been told his play isnt up to what we require.
 
Surely he has been given the tap on the shoulder.
 
On the positive side, Tanah Boyd, like Dearden, is a Gold Coast boy. That's a great move for the club. Maybe Dearden will join him when Walker and Ponga come back.

Mate, how can you already be trying to move Dearden to the Titans? Also, he is originally from Mackay.
 
I'm not, but they were both big splashes in the schoolboy comp down there.

Just saying there is no need to ship him off for Sam Walker just yet, he is seen by the club as the best young half going around and we need to back him to develop into that superstar.

I don't want to get rid of Dearden, just saying the pair of them would be a dream combo for the Titans given their schoolboy history.
 
I'm told Reddit did that to try and ruin the Titan's fans day.

As if the Titans having one over the hill Boyd wasn’t enough, imagine having Darius competing with Shannon on who is the most overrated Boyd.

I'll see you and raise you: "Les Boyd."
 
Once Dearden hit the scene, losing either Paix or T. Boyd was an inevitability. What concerns me is that he asked for an immediate release which suggests to me that all is not right at the club.

The Broncos have a checkered record in the Queensland Cup. Wynnum and Norths are travelling nicely, but Redcliffe and Souths Logan are struggling. Before Boyd's departure, Souths Logan had six Broncos representatives in their squad. Despite the high representation are 2-11 with no signs of improvement. That's an awful indication of the club's depth, especially at a time where the NRL side needs a makeover.

The other concern is that Sam Walker and Jake Simpkin, two of the most highly rated juniors, have taken deals at other clubs. In the case of Walker, he had Tom Dearden infront of him and the opportunity at the Roosters was simply too good to ignore. However there is a clear vacancy in the #9 jersey at the Broncos, so for Simpkin to take up an option elsewhere is a troubling sign.

The test for Seibold will be his capacity to re-sign Matt Lodge, Tevita Pangai Jr and Corey Oates. Both Lodge and Oates are expected to re-sign and Pangai Jr is more than likely to stay, but if that doesn't eventuate it will send alarm bells ringing.

Seibold also has to acquire new talent to help balance the roster better. So far his signings have left a lot to be desired with Richard Kennar, Shaun Fensom failing to impress and James Segeyaro finding himself in the doghouse for his DUI indiscretion.

It's far from the end of the world, but when the future stars of the game are taking up deals elsewhere, it's not a good look. Especially for a club that's on track to have it's worst season to date.
They resigned Paix as a 9 in front of Simpkin which would have seen him stuck in the emerging squad easy decision for him
