NEWS Broncos playmaker plans on brink of collapse

Interesting theory from Dobbo. I tend to think that the Croft scenario hasn't yet run its course.

In my opinion there are 4 players that Siebs would be willing to let go being Bird, McCullough, Boyd or Milf.

Bird is one i think that is still a strong chance, it just feels like the Roberts to Souths scenario again. Tigers and Panthers are likely options for him and could see him leaving in the new year, if only to save those clubs 2 months of his salary before he starts with them in Jan. Sticking point will be how much we are left to pay on the ~800-900k salary, if they are only willing to pay 500k or so it might be best to keep him.

McCullough would be released if we can fool a club like the Bulldogs into picking him up or maybe even a desperate Manly. Unfortunately i think this is less likely than Bird leaving.

Boyd is a no brainer, no club is likely interested and he doesn't seem motivated to move at this stage of his career and who can blame him for sitting back on the fat contract he currently has.

The Milf to Tigers rumour might have legs but is a swap of just Milf for Croft enough to strengthen our roster? Croft + guaranteeing Fifita's future however might be more attractive.

I think now the review is complete at St George Bird may be a chance to land there. Other options could be Souths, Tigers or panthers. A straght swap for croft with us paying the difference could work but Bird probably wants to go back to Sydney even though Melbourne is the better city.

I think we will keep Macca. Given our lack of experienced hookers and Segeyaro leaving in his ACDC tshirt we might have to hold onto him. Not many hookers in the market. Maybe Levi or Woolford but they lack experience.

Nobody wants Boyd. Maybe this proposed NYC team could take him. I think leaving in NYC may appeal to the Boyds.

I don't think letting Milford go to the Tigers and paying the freight is worth it. But I am strongly in the Milford camp and I am not sure Siebold is the same.
 
Dobbo said on Triple M this morning that Croft will be at the Broncos before round 1. I know its Dobbo but he has got a few right lately, he called the Matt Gillet retirement nearly a month ago and Kahu coming back last week before it was spoken about on here. Hopefully, he is right about this. I only caught the back end of his interview but he also said something along the lines of that there are some players named in the top 30 this week that won't be there come round 1.

Unfortunately knowing our luck the bolded will be Fifita and Haas.
 
If the club planned on our main rival releasing a player they don't need to release then we didn't have a plan.

It seems fairly obvious this club hasn't had much of a plan for a while.

The NYC team doesn't even start until 2021 or something so that won't happen.

Milford won't be leaving. 100% he will be playing for Broncos in 2020 and 2021. He isn't our issue.

Bird leaving is definitely the best way to free up money for 2020. I don't think we will struggle to offer Fifita 700-800k for 2021. But if another club is willing to pay him $1m then we will need to let him go. He isn't worth $1m.

Thanks for saving me the trouble!!
 
That is my 4 year old's contribution. I must say by far not the worst post to this forum

Makes about as much sense as any given league journalist not named Chris Garry.
 
Mate, I've had it on good authority that Bird will be heading back to Sydney before long, so that'll free up some cash. Have a little faith, if you know what I mean...

Maybe you have heard it from the same person I have?

Did you hear the bird and Ben hunt swap rumours with the dragons?

Apparently it's all but done. Bird to partner Norman in the halves.

I'd cop that swap tbh. So long as we don't have to ever pay his ridiculous 1.2 mil salary.
 
Tallis is a flog but he did say that one particular playing agent has a lot of Broncos players on his books and could be considered as having too much power. Not sure if it was true, if it was I'm sure he would be yelling "I told you so" to anyone who would listen.
 
Isaac Moses.

He manages Seibold, Lodge, Pangai Jr, Turpin, Staggs, McCullough, Glenn, O'Sullivan, Kahu and Shibasaki. He also managed Fensom and Gillett.

The Fensom, Gillett and Kahu connection is very interesting.

He isn't the first to say that, he's just copying what someone else said (I can't remember who) earlier this year. So I guess he can't really yell "I told you so". I think there was a thread about it?
