Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2021

Will be extremely happy if this is the case.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the next superstar fullback for the Brisbane Broncos - Mr Selwyn Cobbo.



Who was that bloke called Reece again?

Let the hypetrain begin!

That Inglis style fend though.

These sorts of videos usually mean nothing to me unless I see a good passing game or something. Running through shitty lazy defenders is a skill that doesn't always translate to the NRL (unless you are playing the current Broncos).
Does this guy have a passing game?

There's two things that are exciting: That defensive chase and back up tackle straight away and the short passes.

Would much rather see K.Hunt signed over Walters. He will bring nothing that others at the club cannot offer ie Paix or Croft. Piss poor if we end up with Billy as our last spot in the 30.

Yeah, but then Kevvie will have his son at the club, joining his brother and mates in the coaches box, just gotta find a spot for Narelle in the Walters dream team...

So non-chalant. Getting that Inglis-Mitchell type vibe from him without the post try carry on.
He's a natural footballer with size and skill.
This kid better be in the 30 soon, if Billy comes in I'm gonna lose my shit too.

Someone post this on the NZ forum haha

No condemnation from me about your post. I simply was pointing out that Taylor had identical issues and acted on it coming out bigger and stronger. Milford didn't feel the need to play well all the time as he was guaranteed a huge income for years. I think it says a lot about both players whilst I acknowledge I don't know all the background and could be speaking absolute shit(again)

Ash Taylor seems happier that he's come out the other side after dealing with his personal issues. He hasn't quite delivered on his potential though. He threw a couple wayward passes today against the Knights despite the Titans winning big. The Titans are better with him though, they really in terms in attack looked out of ideas against the Raiders without him. But Taylor is in contract year this year and so the Titans are going to expect to see more from him. Taylor staying on his current salary is out of the question though.

Please dont start this shit with Cobbo...

Hes a kid....havent we learnt a damn thing...

This is part of our retention problem to begin with. Recce Walsh was 2 years away 2 years ago....Cobbo is now the next guy who is 2 years away...

Leave the kid alone to play footy.

Im not concerned about Walsh leaving now. Play the long game, if he fulfills his potential and eventually wants to return to Australia its this type of act which isnt forgotten by player and his family.

What the hell this kid from NZ gunna supposed to do to help us this year?

Our issue are systemic.

Billy Walters really isnt needed, but if hes 30th in line for game time then whatever.

I thought he would’ve already been under a development deal.

if he’s the one coming in then that makes sense.

what the broncos need to do right now is release a little statement that Cobbo has been upgraded to the development deal spot and do a little interview with him for their website. “Cobbo upgraded to a development deal... remember he played in the trial for Wynnum scoring a try in the trial and playing fullback for the broncos in the 2nd half... etc.”

at the moment it looks like we get nothing out of the deal, but they should be selling it as “hey Walsh is gone, but here’s the next fullback to step into the void, who is better than whatever the warriors were selling”

It's one of those weird situations where he's contracted with the Broncos, but not on an NRL deal. He comes off contract next year so Brisbane may want to sign him on a 3 year deal sooner rather than later.

I really like him as a prospect. He moves well for his size, appears to have all the right skills and he isn't afraid to go searching for the ball. I'd say he'd be a left centre at NRL level but like Stephen Crichton he could find himself at fullback (but hopefully do a better job).

Brisbane need to be careful how they use their remaining roster spots. There's 5 left, they need to find a couple of players who can bolster their 17 and save one or two for players who are ready for a taste in first grade.

It probably went like this

Sam walker is so much better than Dearden will ever be

 

[Morepudding]

Dearden is 2 years older than Sam Walker and has 1/10th of the talent. Let him go to the cowboys. Sign Reynolds.

He’s playing in a much better side.

 

[Galah]

He’s playing in a much better side.

It’s still night and day

Can't really say that for sure unless you put them in opposite teams and systems , Can't compare that roosters team and organization to the broncos.

 

[nopatience101]

It’s still night and day

So is the system they’re each in.

I’m not saying Dearden is better or will be better, I’m saying he has been thrown to the wolves.
