Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2021

[Kimlo]

Any truth to the rumor of cook asking for a release?

He did say he only came to the club because of Reynolds but I doubt it given he's signed long term and Rabbitohs don't have any ready made replacements.

That is all the media vultures need to start more baseless speculation

 

[WASSHHH]

I can’t fucking stand Vunivalu, no way I want him at this club.

I know I have less credibility than Badel, but I’ve heard a couple of “rumours” one being Lodge to Penrith next week to free up cap space for Gagai..... make what you will of that and the other “rumours” include:

The inside word is Sua is locked in. Milford to the titans. Billy Walters is 4 weeks away from coming to the broncs. They won’t get capewell. Panthers won’t let him go apparently.

 

[Huge]

If Brad Thorn doesn't want him, neither do I. Hard pass thanks.

Love you Thornie!!

This is something I can understand. Thorn is a legend. That said I'd want to have all the facts before me and have had a chance to question Vuli before going to 'hard pass'. Still, if Thotny said yuk it'd carry plenty of weight.

Look we know nothing about you and you could be making all of this up. Therefore you are easily as credible as Badel.

 

[Old Mate]

Billy Walters is the last player we need.

I saw a headline about Dogs wanting Gsmble but it was pay walled.

Both the Bulldogs and Storm have submitted offers to Tyson Gamble. Bulldogs want him in case young Flannagan continues shitting the bed and to partner Burton, and Storm want him as backup for Munster and Hughes in the halves.

....they can both jump; Gamble is a very useful part of our roster.

Im confident he can turn into a ball playing 13 for us. Either as a starter or from the bench.

But much like Lee, we need those 7/10 consistent NRL professionals thoughout this squad.

I would be really happy if no-one else leaves now.

Do we really need Sua? Sure he is good however not sure why we seem to be chasing him so hard and I can't see him coming cheap. Give me Capewell over Sua.
Also, I wasn't all that keen on going for Hodgson however, with Reynolds at 7, Hodgson & Turps could work well in the 9 role. I'd prob start with Hodgson and bring Turps on when their middles start to get tired.
I hope we extend Gamble on a cheap contract. He has proven to be more suited to this side then Croft & Dearden. In fact, I wouldn't be against pairing him in the halves with Reynolds.
I hope we start to experiment with this side later this year, for next - once we are out of wooden spoon contention. Give Herbs a shot at FB, Isaako on the wing. Give Staggs his shot at 6 etc.

Su’A apparently wants to go back to Brisbane

Su’A apparently wants to go back to Brisbane

If that is the case, I hope we get good value out of him. Just because he wants to come to Brisbane doesn't mean we must sign him.
We should have higher priorities then Sua however, if he wants to come on the cheap, I'm alright with that, 300-400k would be nice.

Su’A apparently wants to go back to Brisbane

Does he act as a shield in defence for Reynolds? A bit like Carroll did for Alfie?

If so, then i can see the logic in being linked with him...

The fact that Finucane is apparently available means he wouldnt be my 1st choice.

I rate Sua lower than Finucane...not that this means he is shit.....

Former Broncos winger Chris Walker, the uncle of Roosters prodigy Sam, has blamed former coach Anthony Seibold over Brisbane’s inability to secure the services of the Tri-colours No.7.

The 18-year-old future superstar has dominated like a veteran playmaker in his first six games of first grade and this week signed a two-year extension to remain with the Roosters until the end of 2023.

The cunning halfback, who is the son of former Broncos halfback and Chris’ brother Ben was on a development deal at Brisbane, but chose to join the Roosters back in 2019.
“Unfortunately, for the great club that is the Brisbane Broncos, it’s true,” Walker told SEN.

“That came from Anthony Seibold, that they didn’t want Ben and Kylie (Sam’s parents) to be there.
“You probably have to ask Seibold, I’ve got my thoughts on it,” (Chris) Walker said.
“My first thought was that they were trying to pressure him into signing, that’s what I felt when I heard it.

“It was really sad, I go for the Broncos, I love the club, and it’s sad to see what they’re going through at the moment.

“They could have had Sam as a 10-to-15-year player.”

Seibold is yet to respond to or comment on the allegations.
