Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2021

[Nightwatchman]

When is Hunt off contract? He is a fantastic 9 and would be worth a serious look there in my opinion until Mozer is ready for first grade. Obviously on a contract nowhere near what he's currently on and only if he can make peace with the fact that he's much better at dummy half than he will ever be at halfback.

Ben Hunt still has another year left after this year on his contract. I don't think Dragons would be interested in subsiding a large part of his salary considering they made him captain and he was one of the few Dragons players that had any sense not to attend Paul Vaughn's party.

It did enter my head about bringing back Hunt to the Broncos as a nine after last nights performance. It's possible, as Hunt may want to return home to QLD. But Hunt has said his preference is to play half-back. You can't deny it was a fantastic performance last night as hooker for QLD though.

Oh, and for the kick off reception he dropped in the Grand Final in 2015. It's over, let it go, move on.......

Did you just suggest Mo on an edge?

Yep, my bad, Origin hangover.

 

[NSW stables]

Even if we were not to get Mo, we could at least raise what the titans have to pay to retain him (just like they have done to everyone of our off contract players).

 

[upthebroncs]

A player you don't know?? I must admit, I am in genuine shock. Hopefully he is flying under the radar of other learned types doing scouting as well.

Ahh I have different priorities these days hey. Maybe I'd be more attentive to NRL if the Broncos didn't suck

 

[upthebroncs]

What would be the going rate on someone like Fotuaka? Possibly butchered that spelling...

Apparently clubs can approach him this year. He has been pretty handy for the tits and QLD.

Even if we were not to get Mo, we could at least raise what the titans have to pay to retain him (just like they have done to everyone of our off contract players).

Fotuaika would be a great partner for Haas up front. I feel like we'd probably be releasing one of Carrigan and Flegler if we were to sign him though.

It would make sense if the Titans lost him because they spent too much on poaching Tino and Fifita I have a feeling they will find the money for him though.

I’d go after Braiden Burns instead of Gagai.
Younger, cheaper and has a bit of potential, just been riddled with injuries.

Hmm nah not really worth it. He's not much better than Jesse Arthars in my books. Plus we have signed Brenko Lee anyway.

Titans now are a smokey to land dale finucane.. dale has been in talks with them and is impressed with what their saying..
With tino, fifita, brimson and maybe finucane on big coin they wouldn't be able to throw much at mo

 

[Renegade]

would 100% take Mo at a reasonable price. have been impressed by whatawanker for a little while now.

Why wouldn’t he be impressed with what the Titans are saying, they talk in the universal language that everyone understands. Dollars.

Yeah exactly using the same talk that was used on fifita

I haven’t read much BHQ this week but I’d still be going after Connor Watson if I’m the broncos and if they feel the need for another centre either gags or someone like a Kurt Mann. Might even be able to snag Ponga in a years time with those 2

If Broncos really wanted to win a comp, they'd be saving up for a big play at signing both Munster and Ponga. Ponga is off contract after the 2022 season (has player options for 2023 and 24) and Munster is off contract after the 2023 season. Adam Reynolds isn't off contract until the end of 2024..

Maybe 2024 could be the year for us?

1. Ponga
6. Munster
7. Reynolds
9. Who cares now that we have Ponga and Munster

so you enjoyed winning the wooden spoon ... because that's where we'll end up having both Ponga and Munster after the NRL strip all our points

Well all our best juniors will have left the club so we won't have anyone else to spend our salary cap on.

you'll be looking at paying at least $1.5 million EACH to Ponga and Munster ... especially with the second Brisbane team coming in need a top shelf marquee

Haha I agree. Which one would you pick though? Maybe Ponga if Staggs were 6.

1. Ponga
6. Staggs
7. Reynolds
