Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2022

[Scorchie]

it would be hard to get any confidence as a half at the Knights ... O'brien changes them so often

He’d be tearing up in nsw cup then?

been injured for a bit i think has him listed as out till next season

 

[big k]

No. How do you go from “the future” at Cowboys to not making this Knights team?

You mean like Deardon? He looked ordinary for us when we were going shit, look at him now

I never thought Dearden was ordinary and I don't think any of us know exactly why he was moved on. Many here blame him for defecting to the Cowboys, but he would've stayed if we wanted him. It wasn't because of Reynolds and Mam, because both emerged after he left.

In the end, I think it turned out the better for us, but it might not have been by design.

Clifford had the same pack sans the addition of Nanai and Cotter.

if the excuse usually is that playmakers need forwards to push forward to give them the room, he’s had the same pack and before Chad/Tommy he had Thurston or Morgan.

He’s a clsssic case of someone who would do good things with time in cup. He arrived too early and was shot out of the system as a result

I think it was simply a case for the club needing to clear the decks. Their goal was a top level half, and paying Dearden would have soaked up a fair chunk of that budget.

Slothfield reporting a rookie broncos forward will end up at Penriff.
Do we know who?

Hosking maybe

 

[Super Freak]

read yesterday that transfer fees are cap free was a bit of a shock lol

I think it's fair enough. It's not an ongoing payment, it's just a one off and it doesn't go to the player so I'm happy for it to be not included in the cap.

 

[theshed]

Hosking maybe

Thought he’d already signed with Newcastle?

Is this the same as when he said Jordan Kahu had signed with the Sharks?

 

[pagey]

not sure if it was confirmed or not

 

[McHunt]

We should try to sign this guy

If the fins get Walsh and Munster they’ll be a better team then us first year in.

I can’t deal.

How are you feeling now?

 

[Bull Shark]

How are you feeling now?

My guess...

the Broncos would surely be pretty delighted with the way things have gone over the last 12 months in regards to their resurgence on the field, their recruitment and retention and the Dolphins' difficulties.

 

[Galah]

How are you feeling now?

Fabulous, thanks for asking.

Well it's water under the bridge now but my take was Kevvie either didn't rate him or it was a team chemistry issue. He was dithering around with the halves at the time, and clearly wasn't happy with any of them. Milford was always the main problem, and still looks that way, but Croft and Dearden have flourished since leaving. Zero regrets, anyway.
