Broncos given all clear today regarding Karl.

I respect 1910, but until the NRL clears the team publically it's just another barrier that colours the perception of the club.

Looking at MM footage or Queensland footage from last season would have provided more insight. Cyril is two years ago.

The only time I heard something.....was a note about the defence. Its pissweak

Which is why school boy and QRL and etc etc form/highlight reels.....can only be useful so far, as the yard stick.

Sure its has to mean something, cause what else is there?
but.........

broncos statement 9 November
mole article 10 November
post above from someone who has reliable information about broncos amongst other things 28 November.

The anonymous unsourced poster you keep quoting did not add anything to the Broncos official press release.

Everything I’ve heard and seen is the exact opposite. In fact his size and defence compared to other halves is partly what makes him so highly rated

Edit: oh never mind, I misunderstood. I’m not yet fluent in deciphering Me Fourex posts

Why are we all arguing so much over some nobody.

Olaupu is a dickhead. End of discussion.

hence why the Broncos thought he might be a good fit for 13

Can't wait until Karl plays a couple of games for the Dogs and they decide he's a lock, and that's where he plays for the rest of his career...

He actually reminds me a bit of Latrell in the way he moves. If he puts on any more weight (which I'm sure he will if wants to play 1st grade) there's no way he's playing 6. I wouldn't be surprised to see him debut at centre or second row.

Oloapu could be a gun, he could also be a monumental flop.

Half of the hype comes from the media trying to make him out to be the reincarnation of Wally Lewis, he's not. He's simply a kid who wanted out, that's all he is. Until he makes it in the NRL, he won't be anything more. They don't all turn out to be Sam Walker.

Well the Broncs need spine players and they didn't think he was ready for top 30.. so that says something, separate of the way he was treated and communicated with.

Broncs have been down the path of paying for talent and potential.... big jump from junior hero to NRL star, I think Gus is taking hail mary's as he is probably on heavy incentives to deliver final success to the Bulldogs.. not his money he is spending.

Seriously can we please **** this bloody topic right off I'm sick of seeing this dick heads name.

 

[Swordfish]

can’t stand the brats name being discussed in our forum. Good riddance.

The word is that Karl will be named over Kyle this weekend

He went close last week; thought was the Dogs had too many players out to expose him so Ciraldo held it back.

Dragons probably an easier debut than the Sharks too.

He will no doubt be an upgrade as long as Burton can develop as a 7
