He's played as many Origins as Edrick Lee. Both got their jersey because of inuries, it means nothing really. Staggs is good for a highlights play once a month so fits the Broncos entertainment club approach.

Mal Meninga Aussie coach ?
He is blinded by the same entertainment approach ?
 
So the latest rumour is Kevvie wants Des' job at the Titans, and could get it if they fail to make the finals.

Did we actually sign Grant Anderson? Because if we did, I’d much rather him and Shibasaki/Mariner as our centres than Staggs, and the three of them are probably less than $800k combined…

All the commentators have been telling he has all season including the storm guys like Smith and Slater so i would imagine we have.

I don't think it's been properly announced or anything.

He was on the Storm Trio's podcast last week, and they were all snickering about him talking about how much he loves playing at Suncorp, could be absolutely nothing, could be something I guess, but the reports from whenever it was did sound like it was done.
 
The problems the Broncos have won't be fixed by a lazy 2nd rower wanting to play comfortable football. If anything, he makes them worse.
And as for letting go of BOTH Cobbo and Staggs to get him, good grief!
Yes we need 2nd rowers, but not that one.

Ryan Matterson given permission to speak to other clubs.

I would sign him before I even consider Fifita.

3 or 4 years ago you might consider it .
This is the guy who decided to take a suspension rather than pay a fine . Dunno if that is a sign of what he thinks about being in a team .
He hasn`t done much the past cpl of seasons that I can recall .

If Reyno actually had some plays that put the right 2nd rower in space like Kodi Nikorima used to . There would be less talk about 2nd rowers . Even Riki would look good getting those kind of passes . Seems Reyno prefers moves where the centres and wingers are the strike players . Where as other teams use their 2 nd rowers more and the centres are links to the wingers .

I agree with this. Most of our players are incredibly overrated. I do think Walsh, Mam and Cobbo have potential to be elite, but all too inconsistent at the moment.

I know most won't agree, but i'd be tempted to get Fifita at the right price and let Riki go. Have Fifita on his preferred left edge, and transition Willison to the right with Piakura as a backup. Riki tries hard, but he just never runs good lines and isn't a threat with the ball at all.

Riki can run a good line but he’d rather do his hop scotch routine when he gets the ball. It’s a bad habit that’s just second nature to him now.
 
I truly hope that number isn’t correct…. It needs to be over 4 years to be fair.

Yea Staggs is good, but he's not $800k good. Unfortunately, it also seems like he's past his peak.

I'm not sure he is past his peak, but i do wonder if a change of scenery might benefit us and him. Problem we have is who do we replace him with. I'm not sold on Mariner yet and i wouldnt get into a bidding war for Cobbo either.
