Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2025

Hosking wasn’t Broncos work it was Wynnum, they signed him and got him a pre-season. Broncos couldn’t find a place for him in top 30 and Penrith could.

That makes it even worse. A Qcup team is better at recruiting hidden talents than the broncos.

Cobbo has been down to take a look at the Bunnies Heffron Centre. His management have also spoken with Canberra, though I don't think he would last long with Sticky getting stuck into him.

Looking more likely he will be a Rabbitoh in 2026.

I would swap him for Campbell Graham.

I’m surprised out of all the players, Piakura is the one to be told he can leave. There must be something behind the scenes. He could be the first domino to fall and they’re sending out a signal to the other players to pick up their game or they’re out too? Look at me trying to be hopeful lol Happy for Cobbo to go Rabbits. He can be their problem

What’s the catch? Why would they?

Bellamy siphoning players to us before he comes to coach obviously

 

[Foordy]

Don’t we have salary issues?

We have 14 guys off contract, Madge will likely begin reshaping his squad to suit him rather than Kevvie

He was overlooked by every single NRL team until he started playing well for us

Melbourne Storm powerhouse Tui Kamikamica has been offered to the Brisbane Broncos. If this is true it would be an amazing signing.

From the Storm games I’ve watched he never really impressed me. I imagine he would be reasonably cheap? Would he be aimed as a starter, bench or depth signing?

 

[Swordfish]

Something has to give surely. The biggest club in Aussie sporting history can’t find ‘footy smart’ players is a disgrace. Can’t win premierships with team full of short reels rockstars.

If MM have to cut loose all 14 off contract players for 26, so be it. Let him get the type of players he need. Results will come.

Scouting, recruitment & football departments need an emergency overhaul seriously.

 

[Redfern_1980]

What's the Bunnies consensus on this possible signing?

Negative in the circles I mix in. We already have Fatrell, don't need another version. Unless he takes a big haircut on his current salary, I think we could spend the money better elsewhere. Wayne would have his work cut out getting his head right, not sure he's worth the trouble.

 

[FACTHUNT]

Not sure that I'd want a 31 year old Melbourne reject - no quotes from either club, sounds like manager shenanigans

 

[Big Pete]

Why would Brisbane want to sign the one Melbourne player who doesn't value effort areas?

 

[Galah]

I’ve always thought he was massively overrated.

Another one that's built like a god but runs like a crippled jigglypuff

Exactly, the guy is a unit but just doesn’t do what you think he will do. Plus he’s slow af

Fijian Riki but in the middle and while he doesn't knock on as much, he gets knocked out more

Amd slow is exactly what is not needed in the touch football era.

 

[dejan]

Honestly, never accept a player that is just offered to you haha. Especially from the Storm system. I hope we don't bite.

Tui's hit up metres are not an improvement on our current bench either.
