Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2026

[6moresongs]

we don't have a million dollar 5/8

We have a well payed, underperforming 5/8.

He averages just over 1 try assists every 2 games and had missed the most tackles per game than anyone else. Literally bad in both attack and defence. Tom Duffy, who is on a quarter of his wage averages more assists and misses less tackles!

 

[vertigo]

Need something but god is he one of the most ill disciplined footballers on the planet!

So basically Flegler (23 GF aside)

 

[vertigo]

They're spending 1.3mil+ on Haas and 1.1 or w/e it is on Mitchell... how do they have money to spend?

Massive cap increases from 2027 onwards due to the new rights deal.

1 million+ for marquee players is pretty standard now and isn't a big percentage of the cap as it was say 10yrs ago.

 

[vertigo]

I mean it's pretty shit but it's not a surprise, this is the same guy that agitated for a release mid-contract only to rescind it because he didn't like being booed. He is a genuinely great player but he is a pretty shit bloke lets be honest, I think his play on the field masks a lot of it but at a certain point it becomes pretty obvious.

Re: Payne - I'm just glad we didnt get SBW'd like the dogs way back.

I'll never forget his 2025 season and he has been just about the only player to give 100% every time he steps on the field. We'll miss him dearly just like when Parker retired. A clear drop-off in the middle.

Reckon the club has been focusing on our roster which, they absolutely should but keeping it all hush hush & I like it.

Mariner, Piakura, Headgear Riki & 2-3 middle thirds are a must signings to follow.

Reckon they can write in to Riki’s contract that he must wear headgear? I hope so. Maybe give him 2 offers, this is the pay with headgear and without.

Two sets of contracts…I like it, it’s fresh and I don’t think it’s been done before.

 

[Jason Simmons]

All of them

So a current boardmember of the club actually hates said club?

Right…

Makes a lot of sense.

Cs9’s influence rubbing off on the club?

Mate Locky is so off Madge he went and bought another Broncos team. Loves the Broncos, but hates the current Madge infested Broncos club, so got his own in London

Well he's being paid to teach something right?

 

[Elbows]

Not a fan of the Big Red Lunatic. Just seems like a penalty magnet and would only be worse here.

He’ll be a nice partner in crime with carrigan then.

 

[BooKhaki]

Don't have an issue with Hors as a bench middle pending price tag. As long as he is told his job is to run hard and make his tackles. He's a decent prop, a bog average ball playing 13. Biggest concern is how many penalties and 6 agains we already give, he will make it worse.

 

[Sproj]

he will make it worse.

How is that even possible at this stage though?

Ashley Klein:

Maguire was very cagey around the question about Horsburgh. Says he hasn't given up on Jensen coming back as an answer basically but also didn't dismiss it.
