not to mention that 2 of the players he got quotes from were TPJ and Lodge. there seems to be a player he doesn't name and Flegler also. Flegler sounds like he has never met Wayne and is going off his resume. Badel is an expert at asking the questions to get the answers he needs for the article he has already written

this is right out of the "Clickbait Journalism 101" textbook

Coates has told players he’s going to storm.
If true don't select him for the rest of the season. At 2/7 we are shot anyway.
 
Putting Cobbo or another rookie in this team isn’t going to help them in the long run.. it’s pretty much exactly what has got us into the position in the first place
Exactly, don't promote these rookies when they are still 18 or whatever, it hasn't worked out outside of Haas.
 
'Milford' is contracted for next year? If not, don't expose him any more than has already happened to vultures.

Fair enough. When Staggs returns, Arthurs to the wing, Staggs to centre and Costes to ISC where he can keep Deardon company
 
Time to look for a player swap now with Melbourne. Heinz now for the pseudo bronco lifer. Shift Isaako to wing. If that falls short throw in Milford as well.

It panned out ok for Coates though.

The Broncos went through about 2 years of very mediocre and inconsistent Coates and just when he looked ready to finally start to live up to his potential, he ends up signing with the Storm.
Good for him to get a good contract at 20, shit for the Broncos to develop him for someone else once again.
 
With Coates gone I'd be looking at Gagai, Opacic or Kris. Gagai would need to take a pay cut first though, because he's on a reportedly big salary at Souths. in fact we could probably afford 2 of them.

if we go for the 2 cheaper options, we may even be able to afford an experienced back rower also.

so this one's for you @Sproj

1. Isaako
2. Oates
3. Farnworth
4. Opacic
5. Kris
6. Staggs
7. Reynolds
8. Lodge
9. Turpin
10. Haas
11. Capewell/Su'A
12. Pangai
13. Carrigan

14. Hethrington
15. Bullemore
16. Flegler
17. Riki

The only thing I can find is a full article by the Mole from 9 months ago saying he signed a 2 year development deal.

I’m not sure if dev deals are the same as top 30 but by my math, he is with us until the end of next year making him approachable in November this year.

whilst I'm not for punishing coates cause of his decision based off the fact he is good. I believe this would actually be a good option considering we would get hynes away from potential suitors. But it is unlikely

Suuuurely the club locks him up before then. Surely

yes well done lets replace an origin winger with a nobody. Great way to get ourselves out of this mess isn't it. We're going to the market to get a proper winger. If we wanted to do this half arsed bullshit we'd be putting arthars, mead or keener on the wing to replace him

It's not a good contract that's the point that is worrying. Like I completely understand the players that have left for money they are just disloyal but he left for a better system to actually quite a uncompetitive offer and well off market value
