I see Gareth Widdop has been reportedly shopped to the Broncos. Widdop can play unlike Moses Mbye but there was a reason no NRL team would take him last offseason. He has stuffed too many teams around he requested a release from his Dragons contract for sentimental reasons. And he is now doing...

What has gone largely unnoticed about the 2019 series is Moses Mbye cost the series for QLD. At the end of the game 3 Mbye whinged to the ref instead of getting a quick play the ball away. The NSW defense had time to get set and rushed out to Daly Cherry-Evans forcing him to put up a bomb rather...

At this stage I'd rather keep Matt Lodge and play out his contract. Then to pay out $400,000 a year of his contract to play for another team. When I read that rumor in the offseason I thought it was overreach and the negatives outweighed the positives for such a move. I generally think Lodge...

Thomas Flegler was getting offered $800,000 a year from two sydney clubs apparently. There were teams that were willing to pay him more then what the Broncos got him for. The Courier Mail reports the 20-year has sacrificed a whopping $1.8 million having rejected three-year deals worth $2.4...

I understand that the Broncos needed to retain Kotoni Staggs. However, the length of deals that the club is handing out is still a concern. Remember the Jack Bird, Anthony Milford, and Matt Lodge contracts were quite lengthy. I never thought Bird was a good fit for the Broncos though regardless...

I see its been reported in the Courier Mail the Broncos have floated the idea of playing Kotoni Staggs at five-eight. If they can retain him off contract after this season. I want to keep Staggs, but I don't like players being offered to play out of position because they have requested it. We...

Its been reported in the Courier Mail that Karmichael Hunt has signed up with South's Logan. It suggests that his focus is playing for South's Logan and a transition into coaching. But “if someone might need a hand somewhere’’ he would consider joining a NRL team if offered a spot. Hunt has...

It was written by Paul Kent in the Courier Mail and the snippet is below. People can deride the source if they must. The problem is some people deride the source and suggest they have a better source which is themselves. I'm not suggesting you believe everything in the media, but I am suggesting...

Yep. Agreed it should be Alex Glenn. This is really not that difficult of a decision. Carrigan still very young, Milford needs to get his form sorted, and Lodge may let the captaincy go to his head. I've read Lodge has an attitude problem in being a bit of a know at all. Telling players what...

I agree with this. Moses Mbye has recently handed his captaincy back at the Tigers. Mbye said there was no sense trying to help other blokes when he hadn't got his own game sorted. Sam Thaiday was given the captaincy prematurely which effected his form, and reluctantly gave it back to...

Yes. They want to keep him, but if they have to let him go they want compensation. I'm not sure why that's hard to understand. If they didn't want to keep him they would have agreed to release him wouldn't they.

Kevin obviously would have a close relationship being the father of Billy. I really doubt this has come about by the manager approaching the Broncos separately without the father and son discussing the possible scenario first. The situation with Kennedy never happened so the comment's...

It won't happen, he's already signed up to play for the Eels. Yes, I know you were kidding............

No one is suggesting Billy Walters welfare is a concern. It's maybe he wants to play for the Broncos, be coached by his father, and as you suggest be closer to home. You can't just put this all on the Tigers as 'using it as extortion'. It's the Broncos that are going after a player already under...

The article confirms the Tigers want to keep Walters, but if they have to let him go then they want something in return. Just because a club releases a player doesn't make it a mutual decision. The club sometimes succumbs to pressure of a disgruntled player who may become a distraction on the...

The other factor is Tigers could really use Billy Walters. This is not exactly a mutual decision to part company. Poaching a Tigers player under contract just adds to fans skepticism of players and teams not wanting to honor contracts. Broncos really shouldn't be doing this unless its agreed by...

Wade Graham seems like one of the nice guys of the game and seems very humble. The guy can play too. I'm not sure why you have a beef with him. I'd take Graham over Latrell, he would solve our captain dilemma too.

Its not that tempting. We signed an overpriced centre who wanted to play a different position in recent years and look how that turned out (Jack Bird).

That's true. But it seems that a short-term deal from Latrell is more likely someone who is looking out for something better. And isn't likely interested in committing to a club long-term like Sonny Bill Williams. Just chasing a top dollar but isn't likely interested in leaving his mark on one...

Exactly. Bird's behavior is really quite craven if it's true.
