Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2023

Out of the Qld teams Titans seem the worst option to me. They've got a thousand halves coming through the juniors and already have Foran there as a senior half to get them around the field, so Benny turning up starts to become a road block for the juniors coming through. They're not really a...

[McHunt]

it came from Badel in the CM.

Poor Travis Meyn. Pete gets all your kisses.

 

[Xzei]

My tip for 2023 @McHunt and @Foordy become besties

 

[Big Pete]

NRL.com has updated their squad information.

Tyson Smoothy and Josh Rogers have been listed as development players with Logan Bayliss in the NRL squad.

Who is Josh Rogers @Big Pete ? Do you have any info on him?

 

[Big Pete]

Who is Josh Rogers @Big Pete ? Do you have any info on him?

He's the Burleigh five eighth the Broncos reportedly signed a few months back. He's 26 but in recent years he's really worked on his game and had his best season to date. I think he shapes as a smart investment in the halves stocks and should at least work well with the younger players coming through.

Wait, if Smoothy has been relegated to development, does that mean Billy Walters is our first choice hooker? Is he really the best this filthy rich club could find in the last three years of scouring the Earth for a premiership winning spine?

 

[Big Pete]

The dummy half spot is a position I expect to see a lot of movement in this season. I expect we'll see Walters and Paix alternate between the starting position and I expect Mozer will debut at some point. Blake is the #9 the Broncos have settled on, whether they should be as confident in him is another question entirely.

Good prospect, any club would be happy to have him but I'm not prepared to hand him a Rookie of the Year award let alone the keys to the club.

Yes and no is the answer.

 

[Big Pete]

Someone's not happy.

Speak your mind.

Yes and no is the answer.

'You're obsessed' would also be acceptable.

Relegated? From Q Cup to Broncos development contract?

 

[Kimlo]

Does a development contract stop us from selecting him for some games?

 

[McHunt]

'You're obsessed' would also be acceptable.

Nothing wrong with being obsessed with the Broncos.

 

[Big Pete]

Does a development contract stop us from selecting him for some games?

He won't be available until mid-season unless there are injuries.

It's a pretty easy system to exploit, although it will be interesting if either Walters or Paix suffer an injury whether Kev will go with Mozer right away.

Nothing wrong with being obsessed with the Broncos.

Course not, we're all living proof. >_>

 

[Sproj]

Unless the club sees Madden as a potential 9?

 

[Chewed]

Development players can play after round 11, but if there's COVID they can be selected. Club just has to show the tests.

 

[Foordy]

Does a development contract stop us from selecting him for some games?

as stated, he'd be available from round 11.

however, we still have at least 1 top 30 spot available (2 if Tesi leaves) ... so a good pre-season could convince the club to hand that spot to him

 

[Chewed]

Wynnum Manly have signed Josh Simm from Super League. A wing/centre. Only 21, wonder if he'll get a look in with Broncos.

"Josh Simm is an English professional rugby league footballer who plays as a centre or winger for the Wynnum Manly Seagulls in the Queensland Cup. He previously played for St Helens in the Super League, where he spent time on loan at Leigh and Hull FC."
