2025 Pre-season discussion. Training the house down.

Payne could be a real possibility of being the future captain of the team.
Have a feeling we are going to see different Payne Haas this year under Madge.

Madge wants to unlock angry haas with stepped on shoes. Use it on the field he says.

 

[Jedhead]

Not sure angry Haas- like in origin is sustainable for a whole season, unless of course he plays much fewer minutes.

Article in the Tele where Payne Haas provides some updates:

- imposed a booze ban for himself for all of 2025
- great opportunity under Madge to do so ething special
- getting flogged in preseason excites him
- will be fully fit for round 1
- will be back to full training in a fortnight
- shouldn't have played game against Dolphins where injured

Hopefully the very high standards Payne sets for himself rubs off on your other players and they follow his lead.

I'm sure he does realise .. I think he is putting up the info for us that don't have access?

He should be playing less minutes

**** I hope not. He is a dumbass and has pulled way to much shit in the past to be able to trust him with a key position at the club. I would like our captain to be intelligent and show proper leadership qualities. Patty fits that mould and should be the next captain end of story. There is no one else at the club besides Reynolds who could hold a candle to him in regards to captaincy.

You blokes now into $9 third favourites for the premiership next year. A flood of money has come after the Madge appointment. Expect your odds to shorten even further should Hunt be signed up.

Might have to drop a few grand on youse meself before the price shortens even further Just don't tell me Rabbitohs family and forum members down here I've jumped onboard

 

[YeahNahMate]

One thing that I love about Madge is his voice isn’t irritating as **** to listen to like Seibold, o brien, Demetriou, Jason ryles etc

Yeah mate even Kev was rough to listen to at times, a lot of stuttering and so on.

 

[YeahNahMate]

They were doing good until the NRL changed the rules mid season is my recollection .

Would’ve been interesting to see what would’ve happened in 2020 if COVID didn’t disrupt the season. We obviously handled it the worst out of all the clubs.

Unconvincing cliches was Kevie by the end.

I doubt it’s a flood of money, it is in all likelihood the bookies adjusting things on the weight of probability that things will be different for us next year given the obvious coaching change.

I doubt punters load up their TAB app and decide to unload into the NRL Futures market in the pre-season, you’d at the very least want to see a game or two, we could be even worse, who is to say?

I worked for a bookie, normally it is weight of money, especially those early markets. In saying that it wouldn't take much these days.

Every time I’ve heard someone speak about him they’ve always mentioned he’s much more intelligent than what they were expecting. I think the one interview I specifically remember was one with Ben Ikin praising him. People do all sorts of dumb shit when they are young, people go to prison and turn their life around. Trials and tribulations are the making of some people. Could possibly make someone even wiser, more of a leader than a person who hasn’t gone through any rough shit in their life. Maybe a young player who’s going through some shit *cough* *cough* Ezra Mam, would relate to someone like Haas and his story more and be inspired and or actually believe it’s possible to make something better of themselves.

With that being said if someone like Patty wasn’t at the club then I’d give Payne a real shot but Patty’s loyalty/love for the broncos makes him the obvious choice.

As far as Paynes actual qualities is concerned I think he is someone who other players would respect. If he told you to do something you’d listen. He has that aura when he walks into a room. Like I said if Carrigan wasn’t at the club then I’d definitely consider Payne. Especially at this point in his life when he is settling down with his family and what not.

I reckon Corey Parker's done a crash course at the Trump College of Logic and Creative thinking ... Kotoni at #6 while Ezra gets his crap together ... why not go the whole hog and move Payne to full back and stick Reece in the front row.

Things could look very different at the Broncos at the start of next season. Details here.

*Willison, there was that one time he ended up at fullback somehow, so he's the 1.
