I think you will find over the next month or 2, Winslow, that we will have quite a bit of coinage up our sleeve to splash on a good player or 2
Hang in there and all will be revealed
Yeah this act is getting old now.

Starting to shit me too, my quality sauces laugh at this. Unless bird backflips on his salary which is apparently seen at best for 500k in Sydney town at the moment.

A particular club just wants to see Jack get through some pre-season training unscatched and to see how he pulls up re: his previous injuries.

As much as I want this to be true, I'm a little bit skeptical about this reasoning.A particular club just wants to see Jack get through some pre-season training unscatched and to see how he pulls up re: his previous injuries.

For one, if they need him in a pivotal role they'd want to get him in there ASAP so they could do their own conditioning and team building.
Second, if they were concerned about his recovery, they'd have their own physio assess him. If there's a legitimate concern, and that's their response, that sounds like a "no."
Third, right now, the Broncos are desperate to free some cash for a halfback, and any voiced uncertainty about Bird's recovery puts the other party in a stronger negotiating position. If they're using that as leverage, they could get him cheaper. Makes no sense to wait.

Seeding the rumour that Croft has competition puts the Broncos in a stronger negotiating position. The Storm might be more willing to bend a little if there's a chance they'll be stuck with an unwanted salary on their books.Phew it's only Ritchie
Somehow we don't have enough cash for Croft at $400k, but then have enough cash for Green at $600k.

I would be happy if Green was offered a two year deal and not just a single season. I'd be extra happy if Croft ended up here too! Unlike others I don't believe Millionford is (or has been) particularly good in any position but I'd be happy with him at halfback to Green. He hasn't blown me away at 5/8 or fullback and I'd say he's only worth half of that which he receives based solely on his performance and without consideration of his potential.

I would be happy enough with Green for one year, and one year only, while Dearden gets a year to mature a bit physically.
I'd prefer Croft, who would most likely be cheaper and at least has the potential to go to the next level. Competition between Croft and Dearden would force both to improve or be left behind.

This is complete and utter BS, my info is this.
Dragons wont and cant pay more than 450-500 for him.
Sharks he has little interest in going back to at this point.
Penrith wont offer more than 650.
Parramatta have been all over the shop, so i don't believe their 750 is true.
Please state your facts to which team and how much.

and he is back into training with us and expressed no desire publicly to move. Everything he has said has been positive about staying.
Talk of him moving has been around for over two years now, most of it comes from Slothfield and he is still here...
One of the times he was ‘rumoured’ to being on the move, was when he removed the Brisbane Broncos label from his insta page (along with virtually everything else). Deadset this is being used as a ‘sign’ he is on the move...
But now his profile photo is of him in a Broncs training singlet, so obviously the same ‘logic’ applies and he is definitely staying?
Why do I doubt that consistency?

With Bird, I was actually thinking he would make sense for the Roosters. If Latrell is truly on the outer and moving clubs for 2020, Bird is a perfect replacement. First option, he can be used as 6 to partner Keary in the halves, and if that isn't successful, he can move to the centre spot vacated by Latrell.
I mean, it's unlikely, but he makes a lot of sense for them.

Last time we apparently had no money we signed Richie Kennar. Our cap isn't fucked, certain people at the club are using it as an excuse to attempt to low ball players to come play for us because they are used to the Broncos signing people on unders but we don't have that advantage anymore.

Roosters are too good at roster management to sign Bird. Heard they were looking at Bronson Xerri, which would be a great signing for them.

Well we were apparently over the cap when Seibold got here and then he signed someone on a minimum contract, meaning we weren't actually over the cap when he got here because the NRL wouldn't have allowed the signing at all

Can't remember the exact words used but I thought he said something more along the lines of "we have cap issues" Can't remember him saying we were actually over but I could be wrong.
