NEWS Brisbane Broncos confirm they are going after Rabbitoh Cody Walker

[broncsgoat]

I originally wanted Jessica Alba as my wife. By your reckoning my wife of thirty years don't count. How silly.

Jessica Alba would have been 8 years old when you got married.

Cool story bro

White hasn’t landed anyone he’s actually wanted for a long time.

This is a great point. I think the only top choice he's landed during his tenure was Wayne in 2014. Every other big name we've gone after, player or coach, has been a big no.

I'm not sure how White & Co. think about current recruitment, but we used to buy a few big tested names on the market and fill the rest in with juniors from the club, occasionally buying a cheap back up for depth. Cody Walker goes against that thinking.
If we are to buy externally, we best look to a genuine leader in the team, with the right attitude, who plays consistently. I'm not sure Cody fits that bill and I'm not sure there are too many on the market that do.

Ponga is the only player the Broncs should be targetting.

What an absolute rubbish series of articles there. Not one single quote from anyone at the Broncos saying they are interested, not even a 'paraphrased' quote. Pure speculation masquerading as inside info. 'Journalism' is absolute rubbish these days.

And the sooner we all accept that fact and treat such articles accordingly, the better off we'll all be.

A big NO to a 31 year old Cody Walker. He's no use to us, especially for the big dollars he'd want.

Let Milf and Dearden have the year together to develop and they could very well turn into the crack halves pairing we've been missing all these years.

 

[Broncapz]

...just where is the salary cap space going to come from?

 

[heartly87]

This would be a signing that makes no sense at all. Seibs and the club have all indicated that they are looking to the youth being developed and Seibs has stated Dearden is the future. Milf is not the issue in fact he will be playing his best football for us very soon with Dearden by his side.

The article lists all the young talent we have around us. Also the media has gone on and on about how we have very little cap room to hold onto our youth haha but we have the bank for a play at Moses, Burgess and Walker. Give me a fucking break.

The media wants our youth gone and love the idea of us being shit.

No Seibs will retain the best of our youth that he can and i don't see us breaking the bank on experience. We need to use the Melbs model and fill in our ranks with solid journeyman who will do a job. A club should only be paying top dollar for 3 blokes and really all that money should be spent in the spine.

The only spot that we could spend a bit on is fullback and that money is spent so hopefully Boyd can roll on and put some real form games together.

Maybe the board is just being ruthless and starting to show interest in players we dont actually want. Making other clubs break their banks trying to hold onto players. Its been happening to us for years so about time we give some back.

Just smacks of a troll to me. Stir the pot down at Souths, maybe get them to up the price to keep him...win win.

While making our players aware that no one is safe, training and playing consistently matters.

He has just recently bought a house in Brisbane. Read into that what you will [emoji6]

Brisbane property is where the money is going nowadays Sydney and Melbourne too high

He's also from northern rivers area isn't he??

Maybe he intends to move to QLD near his relatives after he retires from the rabbitohs

 

[Kimlo]

He's getting into property investment and will retire at season's end.

We competed to sign Bird, milford, Seibold and Roberts. What BS.. Not even mentioning the 10+ juniors we currently have on our roster that were strongly courted by numerous clubs (eg haas, fifita, dearden)

 

[Unbreakable]

I don’t see Cody coming.

Hedging ya bets Joe? :P

 

[Jason Simmons]

White hasn’t landed anyone he’s actually wanted for a long time.

Jack Bird, Anthony Milford, James Roberts, TPJ, Matt Lodge, James Segeyaro and so on...

 

[Slippin Jimmy]

Seibold too.
