3. Kurt Capewell (400K) (2024)

4. Tesi Niu (350K) (2023)

What’d you do with Carrigan?!

 

[Slap the pokies]

Toss of the coin between Carrigan and Flegler

 

[BroncsFan]

Toss of the coin between Carrigan and Flegler

I'm taking Carrigan every day over Flegler

 

[Sproj]

I'm taking Carrigan every day over Flegler

Sprojy is sad.

 

[BroncsFan]

Sprojy is sad.

Just for you

1. Carrigan
2. Flegler

 

[Foordy]

how about we finish 2021 and get through 2022 before we start talking about bad positional moves and unrealistic signings for 2023

You're a fucking cheapskate with what you are paying some of these guys. Some of them are even taking pay cuts just to stay with the ever struggling Broncos. Pretty unrealistic particularly Smith and Ponga.

Who are you referring to who will have to take pay cuts?

Capewell for starters, i don't think he came here for 400k. I doubt Hetherington knocked back the Dogs to sign with us for 150k either.

Credit for putting together something to raise a little bit of discussion so i hate to piss in your cornflakes but no way is Capewell's best value or use to us in the centres. Tesi in the centres also sucks. Brenko Lee not listed? Carrigan has already been pointed out as missing from your list. Gamble is a bit of a cult hero, i love him as well, but Hetherington or Carrigan have him covered at lock for mine, Gamble is a starting half or depth.

Props for the effort to list the side though with $ estimates, anyone on here doing it could have holes picked in their teams.

Plus it is a list, automatic like/love post.

Are the thoroughbred’s on here? Can you send this to them. Thx.

I thought Bullemour at prop was a bit weird.....

 

[Thelmus]

Just for you

1. Carrigan
2. Flegler

That's not the fastest back line but with Oates on the other wing we are in for a hell of a 1st hit up.

 

[Broncapz]

We'll beat Melbourne both times, and be a top 4 side. Other sides will pay more than that for Bullemor.

To be honest, I'm not keen on Ponga the mercenary either. I don't think he justifies a million dollar price yet alone a 1.1 million dollar price tag.

 

[McHunt]

Brisbane Broncos 2023:

1. Kalyn Ponga* ($1,100,000) (2029) (Player option for '23 season and could get restless)

He'll switch to union and play for the All Blacks. Or captain Brisbane II. Pick one.

Fantastic player when he's on, but there's something about him I just don't like. Could be the whole mercenary thing...I just wouldn't be comfortable having him play for us.

where is "Andrew Macullough"....???
