Broncos Player Movement and Rumours 2015

[broncos4life]

I really don't get the hype on Napa. He can put a decent hit on but I've not seen him offer much in attack ,despite his size. He does have some developing to do, but I'll be surprised if he ever establishes himself as top tier.

I'm with you in I have never understood the hype around Napa, outside of the odd big hit I never see him do much

He's just living off the hit he put on Gallen a couple of years back. Think that says more of public opinion of Paul than it does of Nana's potential.

In fairness, I haven't seen him play many minutes. He may well have a good motor and be an effective grinder (as opposed to an impact player) ala Ash Harrison or Nate Myles. Still would be disappointed if we picked him up for anything but bottom dollar.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Don't know about Napa, but we do need someone like him. Someone with a bit of mongrel in them.

 

[BroncosAlways]

Nothing article IMO, just a journo seeing that he's leaving and resurrecting an old rumour.

 

[Anonymous person]

Nate Myles turns 30 this year, he's hardly a spring chicken. Bennett needs to stop signing oldies.

 

[Super Freak]

No more forwards.

We need fucking wingers.

Chris Garry writes in the Telegraph that Inglis wants to finish his career in brisbane. Will try to link article . Sure it's probably in CM as well

GREG Inglis wants to finish his career at the Broncos, the club he rejected in 2010 just days after agreeing to a handshake deal.Inglis is the most in demand footballer of any code and has admitted he is considering his options for next season despite being contracted to South Sydney until 2017.
A million dollar transfer fee will stop the Broncos or any NRL club from taking him off the Rabbitohs.
However, two agents in Europe are shopping Inglis to clubs on behalf of his manager Allan Gainey.
The Sunday Mail can reveal that Inglis hopes to his finish his career in the Queensland capital after buying a house in Brisbane suburb Sandgate last year.
He spent more than a month of the off-season renovating the house with wife Sally.
Gainey said the Wayne Bennett factor meant the Broncos were an option for his client’s next contract but regardless of his next move Inglis wanted to settle in Brisbane.
Sally will be periodically living in their Sandgate house this year and it is the place Inglis wants to settle down in to finish his footballing life.

Inglis spent his final years of high school in Brisbane while attending Wavell State High.
“He has bought a house in Brisbane and Sally is living up there at times during the year,” Gainey said.
“That’s where he will eventually settle.
“He is enjoying life. He’s very busy.


“He spent the eight weeks up in Brisbane. He is doing up a house up there and when he’s not playing that’s where he spends most of his time.
“Now that Wayne is there the Broncos are a chance.”
The Broncos believed they had Inglis in 2010, but on the day he was meant to fly up to sign the deal he reneged.
The ramifications are still being felt by the Broncos, who have struggled since he knocked them back.
Still only 28, Inglis’s next deal will be his most important.
His contract with South Sydney runs out at the age of 30 meaning he will have only five years left in the code.
He would ideally spend half of that in Europe before settling in with the Broncos.


The Australian Rugby Union is also considering an approach to Inglis.
It would be almost impossible for the ARU to raise the funds to pay South Sydney’s transfer fee and their only chance of getting him would be once his deal at the Rabbitohs finished.
“He has two years to go on his contract but I am getting inquiries every day. Even the Sheffield Eagles, a division two club contacted me,” Gainey said.
“He is captain of Souths so I don’t think he is considering moving any time soon.
“It would be a monstrous transfer fee payable to South Sydney. Souths won’t let him walk.”

sounds like he will want a retirement pay check from us ... but won't come until 32 (off contract at Souths when he is 30, spends a couple of years in Europe, then comes to us)

No thanks

 

[ivanhungryjak]

In two minds about this one. It's Greg Inglis - would love to have him.

But

He screwed us over in 2010 and now wants his retirement funded in his cozy Sandgate house, probably with a job afterwards at the club.

 

[Unbiased Nostalgia]

It's an interesting proposition. A rare opportunity to gain a quality player like him, anyone would take that opportunity with both hands. We'll have wait and see how it pans out.

 

[Morkel]

No way. He treated the club like a whore last time when he pissed off last minute for a club that would rub his balls and say they liked it. No way should Brisbane become the ball fondler.

 

[Old Mate]

Nah he can get fucked.

 

[Bull Shark]

putting aside the fact that there is absolutely nothing to the above "story", again this scenario would come to down value just like with Cameron Smith last year ... Why would you as a club want to offer Greg Inglis the biggest (NRL) contract of his career at a point in his career when you more than likely wouldn't be getting the best version of Greg Inglis?

 

[Art Vandelay]

Depending on how things shake out you'd have to think the Titans are a chance to go after Glenn, a (seemingly) clean living edge backrower with family on the coast.

 

[Alec]

I also think it's unlikely we'll keep both Thaiday and Glenn who are both off contract this yaer.

It's also unlikely we'll not keep Thaiday.

 

[Morkel]

They were thin on NRL-standard backrowers as it was. They'll now have a tonne of cash to lure some of the better ones in the NRL that are underpaid or frustratingly behind other more established first graders. Like Oates. He may have just re-signed, but iron clad doesn't describe NRL contracts these days. We'll dangle Lowrie & Stagg at them and the rest can hide in a bunker IMO.
