Josh Dugan

You're evil.

 

[GCBRONCO]

You're evil.

Yeah, how dare you get Josh Dugan's hopes up like that.

Craig Hodges will be an assistant coach at the Titans next season.

Maybe a ploy to keep ash Taylor there long term ?

Jackson Hastings is a bigger ball hog then Hoffman..No thanks.

Also has a few problems in a team environment. He is only young and probably will improve in that area but a disruptive personalty isn't what any team needs.

 

[Rally Towel]

If the rumours are true about Hunt being off to the eels, would getting someone like Jackson Hastings be an option? I don't think he was given a fair go at the Roosters and along with Nikorima were fall guys really.

My objective opinion?

**** that little weasel faced shit bag.

BRISBANE are continuing their aggressive recruitment drive with the Broncos launching a poaching bid for Cowboys sensation Kalyn Ponga.

Having snared former Kiwi Test skipper Benji Marshall, the Broncos are now making a play for the young gun rated the next Johnathan Thurston.

But the Broncos face major competition to snare Ponga, who has interest from six NRL rivals, including the Titans, and is being chased by the AFL’s Brisbane Lions.

The 18-year-old underlined his rare talent last month when he made a scintillating NRL debut on the wing in the Cowboys’ epic extra-time finals defeat of the Broncos.

North Queensland are aware of AFL’s interest and held talks with Ponga’s manager Wayde Rushton on Monday in a bid to keep Ponga in Townsville beyond next season.

There is speculation Ponga could sensationally quit the NRL to play for the Lions in 2018, but Rushton wants to keep him in rugby league as the Broncos and Titans circle the attacking whiz.

“The Queensland clubs have expressed interest in Kalyn’s availability,” Rushton said.

“There has been a lot of interest, he is a popular player for someone so young.

“He’s contracted for 2017 with the Cowboys and I had a conversation with the club (on Monday).

“There was an offer from the Cowboys earlier this season and for the benefit of Kalyn, the family knocked it back and wanted to go to the open market to test his worth.

“I am flying up to Townsville on Friday to catch up with Kalyn’s family and continue the process of securing him a contract in rugby league.”

Brisbane have been active in the player market in recent months. The Broncos have secured Marshall, prop Mitchell Dodds and Titans winger David Mead for next season and are targeting Gold Coast prop Ryan James for 2018.

The Broncos have a history with Ponga, who held a scholarship with the club in 2013 before the Cowboys sneaked under Brisbane’s guard to lure him to Townsville.

Doubt we'd get him - his old man has prostiuted him around before he played a game.

Any my word on Napa coming or are we seriously in for James? It seems we've signed some decent squad players (I do like dodds coming back though) but need a big forward signing. Is it going to come?

wayne must want to be home for that to announce a big signing ....well I bloody hope so

 

[Morepudding]

Keep in mind, players like Napa and James are contracted for next year, and from my understanding, neither player has been told he can find another club, meaning they aren't meant to be approached until November 1st. My guess is we will hear things over the first 2 weeks of November.

This rule doesn't exist anymore

Yeah , but i think there will be more noise after November 1 about signings for 2018 .

 

[Porthoz]

It's the 30 of June rule that doesn't exist anymore.

The 1st of November is simply the official new NRL season start date, which is when a player's contract can be registered for the following season (eg a contract for the 2018 season onwards, can be registered on the 1st of November 2016).

This is poorly worded, but I think he's implying that Cowboys, Titans & Broncos have made signings which require the "10 day cooling off period".

Broncos - Benji Marshall
Titans - Kevin Proctor
Cowboys - ??

Cowboys - Jt and Green have decided to open up a chain of childcare centres as sooking is their field of expertise?

I think it means he's going on holidays, and therefore expects all the big news to happen while he's away.
