I'd rather a broken ass Inglis than a fully fit Reed any day. Not that Reed is fully fit either. He has more than his share of injury concerns as well as his general all-round sh*tness...

Reed hasn't been injury-free since 2011. The year that we should have had Inglis. The year that we were all kind of went "Greg who?" by the end of the year because Inglis was stinking it up for the Wabbits and Reed was beasting it.
 
Losing Arrow to the Sharks? How? Has anyone seen their roster? They'd have as tight a salary cap as we would.
 
I hope to hear Greg Eden in this thread
 
So it's confirmed that the Sharks are the new Roosters?

Interested to know why you think that apart from being a good and loyal supporter.

Parker has maybe another good year left, Sam is hit and miss at best. Yes we have some great potential coming through the forwards but at the moment it's only that.

We all saw how we struggled without our full pack over the last few weeks and we are very thin on the ground for outside backs. Milf and Hunt will become harder to keep with the lack of quality halves around. We will have a POTENTIALLY very good but inexperienced side in just a few years and as early as next year, unless we buy, our backline depth is threadbare.

The young guys coming through are exactly that, unproven talent.

There was a point when Webcke was retiring, civo was about to walk out the door etc when the same words were muttered about experience and what we had coming through. The only player for fertain we lose end of next year is Parker. You mention Thaiday being hit and miss, but leave out McGuire, Blair, Gillett, Glenn, Wallace and Ofahengaue. Parker is all.we are looking at losing end of next year unless we move someone else on and you're all panic stations we need to buy someone... WTF since when did we become the Roosters or Manly?

Calm down boys. Both have some valid points. Dexter, don't stress about milf and hunt, we've never lost halves we wanted to keep. I think the away game after the bye will show us where we are at. Good news on Eden, looks like he is off to castleford. Looked like he was mentally there on Thursday night. Bring on the rookies!

Last I checked you need more than 5 forwards. Offa is potentially good but not there yet. We have other young guns for sure.
My post was about our premiership window not a competitive team happy to discuss but check your uppity attitude.

Yeah, not stressing at all but my point I guess was by keeping them you create pressure for other areas in the cap.
 
Jarrod Wallace set to spurn interest from Cowboys and re-sign with Brisbane

JARROD Wallace is set to pledge his future to the Broncos despite James Tamou’s departure opening a potential starting spot for him in the Cowboys’ engine room.

Wallace has become a man in demand, with the off-contract Broncos prop piquing the interest of Sydney clubs and having his services offered to Queensland rivals the Cowboys.

The Cowboys’ front-row stocks took a hit on Thursday when Tamou informed the club he is heading to Sydney next year. With Cowboys bench bookend Ben Hannant, 31, entering his twilight years, Wallace, at 24, would be an ideal recruit for the premiers as one of the most promising props on the open market.

But after starting against the Raiders in a 26-18 win on Thursday night, Wallace says he is committed to the Broncos and plans to formally ink a two-year extension in the coming weeks.

“This is the club I want to stay at,” Wallace said.

“The Cowboys are a great club, they won the grand final last year and they have some champion players in Johnathan Thurston and Matt Scott who anyone would love to play alongside.

“But my preference is to stay. Anything can happen with contracts, but I love being coached by Wayne Bennett and being mentored by guys like Corey Parker and Sammy Thaiday. I’m happy to be playing my footy here.”

Wallace, a 109kg bookend built like legendary Broncos prop Shane Webcke, has undergone a major metamorphosis in the past two seasons.

In 2014, he barely saw game time under former coach Anthony Griffin and admits his confidence was so low he could have easily been axed by the Broncos.

But the arrival of Bennett and the tutelage of Parker has seen Wallace flourish, instilling the confidence to believe he can one day spearhead Brisbane’s forward pack.

“The last two years I feel like I am starting to fit in a bit more now,” said Wallace, who made 34 tackles in 47 minutes without a miss against the Raiders.

“I am not just the kid coming in filling up the numbers and I put that down to a couple of boys like Corey Parker, he has been a massive mentor to me.

“It was really tough (not getting game time under Griffin).

“If I didn’t have my mentors there and I didn’t have my partner who picked me up at my lowest, who knows where my NRL career would be now?

“I don’t want to ever be comfortable or complacent. I want to be a starting front-rower on a regular basis and if I get the opportunity I will take it with both hands.”

Broncos skipper Parker said Wallace is now an integral part of Brisbane’s quest for their first premiership in a decade.

“In the last 18 months Jarrod has been enormous,” he said. “In his early days, there were some games where he wasn’t put on and I assume it was because some people didn’t trust what he was doing.

“But he has certainly evolved as a young forward. He still has a lot of work to do but I’ve always had a soft spot for Jarrod.

“I feel very proud that he would see me as a mentor because he’s turned into a very handy footballer and hopefully he stays at the Broncos for a long time.”

BRISBANE BECKONS
Brisbane is shaping as a potential destination for James Segeyaro. The hooker is languishing in reserve grade and has no long-term future at the Panthers, who won't stand in his way should he wish to go before June 30.​
​

The Broncos' regular rake, Andrew McCullough, is likely to be sidelined with a fractured thumb for at least another month, and we're hearing last year's grand finalists could make an offer. Segeyaro has received offers to shift to the Super League but is holding out in the hope of resurrecting his NRL career.

Um, yes please. Hell of a depth hooker and you just know Wayne would get the best out of him.
 
If he comes, hopefully is isn't on a too big of a deal.

because as soon as Macca is back, i'd have him playing ISC
 
I would personally say no to Segeyaro unless Kodi is definitely gone end of the year. And even then it be only be a yes if we weren't getting Jayden back.

It's before June 30, don't be shocked if we grab him to replace Kodi and just send Kodi to Melbourne early.
