Damn, man, I'm at work. You need to put hot content like that in spoiler tags or something.

worst captain ever.

CS9 retiring so not on our radar.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

CS9 retiring.

This is my shocked face

links to Moose made me think......um....if he is the answer, what was the question exactly....

Cause...you know, he was ALREADY on our roster not long ago...

But I digress....

Lodge to the Warriors link is interesting. A few things I wonder about it;

1. Is this how Kev looks for a response from these players? Tell them you are thinking of accepting offers for them from other clubs....see what they say back...." but I dont want to leave Kev, tell me what you need for me to do to keep my place?"...aha....you have someone who is willing to buy in. If you dont though....then yeh maybe you dont really belong here after all...

2. Lodge does have an injury history and I assume we should know far more about it than any other team in the league. So if the risk/reward equation is too far out of your favour then the correct due diligence is to consider options like letting them leave for someplace else?

The other thing is the 6-again rule. Should this rule be retained nexts season id have my doubts that Props like Lodge are really the type you should be putting out there. Slow ruck speed, poor lateral movement etc. We were slaughtered with 6-again calls all year, so this may be a tactical reality that Kev has accepted and therefore needs to make a decision with Lodge. Doesn't seem the type to accept a 20 minute bench role so...

Bravo... funny joke

Staggs was one of our very few shining lights. It would be a nightmare to lose him. Imagine our season if you remove all of the points he scored or created.

Could say the same thing for Fifita too...

 

[Foordy]

Could say the same thing for Fifita too...

No you couldn't ... at least from the 2020 season.

He checked out as soon as he signed his record contract from the Titans

 

[Cult]

I wish we had Walters sorted earlier in the season. If we do sign people now it’s going to be people who are unwanted only. We could have had a chop at players like Papalii, Cotric who was vocal about being a Broncos fan. Cotric would have been the ideal replacement for Oates

 

[BroncsFan]

I think you will find that was Patrick Carrigan.

He was for my fantasy team

I call BS on the Lodge shit.... it's fan fiction from Kunt that gets published.

The link to the warriors is just a carry over from last time he was off contract when they offered him $1m kiwi dollery doos. They just bought AFB for $800k, so they dont have cash to splurge in another prop.

In regards to Kevvie tapping players on the shoulder, I daresay he's still in the process of getting Pies username and password unlocked to scope out the spreadsheets to see how far fucked the club actually is.

All this talk of tapping players on the shoulder is click bait garbage... there's no one of note coming off contract or available (except half the Broncos squad apparently) so why clear cap space for no one??

Why?? Because it generates clicks.... Broncos fans are abundant and will click if they think change is afoot so it's the easiest thing to focus on from a "journo" perspective. Apparently 29 of the 30 man squad is going (Macca's safe as usual).

In regards to injury prone... if we're going off this year, he came back to a different sport (thanks 6 again) off a partial ACL tear well underdone with a desperate coach and was then playing on a fractured leg.

I'm not a huge Lodge fan, but I think he has the game to actually adapt to the current Vlandys environment... a guy like Offa was total trash this year and should be gone well before Lodge.

Not to mention that Lodge is a vocal leader within our forward pack. We dont have many of them.

It's typical propaganda bullshit from the Kunts down in NSWRL and will eventually require a statement from the club to tell everyone that it is total trash.

I just hope that Kevvie is behind the scenes communicating with the players, which I think he would be.

The previous method of culling the roster is what has killed us from 2019 onwards

Throw the Murdoch bucks at this.

James Tedesco talks stall on new $3.3m deal as Roosters baulk at ‘outlandish demands’

If roosters think 1.1 Mil a season for Tedesco is overpriced they are surely lunatics.

We still have a salary cap to adhere to.

And if you read the article, you would know that the issue isn't how much Tedesco want but how long the deal is.

Roosters want a 3 year contract, Tedesco wants longer

Wonder if making two crucial errors in a knock out final will affect his chances with the chooks of getting it all his way.

 

[Mustafur]

still would take him for basically anything under 1.5mil if we had it.

 

[Xzei]

I don't believe the narrative that we don't have any money

Two crucial errors in a knockout final for the Roosters?
He’ll probably get bumped off.
