Kinda close to fact re Parramatta ... But nfi who the forward they mention is. His stuff is normally so far speculative and open ended its not funny.

Whoops, I actually confused Gold Coast with Sunshine Coast.
I meant he hasn’t cracked a full time spot in first grade. He’s only played half a dozen games for Melbourne, and was meal frogged by Croft.

Brisbane Broncos consider Melbourne playmaker Ryley Jacks
April 5, 2018
MELBOURNE playmaker Ryley Jacks has been offered to the Broncos amid fears halves Anthony Milford and Kodi Nikorima lack the cohesion to break Brisbane’s 12-year premiership drought.
Storm coach Craig Bellamy is keen to retain Jacks, but the off-contract halfback is struggling to consistently break into a Melbourne scrumbase featuring Cameron Munster and Brodie Croft.
That has prompted Jacks to explore his options on the open market, with his management contacting the Broncos last week to gauge their interest in signing the 25-year-old.

Jacks is currently on $150,000 a season at Melbourne and is seeking around $300,000 annually for his next deal.
While Broncos coach Wayne Bennett is backing the Milford-Nikorima alliance, Brisbane’s playmaking depth is poor, with back-up Troy Dargan — a 20-year-old recruit from Parramatta — unproven at NRL level.
Jacks has impressed Bellamy since being blooded in the NRL last year.
But after 13 games at the Storm, the Brisbane-born playmaker is determined to secure a more permanent NRL position.
“I’ve mentioned Ryley to the Broncos. We’ve had some informal dialogue to gauge their interest in Ryley,” said his manager Paul Hogan.
“Ryley would be the perfect fit for the Broncos. He was in their system as a teenager and he grew up in Brisbane, he went to school at St Laurence’s so he knows the area well and would happily settle back in Brisbane.
“We need to find the right fit for him in the NRL. Ryley doesn’t want to be somewhere for a year and have to move on, we would like something longer-term for him.
“We’ve also had some chats with Melbourne, but Ryley is currently exploring his options on the open market.”
Jacks has been a revelation for Melbourne’s feeder-club Sunshine Coast in the past two seasons, steering the Falcons to the Intrust Super Cup grand-final against PNG last year.
Former Queensland Origin lock Scott Sattler has watched Jacks closely in his role as a commentator on the ISC and says Jacks would be a good foil for Milford at the Broncos.
“Brisbane should look at signing Ryley,” Sattler said.
“Jacks would be good for the Broncos as long as they had a dynamic five-eighth working with him, so in that case, he would perfectly complement someone like Anthony Milford.
“I actually think Ryley should be the starting No.7 for Melbourne, but they are backing Brodie Croft instead.
“Jacks is definitely NRL quality. He has control, he’s a good organiser, he has a fantastic kicking game and he can execute a game plan.
“You just need a running five-eighth outside him and that could be Anthony Milford or Kodi Nikorima, who can play what they see.”

Surely we can afford 300k for him. He looks the goods.

Yeah but Thaiday is going and I'm very confident Sims won't be retained. Plenty of room for TPJ and Jacks, Oates is probably gone.

I must've been watching a different Ryley Jacks, he seemed like another stock standard average Halfback from what I've watched of him. Would absolutely prefer someone like Sezer if the opportunity arises.

He
He essentially is Sezer from what I’ve seen. Half the price tag though I imagine.
