Broncos Player Movement and Rumours 2020

[Super Freak]

I generally don't take what players say to the media too seriously, but this quote concerned me ...



I'm hoping he didn't mean it as it sounds ... because it sounds like he didn't perform too well and that was fine with him ... WTF.

I'm not sure why you would read much into that when in the very next line and pretty much the entire article he speaks about giving his very best.

 

[Thelmus]

I suspect that comment was about getting past your previous shortcomings and not dwelling on errors of the past. At least that's how I interpreted that. I doubt he would have meant it any other. He's been a professional NRL player for a little while now and even if they don't feel the positive attitude, they usually go through the motions of saying things that project a positive attitude.
The ones that don't, never see first grade or fleetingly at best.
Remember we live in an age where the media can take the slightest sniff of something and build a story around it. 1 or 2 of those during your career and you don't have one. Bennet had 1 line that became a public feud. He can do it as he is coach, but look how quickly that built into "pressure on the coach".

Would we be interested in Jackson Hastings?

He is being shopped around. Maybe an attitude adjustment is all he needs? Though if he doesn’t get along with Manly players, maybe he is alright afterall?

:porthozthinksthisishot:

Jackson and jayden used to live together in sydney - no coincidence both are on the scrap heap.

Are we about to gain one Corey and lose another?

This rumour from Nick Tedeschi.......

"Corey Norman is expected to sign with the Broncos for the 2019 season....... Corey Oates is on the verge of signing with South Sydney."

I love his weekly blog, but not sure on the accuracy of his intel

I'm not sure if we come out on top with that player transfer...it would give us a solid kicking game

I’m sure we don’t.
One has a terrible attitude but has the skills to put together a good game when he wants to.
The other tries his guts out every time, has a great combination of skills and physical attributes with the only thing letting him down occasionally being his hands.
I’d take Norman for the right price (read as cheap - but really don’t think we need him) but never at the expense of Oates.
Nor any of the upcoming halves we’ve got either for that matter - proven or not.

 

[Unbreakable]

Probably unpopular opinion, but I would take Norman back in a heart beat to be completely honest. I rate him similarly to Hunt overall, and we could probably get him at 50% of the price.

Better short kicking game for sure.

I'm with you. If Bennett can get Norman's head right he and Milford would make a great partnership. This rumour is not too had to believe as both Nolan and Bennett have a high opinion of Norman.

 

[Morkel]

We had both Ah Mau's at the same time. Leeson never played for us in first grade but he was training with the first grade squad.

I want this guy to be right because I want Norman back at the club, but mostly because any that starts an article with 'Phil Rothfield is shit' deserves all the respect and acclaim available.

That paragraph is literally the greatest thing ever written ... definitely Pulitzer worthy :biggrin:

 

[john1420]

I too would take Norman back, but I don't really want to lose Oates

And yeah, it was an awesome opening to the article, saying Slothfield was shit :)

 

[Kyall]

Yes to Norman but not at the cost of losing Oates.

 

[Renegade]

What's Norman done in his time away to make everyone think he's worth the coin he'd be asking for?

Would rather continue with bird until the likes of paix are ready.

Yeah, I don't get it at all. He's also a bigger douchebag than most players. I'd rather have Pearce to be honest.

I guess we are really desperate for a half, but I wouldn't trust him to be a worthwhile long term signing. Maybe just a year, two at the MOST, so we can find someone else before he infects the club too much.

Isn’t Norman a running 5/8 the exact same as we have now.

 

[broncos4life]

No. He has shown plenty of game management skills and has a great kicking game.

 

[pagey]

No , he has all the attributes to be great but jis attitude is holding him back
