Broncos Player Movement and Rumours 2020

[Midean]

To be frank,he's no real loss. I've seen more ball security in a pair of Step ones.

Best undies I've ever owned. Would recommend.

Isn't Hoppa basically on minimum wage though?
We need to start shopping around some of these players that are on say 800k-1mill a year

That will be like those times in school when you try to trade cat eye marbles for the good marbles.

It’s impossible. No one wants them.

According to Dobbo. Hoppa has been granted a release and is being shopped around.

I wouldn't really say he's being shopped around... he's likely on a bottom dollar deal and wants to head back to Sydney.

No real benefit to Brisbane in losing him because we've gotta find another bottom dollar player to replace him.

It would be nice if we got a workhorse middle forward with some mobility... but I don't know who would be available.

We've basically gotta find a discard from some other team or does a guy like Bullemor or Niu get promoted to the top 30 squad??

I'm lost with how the salary cap is working this year

No one will touch any of the expensive guy on the roster for sure, so to shop them around you’re going to have to chip in like 75%, yuck!

That'd honestly be a win for some of them. We could get a better winger for 125,000 then oates, a better 5/8th for 250,000 then milf, and definitely a better centre then boyd for 20 bucks....

Pretty sure he wanted to leave in preseason, wants to be in Sydney.

Brent Read has an article in the Australian today talking about Paul Whites replacement. He mentions Dave Donaghy from the Storm and Ben Ikin as contenders.

Yeah, but according to the NRL rules you'd need to convince another club out there that those guys are worth anything close to that sum.

So basically you're relying on @broncsgoat to be appointed Head Coach or CEO of a rival club, because outside of that circumstance we're basically a snowball's hope of offloading any of those guys without funding most of the deal ourselves.

I'd be more then happy for the club to chip in half of the million dollar man's contract.
Unfortunately though, I don't think there is a club silly enough to pay the other 500k..

Ben Ikin.. Geez, that may well split his and Kent's relationship up... We couldn't have that!
I wouldn't want to listen to 2 other blokes more then those two continue to criticize our every move more.
Ben has actually made some decent comments about the club this week, especially regarding our recruitment and retention, so maybe he'd go alright.
Couldn't be much worse tbh.

Donaghy should be the priority for sure.

**** Ikin... he doesnt give a shit about the Broncos... this is also CEO we're talking about not a position on the board.

 

[Waynesaurus]

One thing is for farkin sure, it shouldn't be a member of a 'boys club' or a 'job for mate'. We need a good operator and somebody who isn't associated with the current mob.

Ikin? The ****? What qualifications or experience does he have that would even warrant the suggestion?

He's on the board of the QRL and they're probably just about the benchmark organisation in the game of Rugby League.

 

[Skyblues87]

Ikin on nrl 360 a couple of weeks ago picked his origin team for this year. He had Oates at 2 and Ponga on the bench. FMD.
He does however keep the Broncos in the news and doesnt hold back. Not sure that he would be good as a CEO.
