Broncos Player Movement and Rumours 2020

No no you’re wrong. We were still getting Taylor back after signing Bird remember .....

Pisses me off to no end every time someone pulls that one out every time I pose the same thing you did

why?

we were trying to get him back, that's a fact ... we just got outbid by the Titans.

do Bird didn't stop us getting a half back to replace Hunt. if anything negotiating with Taylor too long did (although i can recall if there were any other decent halves on the market at that time)

Thats because its true. Just go back and look at the timeline of when we signed Bird and when we gave up on Taylor. We were clearly still chasing a half. He just didn't want to come here.

Bennett thought he could charm him into coming for a lot less than the Titans had offered.

you're probably right ... but IMO what we reportedly offered was what Taylor was worth.

on the plus side, we spooked the Titans to pay significant overs for him. and they haven't even got close to value for money

Worked for Dale.

Ikin was on ABC radio this morning and confirmed he put in an application for the CEO role.

He must be fairly confident of getting it then otherwise why risk embarrassing yourself.

 

[Painin the Haas]

The shit stirring he gets from Kent on 360 screams he’s a good chance

 

[Kooly87]

Or have a talk to Lachlan. He would be pretty pissed off with the rest of us if he’s fair dinkum.

It should be abundantly clear by now that the owners do not give even the most remote of ***** about the place.

The Fox driven publicity around Ikin recently suggests News Ltd have already made up their mind. Just wish they'd pull the trigger and make the change immediately if that's what they're planning to do.

On 360 Ikin is usually pretty honest in his assessment of the club, he even agreed last night that it is currently a basket case. Get him in there, he can’t do a worse job than the current management.

Not casting aspersions on Ikin whatsoever, just pointing out that we really need to stop saying that. The amount of times the 'things surely can't get any worse' phrase has made fools of us in 2020, we really need to stop tempting fate.

The fact he wants the gig knowing he is walking into a dumpster fire is a good sign imo

Also by stating it before he takes over gives him an out if he kooks it

 

[The real talanoa]

I have been around the game and somewhat on the outside of the club for a while now, however what has been floated around this morning regarding the club and certain people involved is mind blowing.
If even remotely true it will sink the joint.

Maybe, but i have seen many execs over the year only want to take something on if it is running smoothly, its the ones who are genuinely passionate and have a plan (or genuinely stupid) who want to take over a mess. I'm hoping Ikin is the former...

He probably already knows exactly what needs to be done.

As with most of us too i think.
