Broncos Player Movements and Rumours 2013

[bb_gun]

Spot on mate & I'm still holding my breath for that Warrior!!

Well this article might be good news then:

If Friend stays next year, Leuluai would probably remain in the halves with Townsend??? It's all just wishful thinking obviously but god I hope so.

Hasler or Bellamy still have gamebreakers. Slater/Cronk/Smith/Barba. It's exactly what AP is saying, these guys are good players and they will be serviceable, but they'll never be greats. We're expecting them to be greats because we don't have gamebreakers. This is where we are falling down. Yes it's partially coaching but I don't think Bellamy or Hasler would win the premiership with our squad.

Agreed. At the same time, we have game breakers too, but they all went downhill when Lockyer retired and when JYY broke his leg.

IMO, Hodges, Gillett, Glenn, Hoffman (and JYY) were/are/can be game breakers, but not at the Broncos any more.

If Hasler or Bellamy had our squad for as long as he's had the Storm, for mine we would be in the top 4. I think we under-rate our talent ... except dummy half and FB

Man we blew it big time by rejecting Dugan

That sounds like great news to me. The door seems to be certainly wide open.

 

[rnabokov]

Yeah you fell for the bait, just like the Barba and Dugan rumors. Gullible lot you are.

Nah, you're great, I love you all

Was the "Dugan rumour" a rumour? Looked like we were serious ... no, we weren't. He didn't dress like a priest

 

[Son Edo]

You're right,

 

[Pigskin]

Wow we as fans are whingers aren't we? We want a great player, that's an X factor, that is squeaky clean and isn't greedy....

There has only been two players ever that I have seen that tick all those boxes. One retired in 2011 and the other is trying his damn hardest to get back on the field in any compacity after one of the most horrific injuries I have seen

Kelly would be a great signing, but gee will **** it up so rest easy that 'greedy' prick won't be coming

fair go ... the guy has been sacked from 18 clubs, was given a lifeline and is going "ok", and now is whinging in public about his contract ... greedy sums it up perfectly actually

he is not state of origin standard and ticks very few boxes actually

Oink !

That's your opinion... I think he would be the kind of spark we need and to be completely honest I couldnt give a **** if hes whinging about his contract. "oh no, he is whinging about his contract boo hoo hoo". Look around, its not like we can be too choosey

1) Locke
6) Leuluai
7) Johnson
9) Friend

or

1) Locke
6) Johnson
7) Townsend
9) Friend

14) Lueluai

? The only thing that could change things is if they get Tomkins.

Seriously? As pigskin said, he was on the scrapheap and Titans offered him a lifeline. 6 months later he has the hide to be bitching that he deserves more money?

FFS the guy should be on his knees before Cartright and thanking god he's anywhere near the NRL.

Don't want someone with that kind of attitude.

Plus he's not that good.

Unless they promised him more if he played well, and have now gone cold on it ?

Really, how would any of us know what's really going on ??:001_rolleyes:

 

[Pigskin]

broncos4life ... you have to distinguish between a quality SOO standard player that becomes available and a run of the mill player that becomes available

Kelly is a club player at best with like Coxy says and I alluded to "a questionable attitude", ticks a couple of things we need, but lacks more than he ticks

I think we can be choosey with regard to players of his calibre

Oink !

Exactly. I was happy to give Dugan the benefit of the doubt despite him being a massive douchebag, because his ability on the field is something special. Unfortunately his douchebaggery couldn't be contained long enough to let the ink dry on a contract.

For a fringe player with a history like Kelly I wouldn't be so keen to risk it.

 

[jarro65]

It'll be a non-event anyway.

I'm sure the Titans won't let him go.

Why does it need to be a SOO standard player. In case you haven't realised there are very few even half decent halves running around, and much less of them available.

As for being greedy, we have no idea the conditions of his contract, but I'm assuming there are conditions in is contract based on onfield and off field performance and if he met them he would receive an upgrade... I'm guessing the titans aren't coming through with the upgrade

 

[Coxy]

It doesn't have to be a SOO player, but it's not until you get to a player of that calibre that you'd start accepting glaring attitude issues.

 

[SSS]

If we were in the position of say Melbourne or souths I'd agree...but when we are in the position at round 13 where a successful season from here is not winning the wooden spoon...can we really be that fussy?

 

[Pigskin]

This is only my personal opinion, but to me it doesn't matter whether we run 6th or last ... this season is almost written off now and I would like to see us use the remainder of this year to blood and build for the future

a diabolical finish to the season could see a cleanout of Ricky Stuart proportions and to me that wouldn't be so bad either

I say 6th because if you run 7th or 8th, you are most likely cannon fodder in week 1 of the finals anyway

Oink !

Well, yes. Because spending big on a loose cannon like Kelly could well backfire and the only outcome is we've wasted cap space on a bloke to play Queensland Cup ... or worse.
