Agree with Nashy. What is the attraction to join the Broncos now?
No Wayne, No Locky?
Where would you sign..... We will have to pay more for players who previously may have signed for less if we had a great coach or champion player/players

I wouldn't be jumping to drop Prince. I think he offers enough to warrant being in the team.

Buying one player isn't enough to stop me hating on this stupid team at the moment. I love young players, but right now, most of our young guys suck. Like, not just need time, but actually suck dirty scrotum.

Our recruitment as a whole has been pretty poor since we won the Premiership in 2006. We got one really good batch of under 20's players but not much else. Why aren't we recruiting big and fast wingers like other teams?? We have no speed at all.

Re: Norman to Eels

Even if it's true, I believe that technically it can't be official til the deadline....which means Broncos could still get him to stay with a counter offer. A bigger counter offer, oh god.

"Broncos re-sign Norman for 500K to play in QLD Cup"

I'd love to get Johnson. He is worth paying overs for.

Widdop wouldn't be bad, although I'd only want him as a fullback.

Ben Hunt is most likely going to go.

Prince and Wallace can be released.

No, if we signed Shaun Johnson, you lot would still find something to be emo about.

Mate we could sign smith slater cronk and bellemy with bennett in a director of coaching role and someone would find something to be Emo about

I like the calls for Widdop. Particularly as a fullback. I'm not sure which is his preferred position...perhaps he could be lured with the option to play fullback. Also, would offer us an experienced, premeirship winning depth in the halves.

Yeah I agree. I'd love for us to sign Widdop. Very classy player.

Absolutely. If Norman goes, that frees up money, if we're not making a play for Falou, then Widdop would be the first call I make the second after Norman's move is confirmed.

Don't need Widdop. Hopoate should be still coming.

No you don't.
So tell me who has signed a good half in the last few years that hasn't paid a shit load?

Parra paid 550k for Sandow and are paying 450k for Norman, Thurston reportedly for 1 mill, the list goes on. All haves get paid more than what they're really worth under the salary cap because there isn't enough good ones.

On Widdop, is he off contract this year? I'd love to get him here for next year, only 23 years old, would be great at fullback with his ball playing skills. Sign him up on a 4 year contract.

Does anyone really want Folau anymore? He's clearly just a douche.
