Broncos Player Movements and Rumours 2013

[Morkel]

So does that mean we are also rorting the salary cap.

Internationals
Thaiday
Hodges
Parker
Glenn
Hoffman
Prince
Reed
Hannant

State of Origin

Gillett
Wallace


Any other coach would be envious to have this type of roster.

If we were hanging on to Wallace I'd say yes, but because he's a straight swap for Barba I'm sure we're in the clear. Adding Hoppa to the Manly roster though, that's definitely cheating ;)

Especially seeing that he's asking price is 850k and won't leave the eels for less... seriously WTF?!?

 

[vertigo]

Are you serious mate ??

Yes, just like Folau the Mormon church leech off player's huge contracts.

What? He hasn't played for Australia in 5+ years, and he's on chump change.

I think that was in line (and also Wallace) with Morkel listing Ballin, Williams, King and Buhrer as Origin reps.

 

[Foordy]

Are we chasing hopoate. His manager says if Stuart walks to Canberra there will be no guarantees he will be at the eels next year.

Sportal's Lurker says he has a get out clause in his Eels contract if Stuart is not coaching them and Hopoate is likely to exercise it as long as another club will match the Eels 850K contract.

Paul Kent shot down the 'clause' because when Hoppa signed The coach was Kearney.

 

[Kimlo]

Lol, 850k for Hoppa, only the Eels would pay that much. I wouldn't go near him at that price.

 

[Foordy]

especially when he has been out of the game for 2 years

 

[Kimlo]

Yep, just ridiculous. I don't know if the figure is true but based on 450k for Norman, 550k for Sandow (what was it for Lussick? lol!) I can imagine them being stupid enough to pay that figure.

Farah signed for just under a million, I would pay 950k for Farah over 850k for a mission returning Hoppa.

 

[Big Pete]

Willie Tonga is supposedly on 350K too.

Awesome buy that. :laugh:

 

[Kimlo]

The worst thing for an Eels fan is, will things get any better next year?

 

[Browny]

The question is, do we care lol

 

[Kimlo]

The question is, do we care lol

I do, if they keep buying out our terrible players at prices they can't refuse!

 

[Kimlo]

Here's hoping Stuart leaves for Canberra and they offer Griffin 1 million a year and he chooses to take Kearney with him.

 

[Harry Sack]

Willie Tonga is supposedly on 350K too.

Awesome buy that. :laugh:

Tonga is a massive enigma. Was certainly, IMO, worth 350 around the time he was purchased.

 

[Kimlo]

I don't think BP is disputing his value at the time but rather that it turned out to be a (one of many) dud purchase.

What happened to him anyway?

Fair amount of injuries this season from memory.
