Broncos Player Movements and Rumours 2013

[Anonymous person]

Wallace's contract should not be renewed, and tell him as such.

They won't let him go now, he's been with us too long. He'll retire at the broncos. We resigned him last year for 2 years on $350k+. We've invested too much in the nuffy to let him go, and I don't think any other clubs would even be interested in taking him off our hands.

His entire broncos career should be a template for the "mistakes to never make again" book.

So we got about 2.4 million to offer someone for the next 3 years. Who's decent coming off contract over the next 3 years?

Best player on the market is Jamie Lyon.

At least if we signed him we wouldn't have to worry about rep duties.

I don't buy the whole 'keeping him because we've persisted with him for so long' thing, it smacks of bad management.

Our recruitment motto should be this: You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em. Know when to walk away and know when to run.

Sounds like my last relationship bro

Simple, we make Kenny Rogers our new recruitment manager.

I think Griffin could really use someone to help motivate the side, couldn't think of anyone better, hell make him coach he knows what to do with players past their used by date and talk about a man who gives real pre match interviews!

 

[Big Dave]

So what are we looking for?
A fullback, centre, half, and a hard hitting forward

 

[Coxy]

Could also do with a winger, hooker and an impact utility

 

[Bull Shark]

Too late to clone the class of 98' ?

 

[vertigo]

So what are we looking for?
A fullback, centre, half, and a hard hitting forward

Tomkins, Hopoate, Widdop, Tolman (Hala is our hard hitting forward)

Cut all dead weight and play hard ball to get anyone to break contract.

 

[Big Pete]

I don't think Widdop is the half we need.

Could make a decent fullback, but half?

 

[vertigo]

If it wasn't for Victoria sponsoring his family's immigration he would've been a Bronco already.

For what it's worth I don't think he'll leave since he's one of the many players who will stick with Bellamy.

 

[Big Dave]

Just like how Norman was going to stick around to play under our great coach :sleep:

 

[nopatience101]

Izzy is the only player off contract worth pursuing and I don't fancy our chances.

 

[Big Pete]

Mmmm, yeah I didn't really buy that story from the CM. Sure, he supported the Broncos when he was younger, but how many players supported another team when they were younger only to end up somewhere else and never end up playing for them? It was a good thing that he ended up in Melbourne because I don't think he'd be half the player he is if he wasn't surrounded by the players he is.

My issue with signing Widdop as a half is that I really don't see him as that good a play-maker. Good incisive runner but it's not like his passing, kicking or organising is that exceptional. It's his running game that sets him apart, and it helps when you have Slater there to put the defence in two minds.

True, most players that leave there show that they are made to look better by the Storm system.

I'd sign anyone for the halves (give Hunt a decent go) and tell Wal/Prince their time at Red Hill is over next year.
