The timing of this announcement tells me that we must have been lurking around a few of those names though. I heard a rumour about Carney, but he wasn't going to leave the Sharks for anything less than an outrageous amount. Happy we didn't spend a fortune on Widdop or worse... Soward!
Josh Reynolds wasn't gonna leave the Bulldogs and isn't what we need anyway, but still sad that Dugan is such a wanker!

Have no issue with not chasing anyone else at the moment, as there is no one to chase officially.

Whether the Barba and Johnson rumours are true or not, and they appear quite persistent, we couldn't take any other official stance.

Just six weeks after declaring "we are in the market for a playmaker now" when Corey Norman agreed to join Parramatta, Griffin has confirmed the mooted recruitment drive will not eventuate.

Not surprised at all. Now the smart thing to do is re-sign some of our younger talent and try to make some clever signing if other clubs under 20's stars imo. Buy back some of the young QLD talent.

The way he says several times about 'players just becoming available' screams to me "barba barba barba, we've signed Ben barba"

They better make sure Ben Hunt doesn't leave then, and they'd better get him into shape to play halfback .... and to be creative.

Don't fear the club still has a few tricks up in its sleeve when it comes to recruiting, I'm sure we will make a big announcement of some ex Bronco coming to play in 2014.

Probably a Neville Costigan or Tom Learoyd Lahrs type.

I do get that feeling as well but I am not at all confident about it. Things can change very quickly.

My mail is a current international half is going to sign.

John Plath. He's currently playing for Australia in over 40s Oztag.

It is because club management is reactive instead of proactive

One of the best Broncos' Sons ever. I'd sign him in a heartbeat, as long as he's lost none of his niggle.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it was Berrigan, Tate or Tuquiri. I just have feeling we're going to get all exceited, for it to only be another massive facepalm.

We will get a union player, ARU overspent and need to pull in their money so may drop some players salaries.

I'll be extremely surprised if this happens. They get huge offers from France and Japan so unless they want to live/stay in Brisbane they'll be in for a pay cut I'd imagine.
