Broncos Player Movements and Rumours 2013

[jarro65]

1910 Do you think we might see Marmin in halves with B Hunt ?

You'd have to think it's a bit early to assume anything yet.

Hopefully one of our young guns carves it up in pre-season and gets the 5/8 gig fulltime.

Where is the sting? :smile:
Griffin's specialty, putting size on and this player needs it

The sting = the wing as far as I'm aware.

Decent signing by the sounds of things

 

[Sproj]

I was always quietly hopeful we'd get M Barba as well. He could be Great in the six or nine.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Certainly doesn't hurt to boost our depth in the halves.

Out of the off contract players, who is likely to re-sign? There's a big list and I haven't heard a thing about re-signing them. Id like Jordan Drew, Brandon Gibb, Dale Copley, Mitchell Dodds, Cameron Cullen and Francis Molo to stay at least. Would have loved to have kept Caleb Timu too.

I THINK it was Gibb, posted up an Instagram video, and was wearing Titans shorts saying pre-season starts next week

bgibb88, to be honest I don't even remember what he looks like, so not sure if it's him in the vid or he's recording it haha

That's Jarrod Wallace in the video. I wonder if he has signed with the Titans then?

just realized he has tagged a heap of Broncos in it so maybe not?

I guess everyone we can see in the pre season training gallery should be signed for next year. Surprised not to hear anything about Copley, he was primed to have a big 2013 before his injury. Any news on if he'll still be at the club next season?

griffin sounded excited to have copley back on board so i dont think he's going anywhere. wasnt it yow yeh that said his biggest issue was fighting out with copley for a spot in the team or soemthing?

I never really rated copley that highly, he was just an average winger. Was he a Griffin 20's player?

Yes, as most of our first grade squad is. Can we please not turn this into another anti griffin thing

 

[coreyh88]

Probably because he isn't a winger

 

[GCBRONCO]

Just like Sam isn't a prop but when he plays shit or worse in the backrow it's ok.

But on Copley tbh with the recruits we got now and Oates pushing for a spot in the 17 his going to have a hard time cementing a spot IMO, even at centre if that his truly his position.

 

[Harry Sack]

Copley I think is one of those guys that may have missed his chance for now. I hope that isn't the case, because I do rate him. He had a strong finish to 2012 from memory and I had high hopes for his 2013. With the recruiting we've done though and if Hoffy stays, it's a tough ask for him to crack the starting 17 IMO

 

[Sproj]

Yeah Copley had a great end to 2012 but sucked really badly before that. I rate him now too but I would love nothing more than for him to be kept out of the team by a Vidot that fulfills his potential, a JYY who returns to something near his best, Hodges returns firing and Oates pushes on, I couldn't be happier if he can't make the team.

Exactly my point. Some guys only get a small window of opportunity to crack it and I think he may have missed it due to injury.
