Broncos Player Movements and Rumours 2014

[Kimlo]

Some of you must have short memories because the will they/wont they release saga with Barba went on months, not exactly what i would call 'seamless'.

And by now so has the Hoffman thing.

 

[Splinter]

I say let him go if they have asked. The bulldogs did give us a burdon but they would have endured with Barba they did us a favour. They need a fullback so lets give them hoffman instead. I don't want his attitude causing conflict as the season goes on, get it out of the way instead of the June deadline where it interupts our season because obviously this isn't going away.


Better yet give them hoffman, after round 1

Too many injuries at present and Barba is no guarantee for round 1. If everything goes okay and Hodges comes back release him in June

 

[Socnorb]

If he's going to be released, do it at the end of the year, it's comparable with the Barba release. I can't see them letting him go now for 2014. Of course we would still require compensation for 2015. in the meantime work on keeping his head straight.

That's actually a good idea. It's a compromise - everyone's giving a bit and all parties come up with some win out of the situation.

Yeah I like this idea alot and never thought of it this way. Put it too him that although we have no obligation to do this, we are going to release you for the 2015 season to go wherever you choose, meaning there will be no restrictions on your earning and his perspective club won't have to pay any transfer fees etc. etc. In return he has to call off his manager and do his best for the team and try to finish his time with us on a high.

 

[Cult]

I in absolutely no way want to do anything to benefit the Bulldogs team and especially not their fans. The bullshit they spread on social media about Barba is disgusting. We wouldnt have got Barba if they didn't feel as though they were passing on a problem. Dogs of War? There is no war. They're the only ones that are fighting.

Interesting he feels his development is being stifled. Backs up that brilliant post the other day (sorry I forgot who it was..heh) pointing out a number of players who have either not developed or gone backwards under Hook, as well as comments from some who have left in recent times.

This IMO is the bigger problem. The Broncos do not lose players they have nurtured from a young age, because of a lack of development. FFS, how far has this club fallen over the last 7 or 8 years? Players used to bend over backwards to play and now they're preferring to go elsewhere? True or not, the alarm bells are getting louder...Corvo can only do so much...guess we will see how it pans out.

 

[GCBRONCO]

It will take time but I believe we can get back there main thing is to focus on getting the winning culture back, Corvo is a step back in the right direction from the fitness perspective but unless Griffin produces something substantial this season we need a massive cleanout in the coaching ranks including Kearney who is the last person I would want taking over Griffin that's for sure be it mid season, short or long term. I dunno who is available from a coaching perspective now?

Yeah, his development has probably been stifled by the coaching staff. The ball playing ability that he has never had seems to have completely disappeared

Or was never properly developed due to major coaching incompetence.

Yet kodi nikorima can step up and show more playmaking ability in his nine's effort then Hoffman has shown in his first grade career at all levels.

 

[broncos4life]

Yep, probably that. It seems far more likely that our entire coaching structure right down to under 16's have never tried to work on his ball playing. Every single coach/mentor in the entire broncos system never thought a fullback should have that ability. We truly are a basket case and poor poor joshy is blameless. Poor joshy woshy.

 

[Socnorb]

This idea that player deficiencies can be overcome by more coaching makes me feel like I'm in an episode of South Park .

and he has been coached by griffin for how long?

Kodi has probably been getting external help, cos our whole organisation are grossly incompetent

You realize he made his debut under Bennett.
