Broncos Player Movements and Rumours 2014

[Super Freak]

If Griffin gets the Tigers gig would any players follow him?

McGuire would by the sounds of it.

 

[Danoz Direct]

McGuire would by the sounds of it.

McGuire won't follow he said he wants to play under Bennett.

 

[Super Freak]

McGuire won't follow he said he wants to play under Bennett.

All I've seen him say is that he has no issue playing under Bennett next year

I've seen him say he wants to be wherever Hook is, though.

I guess we will find out soon.

 

[coreyh88]

Would much prefer willie for one year while we bring though younger forwards to signing packer

 

[1910]

Cameron Cullen to the Cowboys.

 

[Painin the Haas]

I know he wasn't anything special but I find that a shame, he has been strong in Q cup and just as good at hooker or in the halves and with Granville gone thought he could be useful. Why would he go to Cowboys they have plenty of both

Maybe Bennett told him he wasn't wanted here ?

 

[Painin the Haas]

True, just saying it's a sideways move for himself that's all

 

[jarro65]

True, just saying it's a sideways move for himself that's all

Yeah agreed ..... always a shame to lose a talented youngster.

It's hard to see where he'll fit into the Cowboys lineup isn't it ?

 

[Bucking Beads]

Cameron Cullen to the Cowboys.

How many hooker/halves do they need up there?

 

[Painin the Haas]

Exactly they have Thurston, Lui, Thompson in the halves and then Kostjasyn, Mitchell, king and Granville at hooker it's worse competition than at the broncos

Should have tried the sharks

 

[Alec]

How many hooker/halves do they need up there?

The sameas the number of fullbacks we want.

 

[Unbreakable]

That's a shame, can't keep them all though.

Ashley Taylor
Kodi Nikorima
Jayden Nikorima
Duncan Paia'aua

Probably all ahead of him in the pecking order for a first grade call-up (Even though Duncan is supposedly headed to Union)

North Queensland light the fuse for Queensland finals derby, targeting Brisbane prop Josh McGuire

THE Cowboys have set the scene for an explosive Queensland sudden-death derby on Saturday night by setting their recruiting sights on the Broncos’ top prop Josh McGuire.

The Courier-Mail can reveal the Cowboys are chasing McGuire as coach Paul Green looks to assemble the most powerful front-row rotation in the NRL.

Two Sydney clubs have already expressed interest in McGuire, but the Broncos will be most concerned by the fresh poaching threat coming from their Queensland rivals.

Cowboys officials were tight-lipped going into the finals blockbuster in Townsville, but McGuire’s manager Simon Mammino has held informal dialogue with North Queensland.

Mammino ramped up talks with the Broncos on Thursday, who hope their $1 million extension will convince McGuire to remain at Red Hill.

The Cowboys have yet to make a formal offer as the club assesses its salary cap position, with the retention of hulking backrower Jason Taumalolo a priority task.

The impending departure of Tariq and Ashton Sims has the Cowboys on the hunt for a marquee forward and hard-running McGuire fits the bill.

Green is known to be a fan of McGuire and would relish the prospect of the Maroons Origin prop joining Test front-rowers Matt Scott and James Tamou in Townsville.

McGuire, who is off contract next season, plans to test his value on the open market and his price tag will soar if he inspires a Broncos boilover on Saturday night.

“It’s really nice to be wanted,” said McGuire, who recently celebrated the birth of his first child.

“This is a big decision. I grew up in Brisbane and I’ve now got a fiancee and a young family.

“As a kid, I dreamt of playing with the Broncos so naturally it would be hard to leave this club.

“I will let the contract stuff take care of itself. There’s a few clubs interested but I’m happy here and focused on the finals so hopefully it will sort itself out down the track.’’

One trump card for the Broncos, aside from McGuire’s family ties, is money. Brisbane’s offer stands to make McGuire the highest-paid prop in the club’s history and the Cowboys would not be in a position to break the bank in any bidding war.

North Queensland want to have Scott, Tamou and McGuire on their books in 2016, but they will not go hard for the Broncos prop if they are at risk of losing Taumalolo.

For now, McGuire is determined to end the Cowboys’ season after Scott and Tamou monstered the Brisbane pack in their 27-14 win in Round 9.

“In my opinion the Cowboys have the best ruck rotation with their combination of speed and size,” McGuire said.

“We’ve had some great Queensland derbys in the last few years and this will be no different.

“Scott and Tamou are the Test front-rowers so this is a good test for me. What happened during the season is behind us but they did start well last time and we have to be ready for them.”

Sounds like he wants to stay so hopefully our offer is substantial enough.

wait a hot shit minute, that's twice I've seen this "$1million extension" thing written re McGuire and neither time its mentioned the term of the deal ... Is it a million over two years ?

I'm a bit dubious as to whether he's worth 500 grand a year just yet ...
