Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2021

[BroncsFan]

Damn, 700k. Wouldn’t even be mad at him for taking it

Reading the article it's what his manager (Isaac Moses ) is asking for from the Shitney clubs to poach him away.

So he hasn't been offered $700k by anyone as yet, it's just what Moses wants for his commission

 

[Galah]

I thought that guy got unregistered? Wtf

 

[Wolfie]

We would be crazy to pay Staggs that money. He has no consistent form in any other position either to warrant paying big money.

 

[Thelmus]

Did I read correctly the salary cap would shrink? We'd be feeling very good 2022 if that is the case

 

[Lockysillegitimatechild]

$700 000 is the figure being reported by Fox Sports to lure Kotoni away from Brisbane. Makes you wonder how much we've offered him. No way should we be competing with a $700 000 offer though.

I'd pull our offer immediately and gently point out to him that most players don't regain their form until a year after coming back from an acl so good luck getting that 700,000 offer........ there s 2 sides to footy, attack and defence. He may be close to that price in attack but he obviously does not realise he's a 200,000 defender at the moment, oh yeah, and he's coming back from an acl and he has not shown the consistency of a 700,000 player yet anyway....

Contracts shrink relative to the cap reduction

 

[Cult]

Can we just lie and tell these blokes 6% of 700k is 350k. Not very many of the players at our club would even realise they were being lied to.

 

[Kimlo]

I'd gladly pay him 600k to play 6 full-time, at centre no chance. I guess it depends what KW really thinks of Milford because what he says publicly means nothing. He's off contract, along with Staggs so we'll find out.

 

[theshed]

What’s Staggs worth? 500?

 

[Big Pete]

We mustn't be far off our top 30 now. I've got 4 spots left between these guys, but there are probably more I'm unaware of.

Riki (he's featured heavily on the Broncos website lately, wouldn't be surprised if he's already been upgraded to top 30)
Bullemor (had a development contract for 2021 according to nrl.com, but may have been upgraded, listed on Broncos website)
Kennar (listed on Broncos website)
Hetherington (listed on Broncos website)
Piakura
Kelly (not sure if he's returned after being sent to Souths Logan)
Luke (is he still training with us?)
Isaiah Tass (on a new development contract, doubt he'd be upgraded to top squad so soon)

EDIT: Forgot to add Callum Gahan, Brendan Frei and Ben Nakubuwai who Big Pete mentioned had been spotted training this pre-season

Props Logan Bayliss Brow and Leivaha Pulu are also training with the NRL squad.

I rate Dufty, wouldn't be disappointed if we signed him but that hinges on how well (or not well) Isaako/Niu play. If we can use the players we already have, we save money to spend elsewhere.

 

[winslow_wong]

He's good but not $700k good............not $700k just to play in the centres anyway.

He has one good highlight reel palm off... no way should anyone be paying him that much.

I would really like a fullback in the mould of AJ Brimson or Papenhuyzen. I think they would compliment our forward pack well. Dufty is a similar style, is affordable, and has good potential. 2020 he shocked me with his improvement in his passing game.

With the lack of quality fullbacks on the market i would give consideration to Dufty, pending how Isaako or Niu perform. He wouldn't be high on my list, but I would certainly keep an eye on him.

Player swap with Macca

I’d be all for it except he refuses to defend.

this should give some people a bit of a lol,

Foxsports have said that the player the Tigers want in exchange for Billy Walters is Reece Walsh ... we've told them there is no chance of that happening

Tigers were told two weeks ago that Walsh isn't on the table. Broncos have plans for Walsh and it doesn't involves playing NRL for the Tigers.

All Kevvie’s work has been around adding people that will add to the place on and off the field. He was very deliberate.

Still one spot left but Tigers want a player swap and Broncos can’t do that.

Interesting, I wonder if those plans explain why there was no interest in pursuing Allen or indeed any other fullback and why we are making do with what we have until he is ready.

He will play ISC this year, he will make an impact too, such a great little chaser of kicks and dummy half scoots.
