Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2021

[Fitzy]

It will be interesting to watch. If he comes to Brisbane straight after his contract ends in violation of his “non compete “ clause, what sort of damages could Melbourne claim? Or is there a specific figure attached to it - violate the clause and you owe us 100K type thing?

If that’s the case he’d probably say to Brisbane I’ll come if you cough up that 100k

 

[Dazza 92]

can we re-sign Dearden please......thanks

 

[Kimlo]

Any news on the most important signing, Donaghy?

IIRC his contract expires end of Jan, so we should hear something Feb 1st, or at the latest, early Feb.

 

[Foordy]

Apparently Maiko Sivo's manager is seeking expressions of interest in him... thoughts on us making a play?

 

[Foordy]

So the SMH did an article about the top 20 off contract "stars" for 2022. list includes their current contract values and what they could potentially earn on their new deal. thought i'd share what they are saying about our players values (3 of them made the list) ... so the values of some potential targets:

the number indicates their position on the list

Coates on $500k is silly money...............extreme overs...............compare Coates to say Josh Addo-Car for $500k

Particularly given he is apparently worth more than Gagai? Turn it up!

But man, I totally agree on that value for Milford, what a fall from grace.

How about this for 22:

1. Niu/Walsh/Isaako (hope we go all in on Brimson for 23)
2. Farnworth
3. Gagai
4. Coates
5. Sivo
6. Milford (on that $400k or literally anyone else as we should have some decent money)
7. Dearden
8. Haas
9. B.Smith
10. Carrigan
11. Capewell
12. Riki
13. Asiata

14. Paix/Walsh
15. Flegler
16. TPJ/Bullemor
17. Piakura

Gone: Macca, Joffa, Bird's money, Lodge, Staggs, Oates, Turpin, Glenn, Mead

Don’t think he’s worth the money he’d be after. Obviously he can do amazing things in attack but he does have a few errors in him and isn’t great defensively

 

[pennywisealfie]

At some stage, Milford will play 4 or 5 really good games in a row. Newspaper articles will say the Bulldogs are throwing a million at him, we will sign him for 1.2m a year for 4 years with 2 player option years.

 

[Waynesaurus]

I would rather pay Sivo $400k than Coates $500k.

Ahhh Milford, such a frustrating player, so badly want him to find his mojo.................. so much promise but for whatever reason just doesn't seem to be able to make it happen.

Broncos have to let him go surely......... unless he is paying the club.

*EDIT* Gagai on $450k would be pretty decent value IMO.

[Lockysillegitimatechild]

We should start doing a tally. Every time a Broncos player is rumoured to be chased/going to another club VS Every other NRL club combined.... it's ridiculous.

 

[winslow_wong]

Sigh Broncos board... bye Dearden.

 

[Painin the Haas]

Dobbo on nine news reckons Glenn is favourite for captain, Macca won’t get it due to the fact there is every chance he could be at the Dragons come round 1

 

[Foordy]

Sigh Broncos board... bye Dearden.

your going to drive yourself crazy if you not only worry but believe it every time a journo links one of our off contract players to a rival, 9 times out of 10 based on nothing but the player happens to be off contract

 

[winslow_wong]

I know. Just have no faith in our recruit and retention team.

Agreed though you’d have to admit it is concerning in this case as it is coming from Garry.

Any news on the most important signing, Donaghy?

Does he play in a spine position
