Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2021

I reckon McInnes comes here for the season. Obviously his relationship with Hook isn’t great and he’s already off next year. Unless the Sharks want him early and can step in for a 3 way trade or something, it would be good for everyone involved.

Was thinking a Parcell return could work too but he’s just renovated a house in England so I think that’s off the cards. Levi seems like a backwards option though. Does not excite me at all

Fox Sports reporting that Macca signing with the Dragons could trigger an early move to the Sharks, given Macca will probably start at hooker and Bird is in line for lock

Any talk on what we get out of it?

We will end up giving Issac Luke another contract. Not sure why I continue to get excited for this club and the options they could have. Minimal effort!

no on both counts.

on the plus side, there has also been no talk of us paying any part of Maccas contract

There wasn’t last time someone asked for a release too but apparently we are still paying for Bird. It makes no sense

I used to get frustrated and read all these articles. Haven't done so for the last year. I honestly believe I would have a higher chance of getting a dartboard with photos of every player on it and throwing a dart at it with my eyes closed and Id get the player leaving ratio higher then these guys. Occasionally they're right, might even be some truth to it, but id also hit the dartboard occasionally.

Also, I really don't care if ANY of the plàyers leave anymore. Good players or not, they were ALL part of the most abysmal team in our history and won us our first wooden spoon. They ALL played a part, if they want to get into a bidding war with us I got my believe they can do so walking out the club door with a wooden spoon up their ass.

Also, we need to stop investing in youth. There aren't premierships in it. **** these ungrateful spoon winning losers. For all the hate and blame at seibold and white (deservedly so) the plàyers were the ones who put in the pissweak performances week after week. There attitudes were shocking and the way half of them have obviously got their managers to put the feelers out in the media shows their arrogance hasn't changed... we could lose Haas, staggs and fucking Coates TOMORROW and we still couldn't be worse then last year WHEN WE HAD THEM IN THE TEAM...

While it's likely that the stories are just made up bullshit, they still piss me off because they are almost certainly "leaked" by player managers wanting to inflate their player's market worth.

If it is publicly accepted that there is greater interest in a player, especially from teams who are notorious for paying overs for hype (Titans), our dumbshit recruitment & retention team get suckered in to giving them more money. Or as we've seen, getting the deal across the line by adding the security of multiple additional years of player options.

I just need confirmation that we aren't covering any of his contract.

 

[Skyblues87]

Does this mean we now have 2 spots to fill in our 30? Luke plus 1?

Someone worked it out earlier. We’ve already paid a pretty big chunk of it. Hopefully the rest is taken off.

 

[Dash]

Other than the ~$200k we've already forked out for the useless flog.

on both Bird in particular (but i think Ofa as well) there was plenty of talk in the media about us carrying part of their contracts for 2021

There wasn’t at the beginning, especially Bird who asked for his release. Exactly the same wording as McCullough is getting in his stories.

absolutely there was ... in fact there was a story where we were accused of arrogance because we wouldn't cover the majority of Bird's contract

 

[BroncsFan]

I can't wait til there's a second Brisbane team and we get to share the headlines and the poaching raids.

Except it will just be titans 2.0

So $20m of salary cap poaching our players, zero headlines against them, zero added to the game, but more Broncos playing elsewhere... just the way NSWRL like it
