Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2021

[broncsgoat]

Adam Reynolds has said he's interested in coming here.
It's very appealing, he said.

The old, my negotiations aren’t going as planned I’ll mention the broncos trick

 

[broncsgoat]

Sounds like coach went all in on trying to buy a premiership in the short-term again. Is this in your opinion a club that’s going to be in a bit of a mess when he leaves at the end of this season?

All he did was replace Burgess and GI’s contracts with like for like value players

 

[Mister Wright]

You must be the only person to refer to Bennett as a "no clue coach"

He clearly isn’t a “no clue coach” however his track record on developing halves isn’t that great. Langer & Walters were already the finished item when he started coaching them. He had Walker, Seymour, etc come through the ranks and couldn’t really get them to where they could have gone. The only real playmaker(s) he has developed is Lockyer and Boyd.

Bennett is great with forwards & outside backs, but in almost 40 years of coaching the development of spine players is his one weakness. He can add the polish to a spine player, but to develop them from rookie to great is not what he is capable of. Yet, a coach like Bellamy can take a rookie spine player and turn them into immortals.

Tbf, Seymour stuffed things up for himself. He only had himself to blame really.

Yeah I have no clue what their cap situation is. Was a surprise to me reading 007s post.

Perhaps. But he was a gun rookie and never really went on with it. Maybe more than him than Bennett, but it is a blaring blemish on Bennett’s record his lack of developing spine players.

Seymour had a lot of off field problems sadly.

True, but if my memory serves me correctly they were (mostly) after he left the Broncos.

Hardly. take a look at their contracts and lengths. Murray was signed until 2025 for example.

He’s one of the best young players in the game

Lol imagine saying “only developed Lockyer and Boyd” as a critique of someone’s ability to develop spine players.

Let’s not think about what he did with Berrigan, or what he achieved with Jamie Soward and Hornby

And to flog a dead horse we would have a very different version of Milford today had Wayne stayed

Can't remember exactly what happened at Brisbane, but I know they got rid of him because he couldn't keep his nose clean.

 

[Nightwatchman]

If there were any interest for milford it would have come up by now i think it is england or bust.

Nope. Anthony Milford will find a team in the NRL. Apparently Broncos a deliberately going quiet on the talk of Adam Reynolds because they don't want to upset Milford and Tom Dearden. You are more likely to drop your bundle and not play your best if you find out that you won't be returning. I would say Milford's manager isn't hunting because Milford wants to stay and it's been reported that this is the case.

Milford though could be a good fit in England. Blake Austin who has a similar style to Milford as a running half has been going great guns over there. Whether Milford would go is another question.

Yep and on the piss flat out.

Reynolds should be the target and this is exactly where a player option could work. Give him 2 years with a PO and if he is killing it great, but if he is always injured and you can't medically retire him, just have a quiet word from the CEO saying don't take up the PO but we will still pay you ...... just in little brown paper bags, or lost golf bets

How bout 2 with a club option but I doubt that will even happen, he'll stay imo

 

[Nightwatchman]

Milford with an organising half like Adam Reynolds would be world class. The broncos have failed him. Yes he is a million dollar player but he never should of been. We failed him just as much as he failed us.

Broncos failed him? Milford and his manager gaged interest from Melbourne to jack up his price figure. They took advantage of the fact the Broncos had already lost Ben Hunt to the Dragons. And knew the Broncos would be desperate to retain him.

I doubt Milford will be returning any of the money he was paid from the Broncos for below sub par play for years. Broncos have given him countless chances without being dropped and have been far harsher on other players (Corey Oates). Broncos have failed Milford yeah that's a good one.
