Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2021

[Huge]

Shhhh… Some people don’t welcome facts…

Clearly you haven't read the other posts such was your eagerness to have yet another chop at me. Had you done so you'd not look like such a vindictive knob.

 

[Cult]

Am I the only one who thinks a Reynolds & Milford halves combo would work very well?

Reynolds is the exact half that Milford needs, someone who can control the tempo of the game and take the lion's share of 5th tackle options close to the goal line, with Milford chiming in occasionally and picking his moments.

As long as Milford re-signs for about 1/3rd of his current contract value, I'd be keen to see how it goes.

Milford hasn’t earned 1/3 of a million dollars. He has checked out numerous times and is part of the toxic culture at this club. He’s had his chance and been over shadowed by Tyson Gamble, who deserves to keep a spot at this point.

1 Hynes
6 Gamble
7 Reynolds
9 Turpin

That a spine full of people who give a shit about playing well and not what their mum is cooking for dinner tonight

If Reynolds does come and Staggs is Madge 5/8 I think you need a guy who can ball play like Hynes at fullback .

Isaako and Staggs are both runners and Reynolds doesn’t rack up many try assists. The spine will need someone to ice a the last pass in set plays.

I have previously said pretty much the same thing but you have put it much more clearly and succinctly. It is all about balance within the spine and subsequently, the team.

This is so exciting if it happens (never celebrate too early of course) but it will definitely lead to other players being attracted as well. I'd love to see Gagai back in our colours if he is coming as has been suggested. Bring in Capewell/Su'A as well, brilliant. Hynes/Hammer would cap it all off beautifully. A Hodgson and/or Papalii sneaky one would cap it all off.

1. Hynes/Hammer
2. Hammer/Isaako/'Milford'
3. Farnworth
4. Gagai
5. Oates
6. Staggs
7. Reynolds
8. Haas
9. Turpin
10. Carrigan (Still have no idea why Lodge is being shopped around)
11. Capewell/Su'A
12. Riki
13. Pangai Jr

14. Hetherington/Gamble/Walters
15. Flegler
16. Kennedy
17. Piakura

18. Robati

That is a top 4/8 side!

Sorry to do this sproj, but no love for bullemore?

I third this, watched Hynes last two game last night. Key takeaways, he is always around the ball, and follows the forwards, he has a very slick long ball and a soft touch also, his pace actually surprised me as I was sure he was slow, he talks and wants to be on the ball. So many of the attacking plays came off due to his slick passing. He would be perfect for what we need as a fullback, somebody with low errors, can pass on both sides of his body and has a big engine. I am sold.

If DD can back up the Reynolds signing with Gagai & Su'A on reasonable deals I'd be a very happy camper.

(Still not sold on Hynes)

I’m sorry but I’m so sold on Hynes it’s not funny... there’s nobody better that we could realistically sign... he has played heaps of q-cup and has fit into that Storm team nicely with an already laid platform which we will have next year with Reynolds at halfback and our forward pack... he’ll do well

Wayne brought him back to Brisbane with him, I remember though before all of that Wayne had plans to oversee Kevvie as he coached us

Weird that JD was in the Cowboys coaches box during the 2015 GF then eh

 

[007]

A Badel/Kent article in the CM is saying that our offer was 200k less than the Sharks and that it is $2.25 million over 3 years

This is infact correct, well 2.3. Sharks were offering 150k+ on the first 2 years and was under on the 3rd.

Someone needs to capture smokin Joe and tie him to a chair, im sure he has more good news for us!

Lots of love for him, I always forget one though and there he is.

I'll maintain that Isaako is the better long-term option of the two.

Very interested to see what he's capable of with a real Halfback directing traffic.

 

[Alec]

I like the rumours about giving Farnworths a go if Hynes doesn't get signed. I'm not sold on Isaako at all. People who have watched him from his early days said he hasn't evolved his game since his QLD cup period, its probably unlikely he'll evolve it in the next few years either.

There isn't much a halfback can do to stop him dropping 5th tackle kicks or having horrendous defensive positioning.

He recently liked my post saying I hope this is just the beginning and asking for Gagai, Hynes, and Capewell to be next.

Make of that what you will.

I basically think Lodge is being shopped around because of the contract he is on. I guess even if we take a hit on his wages short term we arent stuck with the 2 player options he has considering he is on quite a large contract. I reckon we are probably going to have to have a bit of a war chest to keep a few players who come off contract at the time the new expansion club may come into play. I think it something we need to be very wary of, especially if whoever it is gets Bennett. If its Reddy for example, they actually have the financial muscle and infrastructure to compete with us.

His game is no different now then it was on the wing, he scored that try against the Roosters as a winger. I am sure Kev can find creative plays to get him in the game and utilize his running game.
