Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2021

[whykickamoocow]

Slippery Pete has already raised the contract value from 2.25 million yesterday to 2.5 million today. At that pace he’ll be on 25 million a season by time he puts on a Broncos training shirt.

Hope we go after Matt Dufty. He's at a ripe old age of 25, off-contract at the end of the year, speedy, carves em up, try machine, great support play, good kicking game....everything we need in a FB.

Hook reckons his defence is poor.

 

[Foordy]

Dobbo said MMM Rush Hour, that the cards may start to fall for us now. there are a few players (that he wouldn't name) that were waiting to see if we could land Reynolds before committing to us

WB, Gagai and Capewell for sure have to be on the christmas list.

I think we would be crazy to chase B Smith now, the remaining money needs to go into steady heads and shuffling to either get Herbie at FB and Gagai into the centres.

1. Herbie
2. Oates
3. Staggs
4. Gagai
5. Iassako
6. Gamble
7. Reynolds
8. Haas
9. Turps
10. Lodge/(insert swap here)(do not agree with moving him on)
11. TPJ
12. Carrigan
13. Bullemore/Capewell

14. Fleg
15. Kennedy/Asiata
16. Rikki
17. Piakura

Good established fullbacks are hard to come by and don't come cheap. His best days are ahead of him at age 25, AR's best days are long gone at an ageing 31 year old this year. He played himself back into form and he's the best player at the Dragons at the moment. Dragons, Warriors, Titans are all after him, so 700k is a fair price. If you can get him cheaper, even better.

Yeah the Hammer would be a superb cheapie with heaps of upside potential. He should be attainable if you promise him the FB position with a bit of extra money. Wish they swapped Dearden for the Hammer this year.

Something may have changed in the last 3 or so weeks but the below article does not scream of someone demanding 700k per year.

Warriors and Titans are now good for fullback, i don't believe either of those teams are in the market at 700k for Dufty.

In-form Dragons Matt Dufty concedes contract talks still 'slow' | Sporting News Australia

Discussions over a new contract extension for Matt Dufty have been quiet, the in-form Dragons fullback admits despite his blistering start to the 2021 season.

14. Fleg
15. Kennedy/Asiata
16. Rikki
17. Piakura

would have

1. Isaako
2. Oates
3. Gags
4. Farnworth
5. insert winger here. Mead I guess if he's still around and wants a lower end contract. Ideally D Tupou would be a great get.
6. Staggs (he's earmarked for there so let's just see how he goes first, can reshuffle Herbie/Gags to the wing if necessary)
7. Reynolds
8. Haas
9. Turps
10. Lodge
11. TPJ
12. Capewell
13. Carrigan

14. Gamble
15. Flegs
16. Kennedy
17. Bullemor

18. Riki/Piakura.

 

[Unbreakable]

It's Brenko time

 

[mitch222]

guess that means we are getting sua

 

[Renegade]

ehh. adequate but not someone to get off your feet about.

 

[The True King]

Has he even made it on the park this season?

 

[nopatience101]

Hope he’s just a depth signing.

I hope it doesn’t mean Niu is out of the picture.

Why does signing a centre displace Nui
He isn’t a centre and was only a makeshift one this year to cover staggs

I disagree, I think he is a centre, he’s too stocky to play anywhere else.

 

[Unbreakable]

Perhaps the plan is to make Niu the #1 next season. That would explain why he's playing Fullback in ISC.

1. Tesi Niu
2. Corey Oates
3. Herbie Farnworth
4. Brenko Lee
5. Jamayne Isaako
6. Kotoni Staggs
7. Adam Reynolds

At this stage I'd be shocked if the Broncos held onto Tesi.

 

[Fitzy]

No but I didn’t see us signing Gagai so I will take this... might mean we can get edrick to the broncos if we don’t sign Hynes

Bro the rest of that backline is fire except for Tesi

 

[Skathen]

By choice? He's certainly not lit the world on fire yet and the titans gaffe last year didn't help.
