Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2021

[nopatience101]

We gave permission for this to happen so we can sign Hodgson and Hynes..

I understand releasing Isaako in order to sign Hynes.. But if you need to release Pangai to sign Hodgson then you just look for another hooker..

We had $500k to offer Coates, we don’t need to lose someone to sign Hynes & Isaako would shift to the wing to replace Coates.. The Hodgson rumour is bogus, & even if it were true Turpin would be the one on the shop front window, not TPJ.

 

[Mustafur]

I will rage if we let TPJ go for Hodgson.

There is no player in the competition that is worth getting rid of TPJ for because we will just weaken one area to strengthen another, he is our biggest game breaker and completely instrumental in our attack both for 2nd phase play and as edge Ball player.

 

[Wolfie]

We don't need to release anyone to sign Hynes and Hodgson. TPJ is a bit of a puzzler, but maybe he wants out or the Tigers are offering a big financial package and he wants to secure his financial future.

Isaako looks like he isn't a serious contender long term for fullback Under Kevvie if we get Hynes.

I still reckon theres money for a winger... you’d find Oates wouldn’t have been dropped if there wasn’t cause Mead is just as average probably just a better stop gap than Oates is

 

[1910]

why the **** isnt Piakura playing? Hetherington is...?

Why the **** did we pay him the money that Walsh wanted....only to NOT play him...??

Walsh could be in our starting 13 right now at fullback.....thats where Piakuras money camePi from...

What is this club playing at......put the guy you spent big on....and fucking develop him...?

None of that is right. Piakura has played once in three weeks and isn't in as good a form as Hetherington- Hetherington is also older and more physically ready.

Piakura didn't take Walsh's money, Piakura isn't near Walsh's monetary level until the last year of his contract.

I think Oates will be reunited with the rest of the broncos 20’s playing under hook next year, if not sooner.

I would be surprised if TPJ wants out. He fought pretty hard to stay last season? Maybe it’s the other way round? Maybe he burned bridges with the 3rd party payments that went public?

 

[WASSHHH]

I heard along the grapevine that Lockyer is very “disruptive / difficult” in board meetings.

Care to debunk this @1910, @Smokin' Joe?

I am more than happy to be wrong

Yeah... just doesn’t seem like broncos is the right place for him anymore... he’s gone as far as he can

also I really think we need a tall lanky winger that does what he used to do... Metres, Metres, Metres, runs well, finishes and more metres

 

[Wolfie]

Possibly. I can only think it would be a purely financial decision if he left here for the Tigers.

I just think his name was chucked in for clicks or even it might have been an additional desperate play by the tigers... don’t see tevita being that eager to go to tigers of all places especially considering there’s Buckley’s chance the broncos release him

He was quoted only recently saying he owed the club & board a lot for keeping him on & giving him another chance, said he didn’t want to go anywhere else - for what it’s worth...

Historically that’s a bad sign.

If he’s anything like Coates he’s already signed and on his way

 

[Wolfie]

Historically that’s a bad sign.

And Money talks.

 

[nopatience101]

Historically that’s a bad sign.

Hence the “for what it’s worth”.

He does appear to have matured a lot though.

 

[nopatience101]

And Money talks.

He’s probably on more than he would get on the market now anyway.

I wonder if any of the fiji rugby 7 players are interested in trialling league and potentially joining the nrl. Some of them are brutal and could play that sivo, semi or olam (yes i know he is from PNG) role.
