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