Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2021

[Organix]

These guys seem to have their finger on their pulse.

Paul Kent said:

“The Broncos DNA, the glory days, it’s dead. They’ve got no resilience in defence. The worst thing the Broncos can now do is to still consider themselves a powerhouse of the competition. They have a commercial advantage of being in such a big city by themselves, but other than that, that DNA, that winning culture, that is so important at clubs, it does not exist anymore."

“There was a hope you bring back Kevvie Walters with all the old boys it would reignite, it hasn’t happened. They are so far removed from that. The ability of the Broncos to surrender, it just gets bigger. Donaghy will hopefully bring an understanding of what Melbourne did and hope to apply that to Brisbane. But Brisbane is a three-four-five year rebuild.”


Phil Rothfield:

“I think their board thought by signing Dave Donaghy, they’re signing the Melbourne Storm way of recruitment and retention. This does not work because the recruitment and retention of Melbourne was not about Dave Donaghy, it was about Frank Ponissi, it was about Craig Bellamy. They are the people who hired and fired. A CEO isn’t going to change their ability to attract players.”

This is just setting the narrative for Brisbane 2.0. It's all designed to make their introduction appear like it was necessary. That the Broncos became complacent and they needed direct competition (which is dumb, because they literally already compete with 15 other teams already). Anyway, the ultimate story will be how amazing both teams are and how the Broncos need Brisbane 2.0 (when the NRL really just wants them to make money).

These fuckers give me the shits in general and what they're saying specifically, but they're probably more right than wrong. Which shits me even more.

I love the media

"Cowboys unleash star signing"

To be fair TC Robati got an "unleash" article as well along with most of our debutantes the last few years

Big win over St.Mary's by PBC Mariner didn't get a lot of ball- scored a good try out of dummy half just scooted out and scored- went around both markers.

He had a good run down the left hand side too, poor little half came across and got thrown away by Mariner.

Second half gets a kick in his own quarter and runs down the sideline and comes in and goes across to the other side to put his opposite side winger into a hole and score. That was impressive to not just run straight but see an opportunity over on the other sideline.

Karl Oloapu- Dolphins and Wavell was strong against Coombabah- he was just too quick thinking and fast.

Mozer- brilliant run for Keebra's first try- then just give it to a tank to steam over. Third try- he goes through again and draws the fullback in traffic and gives a pass for a forward to score under the posts. I can't take my eyes off him, he's majestic for a school boy- so smart and quick.

Mozer is going to be a star.
We will finally have a hooker for the next 10 years if he continues his development as planned.

Well someone will have a star. We will continue to develop for another team to sign him on big money before he plays a game for us.

Hopefully our R & R team think so too.

So clever, he is plays ahead and these poor school boys are looking around going what happened there?

It's like watching the smart kid give an answer and the other students not even know what he's talking about.

Can't to see how he goes at the Roosters.

We might argue he’s a winger and try and sign him after asking for him to pay for his own Uber and not tell his parents.

code name for this bloke .... before Badel hypes the shit out of him

Someone mentioned the club is interested in Jordan Pereira from the dragons a few pages back. I think that would be a decent depth option if he’s cheap. He’s not the most reliable set of hands but he starts sets off well and has a decent work rate.

Oh no, we are going to have to rely on our development

we're apparently pretty good at that ... we're developing players for half the comp

Paul Crawley was hyping him last year along with (see if you recognize any of these names): Brendan Piakura, Reece Walsh, Selwyn Cobbo and Xavier Willison. Here's what he said about Mozer:

"You know how the Broncos always rue the day they let Cameron Smith walk out the door? Well, this 16-year-old hooker has those in the know already dreaming big dreams. Plays a similar style in that he’s just a natural dummy half. It will be a few years before you see him in the NRL, but remember the name."

Andrew Dawson has been tooting his horn for some time.

He has a nice rebounder ball, dressed knees down like his granny:

Do you think Mariner will be competing for a centre spot in 2022 once he come into our full-time squad?

 

[Footy Fanatic]

Sounds like we may be able to start Paix as soon as next year over Turpin and then be able to properly develop Mozer without having to rush him into first grade.
