Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2021

Ditto, however, where was he when this stuff was happening to Seibold.
If it wasnt Kevvie involved Gordy would be singing a different tune.

Agreed. He couldn't give a **** about the club. He cares about Kevy.

 

[Unbreakable]

WTF, I like Tallis now?

If there's someone we legitimately need at training a few times a week, it's him, not Parker.

One clear thing lacking from our coaching staff & playing group alike, passion for the Broncos jersey. Tallis might at least weed out some of the pea hearts for us.

No way is Oates one of these players. He might be unhappy at being dropped and not getting enough constructive feedback but he doesnt do anything behind people's backs, he just isnt built that way. He's fronted everyone to their faces when he's done anything, and like Gordy says about Lodge, he took ownership of what he said.

I'll stick my neck out and put who i think the main ones are, Pangai, Milf and Isaako.

The first week Parker was asked to help at training this year we beat the roosters and the forwards actually played really well. May have been a massive fluke but maybe Parker provided something as well.

A thousand sin bins also helped

The media dream team of Peter Badel, Phil Rothfield and Fatima Kdouh are reporting the Broncos have "formally expressed interest" in Dane Gagai, but this does not include "tabling a formal offer."

Gagai:

“The Broncos are certainly an option. I started my career there."

“Look, I would love to stay at Souths, it’s a great club, but the reality is I have a family to look after and I have to make a decision that is best for me. I haven’t ruled anyone out at this stage."

“We are going through the contract process now. There’s a lot of salary-cap issues, not just with Souths but quite a few clubs. They need to work through those things and I’m leaving the contract talks to my manager."

“I am focused on winning an Origin series and winning a grand final at Souths. I’ve got three wooden spoons, I’ve been to three prelims (preliminary finals), so it’s about time I won a premiership. I’ve seen the younger boys here in Camp Maroon like Tino (Fa’asuamaleaui) with a premiership ring and that’s what I want at Souths.”

“Having tonsillitis wasn’t an ideal preparation for me. I wasn’t feeling well, but that’s no excuse. At the end of the day, I chose to play and when you are named in the team, you put the jersey on and do your job. I didn’t do my job in Origin I and it’s been burning since that game. I have to put that performance behind me now, I’m 100 per cent fit this time so I want to be better in Game Two.”

I do wonder how Gagai would go at Fullback at this stage of his career.

Earlier on in his career he had the problem of being a massive hog with the ball, but his passing has improved drastically over the last few years. His work rate is great, his running game is great, his hands are great. Wouldn't be against signing him and having him and Farnworth battle it out for the #1 jersey.

He’s still a massive hog. All of Johnston’s tries are from cut outs that bypass Gagai. He never passes.

Gagai the wooden spoon merchant. Welcome home.

Other than Pangai, do we have anyone who draws a man and passes?

If you follow that through to the Daily Telegraph source here's what it says:

"The Cowboys have not given up hope on securing Capewell but privately the club has turned its focus to securing the best off-contract talent in their own ranks."

FWIW, the Broncos are also "closely linked" to Capewell. But few of us here are penciling him in.

 

[Sproj]

I have a sneaking suspicion Capewell -> Roosters.

 

[Foordy]

I have a sneaking suspicion Capewell -> Roosters.

for a can of coke and a mars bar ... until he leaves then they'll have a million to spend

 

[The True King]

I have a sneaking suspicion Capewell -> Roosters.

I just don't see how he gets in the starting side. Sitili and Crichton have the edges locked down with Radley, Taukeiaho and Collins in the middle. Then there's guys like Butcher and Liu who can't get a starting spot but offer bench versatility.

After riding the pine at the Sharks and Panthers I think his next move will be for a start. If he was happy to be a bench player and win prems he would just stay at Penrith for less cash.

Badel has officially linked us to Gagai. says we have a $3 million war chest while Souths have salary cap issues. (he probably said that to preempt his article that will claim Gagai is signed to some ridiculously high and BS salary)

Badel says that we've expressed an interest in Gagai but it is "understood" we haven't tabled a formal offer yet

Dane Gagai Says:

“The Broncos are certainly an option,” he said.

“I started my career there.

“Look, I would love to stay at Souths, it’s a great club, but the reality is I have a family to look after and I have to make a decision that is best for me.

This kind of shit from Badel frustrates me so much. Gagai/Broncos spoke a while ago. His management are holding tight on talk yet Badel goes and throws shit at the wall to wind things up.

It might be completely possible they are deep in discussions, but his management and himself are being tight lipped.

 

[theshed]

Capewell + Gagai would be a massive result.
