Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2021

[Morepudding]

Starting to sound more and more like Nikorima will end up at the Titans than us unfortunately. Think they're willing to offer more than us, and for whatever reason, we're pretty adamant that Staggs will be a Five-Eighth.

I actually think we will end up renewing Milford.

And for anyone that ever thinks about Ash Taylor coming back, have a read of this analysis from NRL Physio last month before you put it to words, he looks to be nearly done in the NRL unfortunately.

We really should be re-signing Albert right now... he is a perfect back up 6 that compliments Reynolds if Staggs shits the bed

while Niko would be a handy acquisition for us, i wouldn't be breaking the bank or getting into a bidding war for him.

if we can get him for a reasonable contract, then great. if not then re-sign Albert Kelly (will be cheaper anyway), who will offer a good insurance policy for Staggs, in case he fails at 6 and needs to move back to the centers

I don't really think Taylor compliments Reynolds anyway... we need a creator at 6 and Taylor hasn't really done that since his first and second years

Smart buy..... a non-organising, tiny half with no long kicking game will help them manage leads and fix their defence. We have problems, but we seem to be acknowledging them and moving forward, the titans seem to think that if they copy us and sign ex Broncos it will end differently to them. Wtf is wrong with them haha

It is the modern St George model too to be fair.

While we definitely could use a crafty 9, dangerous 1 and a hard head experienced middle forward we need to be carefull of breaking the bank just for the sake of making a signing.

Reason being almost every off season without fail any number of quality players for what ever reason become available (Adin Fonu-Blake last year for example). Also plenty of time for another club to debut a gun and that we might like to poach. Point I'm making is it won't hurt us having cash in the kitty.

Just on Nikorima, looking at his stats this year are quiet impressive. 8 forcrd drop outs, 10 try assists and 9 line break assists. We would kill for someone who could do that for us currently.

Its been suggested previously and i think people were against it because of his size but is Nikorima a possibility ar fullback? Chiming in on those sweep plays both sides of the field and supporting the forwards with his speed?

The Titans paying more than other clubs are willing to, who’d have thought.

 

[Super Freak]

Surely Staggs will the 6 this year at some point - early on I would imagine?

I can't see any reason why he wouldn't be given he's being given first crack at 6 next year. Get him in early so he's got some games under his belt for 2022.

 

[Pierrot]

Also that was our focus not the clubs. I think it’s a waste of time spending our resources on temporary spine pieces when we can go hard at permanent players who are origin quality that actually want to come to our club

Totally agree, we gonna add some talents for the next year and aim a spot in the top 8.
There's actually no good spine players on the market. We have to keep the money for a 1 and a 9 when good opportunities will be there.
With Capewell, Lee, Reynolds, Pereira and maybe Su'a, Nikorima or Gagai we can clearly jump into the 8.

That club is broken, you could list all their big signings from the past 10 years and I can't think of any of them that actually kicked on and made a difference at that club, not since their inception have they looked like a dangerous team in a finals campaign.

Nikorima would be a good signing, he's a good runner of the footy and has some creativity in his game too.

Milford, I think there's a club out there that would be prepared to take the chance on him for a 1 year deal at 350-400k. That club won't be us though with the players we are going to be paying to be playing for other teams.

 

[Old Mate]

I hate the idea of Staggs at 6, if Reynolds goes down at any point we are straight away fucked. Throw the sink at Niko, he’s a gun. His runnings always rivaled Milfords, should have kept him the first time.

Throw the sink at Milford too, literally.

Wow 29. That career came and went in a blink.

Made his ISC debut in 2012.

 

[Dazza 92]

Remember....all mentions of M*z*r are to use his codename...

Which is "Macca"....

Your friendly neighbour reminder....

Also if he shows he's not up to it he can go back to the centres and we can sort another halves option for A Rey. Kodi perhaps.

They've been using his real name in the Courier Mail since at least last year, predicting he'll be our future number 9.
