Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2021

[NSW stables]

I don't think the Saints would need to chip in anything to get rid of him.
After this latest indiscretion they'd be able to sack him.

I predict that the roosters will pick him up on a base level contract.

To be honest, I can see him going to Sharks as a replacement for Woods/Fifita/Tolman

 

[DanG]

Who's going to support Reynolds though? If we don't sign a decent 1, 6 or 9 to help out then we'll be wasting time.

to me he is just another bloke who has broken a contract once and i cant forgive him, i understand its for family reason's he did it but did RTS kick up a stink when he hadn't seen his family in nearly a year and a bit. it just shows the character of the bloke and we don't need him, same goes with Vaughn dont need him, shit attitude

By that logic you should stop supporting the Broncos for all the contracts they have been breaking with players..

what do you mean? widdop wanted out of his contract because he was home sick, the broncos breaking contracts now is to get themselves out of salary cap cap trouble, which lodges contract was overseen by a different CEO, Head of football and coach

So why the double standards on your behalf? Remember we signed Milford because Raiders released him to be with his Father in Brisbane. I'm sure you weren't complaining then.

The Raiders didn't release him ... they never honoured his get out clause

Widdop is staying in England, he isnt coming back here i wouldnt have thought.

If the Storm dont want to keep Schonig, then i doubt he is worth chasing. He wouldnt be taking much room under the cap so unless he wants a move back to Queensland for family ( and seeing as he is from Cooktown i doubt Brisbane would be much of a pull for him ) i dont see why he would leave Melbourne. Like i said, if they are willing to let him leave, i'd steer well clear of him.

In terms of Props, we really should have been Nicholls, Tolman or Liu, but of course the latter is off to the GC now. We need some experience, we have plenty of younger talent.

I'd still suggest we need another back rowers as well. We have nothing really to play for now so i feel we should give Frei a run. There are still some decent pickups to be had in the ISC i think. Jordan Grant is another but i think the bloody Storm have their hands on him now.

Isaac Liu is going to the Titans?

 

[Kooly87]

Don't need him. We have Kennedy at 26 who just keeps on developing. Surely no one thinks he's rubbish now?

You do understand Kennedy can't play Prop on his own right?

 

[Dazza 92]

Isaac Liu is going to the Titans?

Thats what ive heard but, bit like Perreria, ive not seen anyhting offically announced from the club..

 

[Wolfie]

Isaac Liu is going to the Titans?

Yep. Seems that way.

You dont see Capewell, Riki, Piakura and Robati as sufficient Edge coverage for 2022?

 

[Dazza 92]

yep, and hes really looking the goods now....hes a keeper.

If i can make a argument against securing a "experienced" prop in the market..

I dont believe we need it. The balance of our forwards is now much better and more in line with the best teams.

Haas, Flegs, Paddy & Kennedy are your prop rotation.

Then we now have a group of backrowers who offer different things (though yet to see what Paikura can offer yet...).

The leg speed of Bullemor.
The line running of Riki.
The hard running, light stepping with a decent offload of Capewell.
Edge running and offloading of Robati.

For mine, the one glaring area there is at 13. Is it Hetherington, or Gamble, or someone else?

Gambles a footballer, he plays what is in front of him & makes the right read. Hes a 13 for me in the current game.

He can run the short side whilst Reynolds and Staggs cause havoc on the right...

Decent signing I guess. Wonder if they are going to release Peachey then seeing as he is off contract and struggling to get game time as it is.

 

[Dazza 92]

i dont think Peacheys going back to the Titans....

And no, i dont think we should lose any sleep not pursuing him either...

 

[Foordy]

If Nikorima wants back in Brisbane ... then i would definitely make him an offer, especially if he is only on the 470k the CM claim (in their rich list).

Nikorima and Milford didn't work together as a halves pairing ... but Niko could work extremely well with Reynolds.

I'd keep Staggs at center as he is just so devastating there ... but i would allow him to play a bit like Hodges did and have sort of a roving commission in attack

Nikorima works as a Utility/Impact Dummy Half too. He's got a lot to offer the Broncos in terms of depth across our spine.
