Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2021

I don’t think we’re signing him but really his offences aren’t the worst. It’s not like he was out stomping heads or stabbing or raping. Getting sacked by one club is punishment enough, someone else will pick him up.
I don't think it is the "crimes" it's the personality, guys who love the beers and the boys are a double edged sword and in a young team you don't want your senior players to be the ring leader of shenanigans. The imbalance of youth here is the only reason not to sign him at the Broncos.
 
If we were looking to add a bit of depth to our forwards the Titans have a couple still unsigned ( as far as I know) Sam Stone played a few games late last year and seemed to go okay. He played a part in the Tits late season burst. Thought he was solid. The other one is pretty young and the Tits rated him , Darius Farmer a young backrower. We've probably got enough though. I did think Stone was good enough to add depth.
It’s way too early for another Darius.

Shane Flanagan has disputed that Matt Dufty is not coachable.

"Flanagan says he never found Dufty hard to coach. He was inquisitive and wanted to know why certain things were being asked of him, but not to the point of rebellion.

“He would ask a lot of questions,” Flanagan said.

“Sometime players don’t ask why, they just go and do it. I like the kid.”


If Shane Flanagan likes Dufty that’s good enough reason for me to put a line through his name.

I wished I was as good at predicting lotto numbers as I am at predicting bhq responses. I just knew your comment was incoming, thinking to myself as I wrote the name that there'll be some intellectual giant out there with an oh so clever response😃 never change 😉
 
we have a good core forming now ... optimistic about a finals return in 2022.

1. Tesi Nui
2. Selwyn Cobbo
3. Herbie Farnworth
4. Brenko Lee
5. Corey Oates
6. Kotoni Staggs
7. Adam Reynolds (c)
8. Pat Carrigan
9. Jake Turpin
10. Payne Haas
11. Kurt Capewell
12. TC Robati
13. Kobe Hethrington

14. Corey Paix
15. Rhys Kennedy
16. Tom Flegler
17. Jordan Riki / Brendan Piakura

IMO, that's a top 8 quality top 17
Although I like what Carrigan brings and mindful that he's still very young I think he's a total pop gun as a front rower. I don't think he'll be much more than that until he's older, say 25-27. No offence intended and as I say, he's definitely a solid first grader. I'd much rather an older head like Kennedy partner Haas. Doesn't have to be Kennedy, just like having an older seasoned prop and would prefer two of them. That said I wouldn't like to see Haas go anywhere else.
 
Dufty looks like the perfect Super League player, hopeless in defence but great in broken play.

Actually I'm wondering if Matt Dufty comments may have burned any chance playing Super League. Although I respect that he wants to challenge himself at the highest level which is NRL.

I also think he should be playing NRL and rectify some of the problems in his game. Its not like he's the only player in the NRL who has weaknesses. I mean for crying out loud Anthony Milford has stunk it for a couple years.

St George Illawarra Dragons star Matt Dufty believes a move to Super League next season would be “disrespectful to myself” as his future remains shrouded in uncertainty.

Dufty needs to have a club offer him a contract to play NRL ... and honestly that's not looking likely. every club who was interested in him, has gone cold on the idea ... there has to be a reason for that, and more than just his defensive issues

Happy to give you a reason to get up in the morning old fella 👍
 
Making a judgement on a person's character based on a couple of mistakes is quite frankly fucking stupid.

Morning? No fucking wqy. I'm always up at the crack of lunch ! Unless of course it's my incredibly generous employer!
 
some more "news" from Badel:
  • we've been offered the services of number of Props since Lodges release (namely: James, Woods and Taupau)
  • says we've been offered Taupau a number of times over the last few months but would struggle to afford him (currently on 800k a season)
  • Nikorima won't be coming back to the club. Ikin has no interest in tabling him an offer. says he is happy with our halves/utility stocks for next season
