Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2021

You have low standards.

Says the bloke that's probably chuffed about Jensen signing.

Lol

Jensen is also better than the Broncos signing my Grandma, but unfortunately that doesn't mean much.

Where's the youtube highlight video of your grandma playing?

 

[Johnny92]

should throw a offer at Mark Nicholls, think he is off contract this year

Reynolds would know if it's a good choice and probably would get him here alot easier.
Looks like he'd be a real likable bloke to have at the club

I found them for you, although it is easier to find Corey Jensen highlights when you don't intentionally mis-spell Pauli Pauli's first name and then type in 'Corey Jensen highlights' prior to your screenshot.

Thanks for deconstructing my joke

I looked but couldn’t find anything under “grandma upthebroncs”.

Interestingly, without clicking the links due to sheer terror, the suggestions Google makes instead are not ones that sound too savoury.

"Jensen has played nine NRL games in 2021 off the interchange bench, averaging a career-high 90 running metres per game despite limited minutes, and made 24 tackles per game at almost 100 per cent efficiency. "

Do you see him starting or on our bench? He could make an okay #13 for us.

How are you going to fit all these QLD Cup players you want into the starting 13?

Honestly I can't ever recall even remembering him in first grade so I have no opinion on him. Hopefully he turns out to be good value. I generally don't watch Cowboy games with too much focus other than for a quick laugh.

There's a difference between having options and signing all of them.

Give me a day in Broncos HQ and I'll sort the roster out.

Yeah I think he's solid but doesn't really offer much different to Bullemor/Carrigan/Flegler

God have mercy on us

This is easy man, one massive jersey with 13 on the back and all these guys in it:

13. Martin, Carrigan, Flegler, Jensen, Watson, Hetherington, Pauli

If anyone asks, just tell them Hetherington put on a lot of weight and spent the summer in Tasmania.

Ewww not Watson!!! The bloke is a half/hooker.. It's sad what they are doing to him at Knights

Jensen's numbers are actually extremely impressive this year in both QCUP & the NRL, I like it as a bit of a cheap moneyball signing.

NRL - 9.2 hit-ups per game, 98.6 running metres per game = 10.7 metres per carry (35 mins per game)
QCUP - 14.0 hit-ups per game, 172 running metres per game = 12.3 metres per carry (59 mins per game)

That's good for #2 in Queensland Cup for running metres per game. I would view him as a significantly more reliable & more consistent Kennedy.

Of course it would be double standards. We basically got rid of Pangai for ill discipline on the field and off the field troubles, and lets be honest, he didnt really do anything off the field as bad as Haas did. You really dont think his threatening women, threatening police isnt bad? Or him driving unlicensed and on his phone isnt bad? You have to be kidding. The NRL will probably sit him down as it is anyway if he has another incident. If we are serious about having good people at the club, he wouldnt leave DD with any choice but to get rid of him tbh.

You would think Payne with his family background would know the damage driving dangerously would cause as well. Great player, but it seems when the footy finishes he becomes a deadset idiot.

As for Moose, he's nowhere near as bad as he got made out to be. He certainley isnt on the same level as Parker or Hodges were.

To be fair @Wolfie we don't really know why we got rid of TPJ or Lodge. We had one poster in the know say it was the negative impact they had on team attitude. If that's the case, there's no double standard at all as we aren't talking about comparing off field behavior etc.
The way the team is playing since they got moved suggests that poster may have been right too.

It's a spiritual thing.

The Broncos were screwed from the moment they signed Lodge. It never mattered how well he played.

Thank god Bennett didn't get his way and also sign Russell Packer.
