Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2022

[broncos4life]

He sees himself as a fullback not a winger, so he goes to a club where the fullback is the club captain.

Got it.

I think he is clearly going there to be on the wing as they have had so many injuries there it is basically Isaako or the fittest bloke in the crowd at the next home game.

Yep. Barring injuries, he isn't going to be playing regular footy at the Broncos this year. Might as well go somewhere to get game time before the move to the Dolphins.

 

[Trill Harrigan]

wonder what we'll spend the money on? how much is it do you guys think?

 

[mitch222]

Brisbane already announced his departure

 

[Skyblues87]

Should try and get Walsh back now.

It was rumoured he was 500k a season

 

[pagey]

Wow, someone at the club has more confidence in Niu than I do

luckily they're the professionals and you're not then

 

[Volvo Driver]

Get a load of the headline story on foxsports.

 

[Kimlo]

Assuming 500k is accurate, him leaving immediately frees up 320k on this year's cap.

That's a good amount to play with.

 

[Morepudding]

Seems an odd move as I’m not sure exactly where we are planning to spend the money… unless front end someone like Haas or Herbie or something?

 

[BooKhaki]

Unless we have someone lined up to sign, I don't understand this. He is our first choice reserve fullback, and probably first choice reserve winger. I hope we sign someone of first grade standard.

 

[the_next]

Probably an unpopular opinion but, I’d be having a chat with Reece Walsh.
Edit: could also be $ to put towards Haas, possibly some shuffling to try and keep Oates/Herbie.

 

[WASSHHH]

I loathe the Eels, so I can’t wait to see him do Isaako things in an Eels jersey

 

[BroncosFever]

What a bunch of flogs, flogsports.com.au

When he was with us "BRONCOS IN CRISIS"

Now he's off to a Sydney club.. "BIG BOOST"

What a bunch of flogs

Pereira would be the next winger in line I would say and he's not that bad either, plays with lots of energy

Fullback depth is now a concern, they will have something planned though

Isaako is arguably a better winger, but it could be JP as first reserve. Isaako is clearly one of our next in line reserves and would have got several games this year. I hope we have something lined up.

I know you’re just having a dig but that was kind of my point. The guys who watch Niu train all week obviously are backing him to get the job done despite a slow start to his career at fullback.

I wonder if this is a move to get a Cobbo or Farnworth deal over the line. If so, I rate the strategy.
