Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2022

[Morepudding]

Let him go. 350 Max. He is not in the elite centres in the comp. We keep giving these young players opportunities before they are at the level of performing week in week out and they turn around and cash in when they finally bear fruit. Let him walk

My logic is, Oates was on $500-600k. I’d let him leave before herbie and Herbie can go to that wing if need be. Isaako was also on $450k+ I believe. So surely they can balance it out to get it to work.

 

[Kimlo]

Herbie is worth 450k easily. He's a solid all rounder and a 7-8/10 every week.

You don't let players like that go, they're the foundation of successful teams.

I'd go anywhere up to 500k gladly, above that would sadly be a walk away.

Herbie’s biggest concern is how much we paid Staggs. Hard to justify another fat wage centre

I get that, and there is an argument against paying your centre pairing 1.2m, but Herbie could potentially (and I maintain should) transition to fullback where he'd be a bargain at 500k or less.

I tend to look at salary cap as an average, 10m/30 players = 333k each. Is he worth more than 1/30th? Absolutely.

If we need to cut wages, Oates is a good start, do a Melbourne and find a budget winger and bench player or two to balance the cap every year.

Too much too soon. Prime Corey Oates was 500k. He’s not prime Corey Oates. 300 for another yr.

Josh Ado Carr is on $500k and Herbie isn’t JAC. He may definitely be worth $500k but doesn’t mean paying him that much is best for the team. Hope he stays though, I’m a big fan.

Only argument against JAC is he isn't versatile, he's just a winger and is fairly low-ish workrate.

Herbie can play anywhere 1-5.

But it's a fair point. Is JAC the ceiling for a winger, or did the Dogs simply score a good deal?

I wonder what To'o is on. He'd be the closest to Herbie in terms of playstylr, high workrate, strong all rounder, no ballplaying skills.

I think even cutting Oateys wage but keeping him, I think Oates himself would admit he's not his former self and pricetag.
If he was a fullback he would be racking up 200m+ he would be up in the top tier in that department, even at centre I believe his metres are above average for a centre.

Only argument against JAC is he isn't versatile, he's just a winger and is fairly low-ish workrate.

To'o also I couldn't see him anywhere other than the wing tbh, Herbie is also a great goal kicker.

I've never heard of a winger being paid more than JAC

 

[Sproj]

400k, get it done. Manu probably re-signed at Sydney for the same.

Manu is on 400k on the cap 320k in brown paper bags so 720k total

In 2021 Manu played 23 games in a winning side, 84.76% tackle efficiency, 10 tries 40 points in total, 7 try assists, 12 line breaks, 3253 running metres averaging 141m a game.

Herbie played 20 games in a loosing side, 84.62% tackle efficiency, 3 tries 11 goals 34 points in total, 7 try assists, 11 line breaks, 2906 running metres averaging 145 a game.

I'd let all three go. If they want 450+

JAC might not play multiple positions but he does his job at an elite level and can win games with his speed that others cant

 

[Blindside Bronco]

Farnworth for 3 years
$550k -$500k -$450k

Well as clearly set out on the weekend, Herbie can win games with his speed as well?

 

[big k]

With Turpin on the outer could we see Walters at 9 with Mozer off the bench next year, which would swap and Mozer at 9 and Walters at 14 when Mozer finds his feet? Mozer would have a full QRL season under his belt and having him start from the bench would ease him into first grade

Paix will be next man up. Mozer shouldn’t be rushed in. If he is playing well he may get the odd call up late in the year. Would be good to get Mozer and Mam in the same Cup team.

He's not as fast nor as consistent as Addo Carr. In saying that he doesn't play on the wing, which I agree with others is his better position.

I also think his steal was a penalty but he got away with it.
