Let him go, he’s not even good.
He's sexy, and that is the main area the Broncos have gone wrong the last few years. Must keep.

I agree we need to stop calling them juniors and actually get down to the meatWhat do you do when you have someone like Mozer, been at the Broncos since 13 and contract at 15 but has come through the Coast?
That’s why I think you need to get away from pathways or juniors. It needs to be age and signing.
It should have nothing to do with the location you get the talent from and more about what you put into it. The club should have to prove they invested into the kid and actually made them a better footy player. I don't think slapping Broncos sticker on a jersey ala Gympie Devils or Bribie Warangals should make their players yours. Those Clubs never got better and either did the players. Granted some talent got picked up, but the NRL should stop talking about juniors as it is used as an excuse like they said the Roosters don't have a junior area. Nothing stops any club going out doing the hard work, Politis wants another club in the Ipswich area, why because he wants another club scouting and developing players so the Roosters can pick them up on the backend.I agree but I’m not sure of the best way to do it.
Clubs take players from all the place and don’t even move them until they are 18 so even though you have them signed they’re not from your area. If you reward area you’re really only rewarding a very small minority.
Broncos wouldn’t get anything for Staggs they signed him at 15 in 2014. Scanlan went and signed him and kept him there until Dolphins Colts.
People really show their low footy IQ by saying Carrigan isn’t a good player. Do they forget how good he was in 2019 and 2020? There is massive recency bias based on his poor start to this season.
It sucks for patty cause he is looking at all these over inflated prices for players that are nowhere near as good as him… but the matter of the fact is you can’t win with over inflated salaries… however Carrigan is young and heavily regarded as our future captain so I’d probably give a 100k leeway and take a look at a 500-600k deal for probably 1 more year then the 2 offered. I haven’t even had a read of what everyone else says. Patty is criminially underrated and is a must keep in my books (within reason). The way I view it is we can upgrade/extend Payne (not to desperate yet),Carrigan and Selwyn as well as afford a good hooker.I think generally speaking, people know he is a good player but I don't think many view him as a 450-500k a year player.
He has one of the worst ruck defences in the comp. He is Joe Offa 2.0 just smarter in regards to penalties. The new game doesn’t suit him.It sucks for patty cause he is looking at all these over inflated prices for players that are nowhere near as good as him… but the matter of the fact is you can’t win with over inflated salaries… however Carrigan is young and heavily regarded as our future captain so I’d probably give a 100k leeway and take a look at a 500-600k deal for probably 1 more year then the 2 offered.

Yeah mate. I remember when we were getting pumped by 40 every week and 60 mins into every game everyone standing around with hands on hips and Pat having 2-3 runs a set out of our end.People really show their low footy IQ by saying Carrigan isn’t a good player.

He’s not even one of the worst ruck defenders in our team lol. As wolfie said, he has lapses when he’s severely fatigued after being on too long. I would argue also a lot of the penalties/six agains he gives away are because he’s trying to give our line time to reset. Because we were losing the ruck so much this happened more than other teamsHe has one of the worst ruck defences in the comp. He is Joe Offa 2.0 just smarter in regards to penalties.

I think Patty, if managed right, has a long career in the origin squad, maybe not always top 17 but he’ll be in most extended lists at least. I don’t want to lose him but I also don’t want to pay him close to Welch money.Carrigan still has plenty to improve on. No doubt he had defensive lapses, but so does Payne Haas when he gets fatigued as well. They were poorly managed, said so at the time and i still believe it now. Payne especially i think with the size of him needs to play less minutes but the ones he does play will be of even higher quality if we manage him better. We now have the option of getting Pat out of lock and having a prop rotation choice of Flegler, Carrigan, Haas, James, Jensen and Kennedy and that means we can ease in the likes of Robati ( who i think is far more suited to lock anyway )and Willison with less pressure on their shoulders.
Welch in the current market is probably a 700k-$750k a year player and approaching his peak years now, i dont think Pat is anywhere near that level yet, he needs a consistent couple of years. I still honestly dont believe he is asking for huge money anyway, i think he is probably looking for a 3 year deal. At the same time though, like the majority of people out there, if he gets offered a ridiculous contract from the Dolphins i can see him taking it and he would probably be stupid not to.I think Patty, if managed right, has a long career in the origin squad, maybe not always top 17 but he’ll be in most extended lists at least.

Your fucking clueless if your seriously comparing last years joint best player with Joe Ofahengaue. Why don’t we just start comparing gamble and Reynolds aye.He has one of the worst ruck defences in the comp. He is Joe Offa 2.0 just smarter in regards to penalties. The new game doesn’t suit him.
I still dont want Mahoney... not because he said he hates the Broncos, but because prior to his 2020 form he was very one dimensional and was basically a tackle bot.Parra's talks with Mahoney are at 600k.
