He likes things balanced at the Roosters, 50% of the cap goes to the veterans, 50% to the seasoned players and the last 50% to the rookies.

It would be interesting to breakdown the Roosters squad into similar brackets.
I made a post recently saying we didn’t have enough 100-200 gamers but tbh I actually don’t know how we shape up to the good teams

@1910 might remember what I'm talking about.I'm pretty sure it was in reference to Sam Walker.
It may have also been in reference to his depth chart and how he likes to have the NRL Player, The Depth Option and then the understudy ala Sam Walker. So in that case Kyle Flanagan, Lachlan Lam and Sam Walker.

Right, but if they're letting Haas go just to sign an older less athletic version, it's a downgrade. Especially when you consider the esteem Haas' team mates hold him.

It’s not if it’s on a third of what Haas is

The issue is that we're talking about Klemmer. This is the same Klemmer who pulled the exact same move on the Bulldogs to go and get paid by the Knights and has phoned it in. He plays exactly like Haas, except he's less athletic and more one dimensional.

I had to put it into a table... and have also added the rorters squad to give an idea of their composition.
2020 was heavily weighted on the rookies and sub 20 gamers... whereas this year and next year looks to be leaning heavily on the 20-59 gamers, also noting that several of the 2022 squad have jumped up to the next bracket in 2023 due to games played this year.
Comparing that to the rorters squad and they lean much more on players beyond 60 games with 12 players beyond that bracket being regulars in their 17... compared to 4 for us this year and 8 in 2023.
That could be a matter of circumstance for the rorters given their squad has been together for so long... but it would suggest that the broncos should be looking to get more of those players beyond 60 games and definitely more beyond 100 games.

The media are pretending that Gamble just said this stuff. Other fans are posting it was said about a month ago.
The old drunk Buzz Rothfield etc are leading the charge

You know if you're going to slag off journalists as dishonest, you might want to try being honest yourself. Here's what was actually said:
"Gamble made the comments as part of a one-hour podcast interview three weeks ago in which he largely praised Walters’ team-first mentality, but said Broncos players mainly sought help from marquee recruit Reynolds."

I never mentioned what he said. So don't twist your shit with me.
The same suspects Badel, couriermail & the drunk. They are twisting what was said.
Bronco gives Walters no respect Fair to say Kevin Walters may be regretting picking Tyson Gamble this week after watching this?

The thing is if they supposedly don’t lurk bhq for their stories, then why wasn’t this reported by them 3 weeks ago. It’s a throwback to the seibold era when AT LEAST once a week a cm story would be rehashed speculation from this website. You should be taking a commission for finding them this story mchunt.

You said this: "The media are pretending that Gamble just said this stuff." Which they're not.
I find it often the case when you factcheck a spazzout at the media that the spazee failed to comprehend the article or only read the headline.
It's been all over Reddit for some time. The take that Gamble was having a subtle dig is pretty much everyone's impression. It's not confined to a couple of blokes who write for some newspaper.
