Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2023

[McHunt]

Meyn and the CM have temporarily stopped talking about how we're going to struggle to keep Herbie.

they're freshening things up a bit by switching targets and are now talking about how we'll struggle to keep Flegs because of Haas and Carrigan. (salary cap squeeze)

All true.

 

[Sproj]

It’s funny how all the top teams struggle to keep their players at the moment except the Roosters who can afford to sign other teams’ big names.

They really only signed one big fish, but granted it's a whopper. We'll miss you Jake!

B.Smith
Lodge on minimum wage
Allan likely on minimum wage
Upgrading Walker, Suaalii (I think) and Manu

While losing...Verrills, Atoni and SST, oh and somehow convincing Crichton and Radley, two current internationals, to take a pay cut. Yaha.

It's the bulldogs that seem to be able to sign everyone under the sun now.

David Stagg promoted from Norths Colts assistant coach to ISC assistant coach. Stagg has worked for the Broncos for 10 years too.

You now have Te'o, Hunt, Stagg on ISC coaching staff.

I reckon Staggs may make a really good coach. Not the most talented but still played to a really high level consistently. Had to work hard to achieve everything. The makings of a good coach if he can pass this on to the young players.

At the end of the day they will all know what it takes to be a good coach, it will come down to their ability to manage men.

You can have all the stats in the world, know what good shapes look like, know what the team needs to do to get the right results etc.. but if you can't motivate them to do it, you won't cut it. Kevvie for example, he strikes me as the kind of bloke who hasn't got the coaching aspect of it down pat but I reckon 90% of the group would be prepared to run into a brick wall for him. You compare that to someone like a Neil Henry.

 

[Swordfish]

I just came across this & been wondering who he is? Can someone tell who the guy holding 1 jersey is?

 

[Swordfish]

Good signing. Been calling for it for a while. Good experience to the pack.

Asking again any update on Kearney, we need experience in Kevin's assistance. Media had it like a done deal and no news since

We the fans reckon that he would add a lot to the coaching staff & support Kev immensely but that seems to be a wishful thinking at this stage .
For some reason, Kev is content with what he’s got & that worries me.

Uncle Nick knows how to “manage” the cap(with brown paper bags).

See here's the thing, Vlandys and his cronies have proven themselves to be absolutely useless at their jobs, so the smart clubs are taking advantage of it. You are not going to get caught by this regime if you are cheating and if you do get caught, I bet they would just sweep it under the rug anyway because you know what, there would be a lot of dirt out there on the greaseball running the show, it wouldn't take much to get a couple of photos or something and hold him to ransom.

@Sproj on P'et'er V'Landy's:

"He’s a good person, like a good bloke but I don’t think he’s a good chairman. He’s not the best chairman but he’s alright. I feel like he’s just a good person but I don’t reckon he’s a chairman. Even though he experienced footy, been through all the grand finals and all that, but I feel like he’s not a chairman. But he’s a good person, a good bloke and does a lot for the NRL. But the way he chairs is a bit weird, I guess. He’s a good person though. He’s an alright chairman.”​

[Swordfish]

It’s hilarious but @Sproj is hell lot smarter than you project him to be mate.

Factually inaccurate though, I don't think V'landys is a good bloke.

 

[Chewed]

Mole saying we have let Oloapu negotiate with other clubs, asking for a big transfer fee too.

 

[Santa]

Sounds like the Broncos have given in. Oloapu granted permission to talk with other clubs (Dolphins seem to be the destination, but he's also talking to Gould too).

 

[BroncosFever]

"The young gun signed a three-year deal with Brisbane in January and claimed he was given the guarantees of being in the top 30 squad, and also playing five-eighth."

See, that right there, the club would never guarantee that. How could they? Does he think he's leap frogging Ezra Mam and a few other likely types? The guy has never even played in the NRL ffs
