Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2023

[Wolfie]

Unheard it. It makes me sad

I can't now. I'm sad too

If the club were to **** up and not extend Patty prior to November, I’d genuinely start questioning DD & Ikin.
I think it’ll get done, but it’ll cost the club some dollars. If we could also extend Haas and Mam, I’d be a happy man.
Build the club around those 3.

Yeah, Patty, Mozer, Mam, Walsh are all the must keeps. That’s a captain, a strong forward leader and most of a spine. Haas is probably in that group too. Outside of that everyone else is replaceable.

 

[holdzy]

Patty for mine is priority number 1. After that mic'd up session, he's a weapon and so good for the players around him.

Indubitably, bra.

Haas 100% needs to be included in there.
I think it can/will happen. Mam, mozer and Walsh don’t sound like they want to go anywhere. And hopefully patty and Payne know they’re the 2 long term leaders here.

 

[Sproj]

The only one I’m concerned about is Haas. I reckon the rest will stay unless they get a Fifita style offer.

Wally Lewis urging the Broncos to go after Sam Walker as our long term 7.
What a wonderful thought however, I don’t think the Rorters accountant would allow such a move.
You can’t say we don’t have the $ and maybe Ikin has been clearing the decks whilst in Mr Walkers ear.

 

[Big Del]

He has great value and could be a long term quality NRL player.

What are you basing that on ?

I`d say ; "The Best Predictor of Future Behavior Is … Past Behavior"

 

[Big Del]

concentrating on the grub instead.

Who is this grub you speak of ?

 

[Wolfie]

Who is this grub you speak of ?

The one who thinks he's a tough guy threatening women.

I may sound odd but is it just me or everyone else see a great 7 in Sam? I haven’t seen extraordinary play making abilities(at least 1 or 2 per game) in him. If he’s in some other team other than Rotters, he would’ve been written off by now.

Not that I want Dearden back but to me, he at least have couple of great plays per game (sad to say that it started after he moved to Cowgirls).

We’ve Madden here as an understudy to Adam. Let him learn the smarts and display them whenever he gets an opportunity. In the meantime, I trust Ikin & team to find a potential 7(other than the above 2).

 

[Kimlo]

Sam can stay at the Roosters. Forever. Do not want.

 

[theshed]

Yeah Sam hasn’t really kicked on after looking like an incredible talent early on.

It’s kind of like DCE, some players just start their career at full potential which makes you think they are destined for elite status due to how good they are at a young age but really they just continue with their early career solid form.

Roosters have looked extremely lost since Walker became the 7. He still has the potential but does not seem as sure of a thing as he appeared in his debut.

 

[nopatience101]

According to riccio we are right on the precipice after losing Herbie & Flegler and now Carrigan, who isn’t even off contract until the end of 24, could go…

It’s bizarre that they never make the link between the two, like perhaps we didn’t pay up to keep Herbie & Flegler because we knew we would have to re-sign Patty & Haas.

Barely heard a word out of these twits about our win over the premiers at home but they don’t shutup about this rubbish.

With Dearden, he's at his best as a running half, much like Mam.

I wouldn't replace Reynolds with him. If we lost Mam however, Dearden is a player I would consider

 

[Sproj]

Walker had a Tim Smith style start, hope he doesn’t follow the same trajectory

 

[IceWorks]

If true, that's a real mess and will result in a long term debacle for the club. Should be sorted ASAP for both Carrigan and the clubs future. No debate - get it done.

Yep, has to be a priority. If he was to leave I probably lose interest in supporting, not a biggie, but I suspect my view may be multiplied many times. When your club becomes a feeder club for richer teams like the Roosters and you can’t keep your top notch players then you will struggle.

 

[Sproj]

We will not lose Carrigan. The club knows how important he is, he’s future captain and they’ve sacrificed Flegs to keep him. They will not stuff this up, relax.
