Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2023

[nopatience101]

If there’s one thing I’m disappointed in Dave since he came here, it’s exactly the point that he didn’t draw the line in sand as to who does what from the get go.

I wonder why Kev’s so offended if Ikin is head of football operations dealing with roaster movements. Sure, the coach should have a say who he wants but he can let Ikin do the work for him. Everyone knows Ikins the exact man every club dream of having as in charge of football operations at their club. Inspite of us having him, he wasn’t given the opportunity to do what he’s best at. It’s a pity.

I hope Kev has put this all behind & is solely concentrating on “coaching”

Yeah, donuts hasn’t exactly shown he was worth all the drama so far. I suppose we have a bit more stability and maybe it’s hard to judge a ceo when we don’t see the day today running of the club.

Remember, he had to sit out 6 months, he probably forgot how to be human based on Storm logic.

I thought of Ikin when I read this on Sunday;

SHOOSH

Who is the disgruntled general manager of football not happy at his NRL club and now looking elsewhere for employment opportunities.

Cardigan has re-signed till 2028

 

[the_next]

King Patty has extended until 2028

 

[Chewed]

Yeah, could’ve been said more diplomatically than that, but Ikin has never done the role before so maybe he did need to be better? I think we all probably just assume Ikin has done a good job, but there’s been quite a few spot fires around retention over the last few months, ie. haas, Karl, Mariner etc that collectively may suggest some problems?

Yeah, need to know the whole story. Who was giving Karl chicken sandwiches.

Maybe too much of our internal stuff is ending up on 360.

 

[nopatience101]

I guess @Wolfie needs a new mail man?

 

[Harry Sack]

Left field, Ikin wanted to extend Billy to play in the front row but Kev and co thought Patty the better option. Would explain why Ikin took a step back and suddenly Patty resigns. Plausible AF!!

Ben gave up the job in the pre-season .. but maybe he stopped his role much earlier due to the issues with Walters.
I agree with earlier posters though .. so confusing aye.

Patty was never going to be anything other than a priority re-signing, glad it is official though, he is THE forward to build around, even more so than Payne because Payne will always have that question mark over him as to whether he will throw another tantrum or something.

Great, great news for the club. Now get Mam extended.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Just to confirm!!!

 

[Foordy]

Probably heard that the other clowns aren’t prioritising Patty and wanted nothing to do with it lol

This aged well.

 

[theshed]

This aged well.

Just makes the joke funnier imo

 

[Wolfie]

Could well do. I'll be having words after the Cowboys game!

 

[BroncosFever]

Let's see what happens from now, Ikin had a lot of positive things said about him by a lot of different people but if you look at it in recent times based on who we've lost and who we've missed out on, can you really say he's done a great job?

Our biggest acquisition this season was Reece Walsh and that was basically a signing that fell into our lap.

Maybe Paul Kent was right, after all.

 

[Wolfie]

Its a beautiful day for the Broncos now the best forward in the game is locked up. I'm putting money on him to celebrate with his first try against the cows.

As I said elsewhere, crashing over The Chad and tossing his glorious mane in triumph.
