Dolphins will win it with Wayne as coach sometime in the next 10 years. I don’t believe the old bastard when he says he’s hanging up the boots after next year.

There's no story. There is no suggestion anything has already happened. Like I said, there's nothing new there.
If there is a rumour floating around the media that he's already "as good as signed" Badel either doesn't know about it (unlikely) or he doesn't trust the source (refreshing).
Last time Badel wrote a similar piece, Patty announced the next day, surprising everyone.

If Griffin is given the sack I hope the Broncos are on the phone straight away to Ben Hunt to see how he feels about his future at the Dragons.
He said in an interview he would have a re-think about his future at the club.

He's signed until end 2015 - by which time he'll be 36 - and said he doesn't want to start fresh (coach/club):
“Griffin has been here for a couple of years now and we are building in a direction I believe is the right direction,” Hunt told reporters on Wednesday. I believe if you take away your coach and bring a new coach in, it’s going to start that cycle again and to be honest I don’t have the time to start it all again. I’m getting to the back end and I’m not really keen on starting fresh.”

The perfect successor to Adam Reynolds is about to hit the market but we'd rather another spoon than sign him:

He's not keen on starting fresh and going through another rebuild, which is exactly what's going to happen when a new coach comes in. He comes to the Broncos, he won't have that problem.
However long he's signed for, it means nothing really. If he wants out, he's getting out.

If you're talking about Luai, he's not fit to polish Adam's boots. And **** yes I would rather we win another spoon that sign that *insert nasty words here*.The perfect successor to Adam Reynolds is about to hit the market but we'd rather another spoon than sign him:

If you're talking about Edwards, I fail to see anything in his game to support a view he'd be even a decent halfback, let alone one of the best in the comp.
If you're talking about Moses or Wighton (both also mentioned), I would possibly take Moses but not for what he'd be asking. And a no to Wighton from me as well, he's no halfback.

You are not suggesting Luai that is not a halfback would be a good replacement for our halfback?The perfect successor to Adam Reynolds is about to hit the market but we'd rather another spoon than sign him:

If he came to the Broncos, he'd be starting fresh with a new bunch of team mates and completely different dynamic. Bigger deal than a new coach, I would think. He's not coming back.
That article (Paul Kent) is suggesting the Panthers let Luai go. Current Origin halfback, multiple premiership winner, World Cup grand finalist. You won't find a better credentialled half to take over from Adam than Jarome.
Only problem is he's probably the most hated player in the NRL. And not in a good way.

I'm not even suggesting him, if you read it again. I'm saying like for like, he's as close to a replacement as we're likely to find. Mam has already said he wants to switch to 7. But Luai has played halfback and even hooker at rep level. Halfback, five-eighth, whatever. Again, I'm not suggesting we sign him. I'm just saying it's a shame he's such a ****, because he's a proven match winner in the halves.

6’s these days are a dime a dozen and most of them decent. 7’s are where there is a dearth of talent.

Luai is one of the most over rated players in the NRL and the last player I would want wearing our jerseys. He is just a complete embarrassment to the name of NRL. I would rather Billy Walters over him and thats saying something.

Well no, Jarome is the incumbent NSW five-eighth and RLWC player of the tournament in his position. He's played in the last three grand finals, winning two of them. Adam last played rep football in 2016 and a grand final in 2014. Jarome has played halfback, five-eighth and hooker. Adam has only played halfback.

He's a current Origin 6, not 7, and he is only in the team because of Cleary. Luai is one of the most over-rated players in the comp, on top of being a top shelf wanker.
What exactly is like for like about Luai and Reynolds? What parts of their game? In fact, is a single thing Reynolds is complimented for, a strength of Luai? Kicking? Organising? Goal kicking?
Luai will be a proven loser if he ever leaves Penrith. If you swapped him and Dylan Brown, I guarantee Brown looks the better player.
