it doesn't seem that hard to win if you've come from the NRL ...

The only way was up for him really.. It was silly to think he’d thrive under the immense pressure that was put on him. Glad he’s getting to show his true potential now. Definitely don’t want him back at the Broncos, but would love to see him back in the NRL playing well for another club.

Wow, so constructive. Perfect example of the toxic mindset that ruins a clubs ability to adapt in order to compete each year.
It’s probably my fault that the Broncos can’t make finals though.

is the short corey contract something to do with the long service leave loyalty payments and cap restructure in 24 perhaps?

Yeah I think you could be right and it could be more about what the cap will be moving forward.
Maybe Oates doesnt want to be locked into a deal until the cap is formally sorted... Club may also be hesitant to pay him too much for too long without knowing what's happening.
Also how the **** has the cap not been sorted out years in advance??
Shouldn't it basically be sorted out straight after the tv deal is finalised? It basically represents 99% of the game's revenue so they should be able to determine what the distribution is to players and the associated salary cap once it's sorted out.

I'm not sure why people are still ignorant to the recent news of him playing with a fucked shoulder for over half the season. His attack went down immediately after Origin 1 and that's not a coincidence at all.
He was the form centre of the comp before his injury.
I will add they actually need to create shapes for him as this David Fifita style of early ball against 50 defenders doesn't work anymore, bloke still finished top 7 for linebreaks in his position and 12th in tackle breaks for the entire comp whislt playing with a munted shoulder.
People need to re-evaluate their stance on his season especially after this shoulder reco news came out.
Agree on RIki though the bloke has no excuses at this point.

Yes, that’s right however, I reckon with Covid, everything got messed up hence the delay in finalizing what the cap would be for 2024
. Never know what’s happening with that betting man in PVL & his side kick, Abdo.

Yep, 1 win out of the 8 this year and any other year that many wins would have firmly seen us in the top 8.
So the sky is clearly falling and it's time to start playing centres in the backrow and locks at hooker...
Brilliant plan, eh? Why stop there though? Why not put Arey in the front row and Corey Jensen at fullback...
