Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2024

Melbourne might offload NAS while covering some of his wage to make room for Utoikamanu.

Thoughts? If he doesn't demand the kitchen sink, he would be some great experience to bring on to the bench and to mentor the young blokes.

14. Mozer
15. Willison
16. Hetherington/Oates
17. NAS

Unless he goes to Penrith, the moment he leaves the Storm he'll all of a sudden start to get pinged for his (non) play-the-balls and cheap high shots.

Ben Te'o joining the coaching staff next year

It was the one guy I was expecting to come on board

 

[GCBRONCO]

Broncos coach Kevin Walters has made his first move to bolster his depleted coaching unit by poaching former Queensland Origin hit man Ben Te’o from the Dolphins.
Te’o will move cross-town and join Walters’ coaching staff next year as an assistant following the departure of John Cartwright (Hull FC) and Lee Briers (St Helens) to the Super League.

Walters is also understood to be considering Parramatta interim coach Trent Barrett for another assistant’s role from next season.

Barrett is a free agent and will not remain at the Eels under incoming coach Jason Ryles.

The loss of Te’o is a blow for the Dolphins given the former dual-code star is regarded as one of the NRL’s emerging coaching talents.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Not sure what the structure of our coaching staff will be but I want Kevvie to find some one to build a defense that works.

 

[Old Mate]

Trent Barrett, hmmmmm…..

 

[Foordy]

Trent Barrett, hmmmmm…..

He seems to be one of those coaches that goes well as an assistant ... but shits the bed in the head role

This, not every assistant/lower grade coach can make the transition to the NRL as a head coach successful but that doesn't mean they aren't upto to being a suitable addition to your assistant coaching staff.

I mean they did talk about him as the attack coach for panthers before dogs didn't they

 

[Manofoneway]

Have no evidence but I reckon trent Barrett is a white anter.

 

[Bucking Beads]

At the very least Trent Barrett provides a completely different set of eyes. Never been involved at the club at all. You don’t become a head coach to begin with if you’re not a good coach.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Really? Barrett? That's the best we can do?

 

[Skathen]

Not a fan of Barrett at all. Everything wrong with NSW over the last 20 years boiled down into a person.

 

[Manofoneway]

Ben teo will have an impact with our defence

 

[theshed]

Trent Barrett, hmmmmm…..

Yeah I liked the post while reading about Ben Teo then undid my like at the Barrett part.

 

[FACTHUNT]

Trent Barrett? It's a no from me dawg

 

[Gaz]

Kevin needs more then Ben and Trent is a fuckwit.

 

[Manofoneway]

I like the fact that we get an ex head coach in there though. That adds alot because they know the pressures of a head coach. Anyone know what Benji is doing after the Tigers inevitably flush him down the toilet?
