Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2025

[Big Del]

Staggs you can rely on a bit more than Cobbo which is why i would lean more towards him. Selwyn from the outside looking in seems a bit mentally fragile, and he doesnt have the best work ethic.

Cobbo also brings workrate... if we lose Cobbo that would mean we've lost our 3 biggest workhorses in the outside backs year on year (Herbie, Oates and then Cobbo) and the other backs aren't picking up the slack.

Yep, Mariner and Staggs is the go. Mariner needs to run the ball harder though,

It's all well and good to say, "just get rid of Cobbo". Who the **** is going to make early set metres without Cobbo?

if you get rid of Cobbo the replacement has to be a big bodied outside back to help with starting our sets off.

LOL .

Looks like Mole is amplifying that rumour:

Clearly fake news outed as fake news?

Don't look at me. I wasn't even able to verify whether Selwyn's dad's reply was fake news.

‘the mole’ is the most useless NRL journalist. I wish this guy didn’t have any presence in the space

 

[Ondi]

Ahhhhh I missed all the fun.

How about Staggs to the Titans then?
Kobe signs an upgraded long term contract?
Ondi finds fulfilling job that pays exorbitant amounts of money?!?!
........sigh, nope.

 

[Super Freak]

"lately"

This is his issue: flashes of brilliance, long slumps.

If you want to metaphor it as a mental issue, it's akin to bipolar. NOT A DIAGNOSIS.

Injuries he shouldn't have even been playing with which were affecting his performances (e.g Bulldogs) and adding the off-field issues onto that.

Hardly a shock that a young guy is going to struggle considerably under those circumstances. He's not a seasoned pro that's been doing this for about 10+ years.

I wonder if he had anything to do with Ben Te'o's appointment, having coached him at Souths?

Think he had a hand in both te'o and Barrett personally

I thought they were both Kev appointments? Or at least that's the way it seemed to be framed at the time. The Trent rumour in particular was around before we played the Eels in late August I think. Who knows what to believe tbh.

2025 will be his fifth season in the NRL. He's blown hot and cold in all of them. Let's hope this season he'll come of age.

Slow news days don't get no slower than this.

Courier Mail: no one wants to put their name to it.

[FACTHUNT]

Manager doing manager things, won't be long before the Cowboys say yeah we don't want him. They already got rid of a lazy centre lol

That's not the whole article. Not allowed to post it here. Gist is it's a rumour that's spread because no one has anything else to talk about. Probably made up. But might still be true. And here we all are.

 

[Wolfie]

I do think its more than possible letting Cobbo go could backfire on us bigtime. He does have a lot of upside but he might need to get out of his Broncos comfortzone to kick on.

Why does it feel like everybody has to do that tho
