Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2025

[Manofoneway]

Munster took a reported 200k pay cut but is still getting $1 million a year.

Wighton took a reported 300k pay cut and signed with Souths for 800k a year.

Even if Hunt takes that kind of pay cut, that's still more than we can afford. He would have to take a minimum 50% pay cut and there is no way the NRL are letting that happen. Other clubs have tried in the past, it got shut down.

Plus he aint coming here to win a premiership. We wont be winning shite next year.

 

[Sproj]

I suppose the most recent comparison would be RCG. I wonder what GC signed him for

 

[Lockysillegitimatechild]

We are only "in the conversation" because it sells about 5 x the media than redcliffe.

 

[Sproj]

As much as I'd love Hunt to come back for a prem, I don't like our chances. I heard The recruiting team had a massive day today.

Person: Oi, yous know November 1 is in two days? Who we need to resign?

Donuts: You mean re-sign?

Lockyer: (incoherent rambling over a dodgy Zoom connection)

Person: We screwed up ha.

Donuts: Yep, you’re out too after this mess up. You too Darren.

Lockyer: (incoherent rambling)

Donuts: Screw it, bloke is on another planet…where’s Karl?

Morris: (Speaking into phone) Quick make that headline

Donuts: Man what a day with these losers. Stuff it keep Ezra. At least we got one thing done.

Random poster: I heard it was a big day in R&R land at the Broncs today

Makes matters worse the random poster was talking about Redcliffe… sums up the broncos I think. You know your club is fucked when it’s hard to believe your R&R team had a big day. I think the only big day they are having anytime soon is next Tuesday at the Melbourne cup do.

Pete Badel: BREAKING NEWS, Broncos sign bloke from another planet

 

[nopatience101]

I wouldn’t be writing us off for Hunt, he wants to come to back, there is bound to be plenty of movement. I think we could make a 2 year deal work.

 

[Old Mate]

Munster took a reported 200k pay cut but is still getting $1 million a year.

Wighton took a reported 300k pay cut and signed with Souths for 800k a year.

Even if Hunt takes that kind of pay cut, that's still more than we can afford. He would have to take a minimum 50% pay cut and there is no way the NRL are letting that happen. Other clubs have tried in the past, it got shut down.

What happens in that case then, he gave up a million dollars for an early retirement? He’s whole point was to get back to Qld. He’s gonna have to sign for considerably less.

I think I remember it happening with Folau to the eels and Folau just couldn’t sign? If no Qld team can get close to his price tag then is that just it for him?

That being said I’m sure he’s got somewhere lined up already.

Wightons was back ended tho right? Played for 700 this year 750 next year 900 and 950 the years after,guess back ended contracts are back on the menu pay him cheap the first year and a golden handshake the year after.

Munster took $250k below his market value (set by Dolphins 1.5m offer), and Wighton took $300k below his market value (set by Raiders $1.1m offer). I’m not sure if the NRL set different market values for them.

If the NRL sets Hunt’s market value as something like $700k, can we then undercut that significantly like Melbourne and Souths could with the above?

So YOU'RE the one leaking from inside the club...who knew...

 

[broncos4life]

So I guess we aren’t re-signing Walsh? I mean he has apparently been agreed to terms for months and we are a day before November 1 and nothing.

I can't believe there isn't more chat about this. Its a bad look for the club that they haven't got him signed yet

I think there isn't much chat because people are used to it from the club now.

 

[Gaz]

I would think most if not all trading is done when and where required and certainly before 1 Nov. It’s just announced after that date.
Hardest part of all is to stop the leaks and keep the media from carrying on with their bullshit.

 

[Renegade]

maybe there's just the finer details to sort and that's why, there's no real risk of him signing elsewhere?

if he's back at pre-season early it doesn't smell of someone dissatisfied and looking to go elsewhere

But I mean training is training isn’t it, just because he wants to be at his best doesn’t mean he isn’t going to use that fitness elsewhere. It’s not like the others are back and he is running plays with them.

If he has agreed to terms there is no reason not to announce, there isn’t a cooldown period if re-signing. If they think they are clever holding off the announcement, they aren’t.
