Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2025

Wouldn't surprise me if it's the Dogs.
I feel like they might not be able to offer too much more than us... it will be the desperate teams like dargs, tigers, etc. but rorters have a massive amount of cap available with all the outs next year.
 
We have staggs, cobbo, willison, reynolds, mozer, hethrington and a bunch of mildly above minimum grade players off contract.

If we want to keep someone I doubt we lose them, just a matter of who we lose.....
 
I doubt Gehamat has any chance at a contract ...

Never heard of the other three.

BTW, were they actually signed by the club or just sent to pre-season training by our QLD cup affiliates as part of their agreement with us.?

Shibasaki- Wynnum
Vaihu- Souths
Powell- Bears

Agreed... by my count we've only got 14 players signed for at least 2026... realistically we should have cash there to retain who we need to.

I would hope that we can retain Mozer, at least one of Staggs or Cobbo (but I think we should be able to retain both) and Willison (although he's going to get some attention from the market).

Some squad guys that shouldn't break the bank would be Jensen and Kobe.

1 Reece Walsh (2029)
2 Jesse Arthars (2026)
3 Deine Mariner (2027)

17 Ben Te Kura (2026)

Potential Va'a Semu (2027)

Depth Jock Madden (2026)
Depth Josh Rogers (2026)
Depth Billy Walters (2026)

My issue are the depth guys we've got until 2026... outside of Madden I don't see much use for them moving forward and would be hoping they're on near minimum contracts.

Maybe someone like Madden looks to move on to somewhere to get a better crack at first grade if Coby becomes the obvious 7 moving forward... but Rogers and Billy aren't going anywhere until end of 2026.

could see billy heading to the UK if he isnt playing FG next year

Yeah he could... but he's over 30 now and has a paycheck for the next two years.

I'd say he's not going anywhere next year and he's only moving in 2026 if another team is offering him a 2 or 3yr deal (like Capewell)... but by 2026 he'll be 32, so that's a big commitment for a team to contract Billy until he's 33-34yr old.

He could be looking at retirement by the end of his current deal.

He could swap places with Paix potentially.
