Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2025

I'll have whatever he's smoking.

Pretty sure you already have it.

Man watching Herbie for England reminded me of just how good he is - we seriously screwed up not retaining him. Mariner has the potential physically to be as good but I don't think he has the footy brain Herbie does. Herbie is a legit gun.

Its the old footballer vs athlete thing (though Herbie seems like a mix of both), Broncos seem to prefer the latter ever since the early 2010s.

Taupau signs a one year extension.

Taupau signs a one year extension.

It's queer how long the club gets around to announcing these extensions:

I would have loved to have kept him, and I think the club would have also.

The problem was the reported 850k a year the Phins offered him. I'm not sure any centre is worth that

Also just a quick comment on the assumption that Reynolds will retire at the end of 2025.

That's not a certainty yet. He has said he's not sure if he wants to go around again.

If he decides to go around again, we should definitely offer him a new deal. He'd be much better to mentor Black than Hunt would.

It really is a myth that he is prone to injury. With the exception of 2024 and years nearly a decade ago, he has averaged over 20 games a year.

I wonder if we might try to get him back though. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but you'd take him over both Cobbo and Staggs now if you had the choice.

Some more re-signing news for Brisbane to be announced later this week - I think you lot will be very happy with this next one

Also hearing some whispers about Cam McInness. Madge loves him too.

Staggs?

McInnes would be cool though, wonder if that means if Kobe is off.

Nah **** that. A sprinkling of NSWs filth in the right places I can cop but too many of the ***** is not on.
We are still a Qld team and need to keep it that way.

If it’s not Fletcher Baker, we riot.

Mozer i'm guessing unless you are being a smart ass...

I quite like McInnes and is a tough all effort player that we need more of but his best position is already filled my someone better so would be a luxury signing so hoping your whispers stay just that

 

[mitch222]

Staggs?

Nah its Billy for 6 more years for sure. Thats the only signing that would genuinely excite all fans

 

[FACTHUNT]

We need Cam McInness to bring down the average attractiveness scale tbh.

Sabre Tooth McInness could eat an apple through a tennis racquet ffs

 

[theshed]

Cam would definitely change the intensity of the preseason

 

[Battler]

McInness would be a very good signing. The perfect player to play 9 for 20-25 mins and then rotate to lock for 60ish mins to close out the game.
