The first because Kobe brings impact from the bench with his footwork against tired forwards.

If he starts his footwork means nothing... and he has no ball playing, so Patty would still be doing that... Kobe would basically be a prop with the 13 jersey on.
 
Aren’t we glad kevie is gone - he was single handily sinking this club with his recruitment and retention

Back to 2021 when we lost mccullough, Tom dearden wasn’t far off - even tho I am happy with the player we have in Ezra, he let Walsh slip through the cracks and picks tesi niu over him, only lucky we got Reece back because his daughter was here, he let bullemor walk who was a great young prospect in middle and edge, offers more than hetherington.. he fumbled our salary cap and giving blokes like cobbo and Staggs huge deals , resulting in losing Herbie, we also lost flegler but keeping both of those near impossible anyway
Tyreece Tait how did we let slip? First year of cup at the chooks at 19, 10 games for 11 line breaks and 14 tries… absolute speedster

Ben wants a 3 year contract. I think what you will find happens is Brisbane offer a 2 year deal, option in the clubs favour for a 3rd, with the captaincy being his in 2026 after Reyno retires. He will then slot into that halfback role in 2026, mentoring Black as the season progresses. What happens with Mam is still anyone's guess, but they will make it work either way to allow Hunt to slot in. Hunt can easily rotate with Mozer to allow Mam (if still at the club) to strike up a partnership with Black if he is ready by then.

Let's face it, it is inevitable Reyno will miss games next year. Having Hunt there as someone who can slot in seamlessly is a gift from the gods for Brisbane. He is also MUCH more durable than Adam, so there will be significantly less impact on the team when Reyno does go down for a game or 3.

Macca was a good bloke and a good Bronco, I feel our previous regimes turned him into a 40+ tackle bot with no energy left in the tank to attack.

Dearden got thrown to the wolves way too young (thought this was Siebold? Might be wrong).

Kev always wanted the young fellas to do their time in reserve grade (was the plan for Walsh), he thought he was better than that and went to NZ, came back thanks to the good relationship with the 2 clubs and just signed for longer. Had his best year of footy under Kev, but can't really credit Kev for getting him back here.

Bullemor hasn't set the world on fire post Broncos, liked him here at the time but would pick Hetho over him every day of the week (admit he didn't have a good year).

Staggs was on a long term deal prior to Kev (or on the transition from Seibs to Kev when we were bleeding players).

Cobbo has heaps of potential and had some pretty good games in 2023, how much is he on?

Herbie was a bit of a miss, if the reported 850K is true than probably a good move, considering he was signed to Redcliffe prior to his 2023 break out.

Flegler was on big money here and I'm assuming bigger money at Redcliffe, unfortunately for him his stock has devalued with the potential carrier ending injury. Opposite to Herbie, with hindsight this hasn't work out for Redcliffe (yet).

Don't know much about Tyreece Tait, I have heard Roosters are trying to offload heaps of juniors as now any high paid junior ($30k or above) is supposed to be counted towards the NRL sallary cap. Is he one of these?

Kev will always be a Broncos legend in my eyes, excited to see what Madge can do for us though.

Well explained mate 👍
 
Article in the Tele this afternoon saying Brisbane has around $500,000 free at the moment in their salary-cap, but this would increase to around $800K if Kobe Hetherington is offloaded.

This would then certainly give youse blokes enough cash to snare Hunt you'd have to think. Tell Hetherington to get on his bike to the Tigers, sign Hunt. Simples.

I'm not ready to give up on Hetherington yet, as long as he is prepared to buy in and play bench.

Take the 500k we have free in our cap, add the likely cap relief we'll get for Mam's lengthy suspension and we should have enough for Hunt anyway... If we don't Hunt is asking too much

Why would a club get cap relief for a suspended player? Genuine question
