Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2025

[Swordfish]

Why not? Bulldogs are a team of second rowers. We are a team of halves and hookers. Storm are a team of cheats.

Yeah, fucking cheats man. For mine, a Premiership is top priority along with beating them cheaters every year twice is equally priority. I hope MM uses all his coaching skills to fulfil my desires come 2025 season & beyond.

Looks like Opacic has interest from Dolphins - would have been a good reliable payer for us - oh well

He turned down the Storm, Souffs and Rorters as well. He seems a lot happier now he's back home. Honestly dont think he would be bothered if he played Queensland Cup as long as he was in Queensland. Being away from home with all the stuff thats gone on hasnt been easy for him.

Huh?? You do realise there is more money in overseas rugby union than there Is in the NRL? He is currently on 1.1 million a year and that’s about the least he has been on for 3/4‘s of a decade.

It's getting closer, not sure how accurate this list is as Semi isn't on it(Though I'm pretty sure his contract has finished now) but it says 10 of the top 20 highest paid Rugby(both codes)players are in NRL.

The Top 20 Highest Paid Rugby Players in the World

Done deal? Surprise detail seemingly confirms Cobbo's future

He is off-contract at the end of 2025.

www.zerotackle.com

This is the NRL in a nutshell.

Step 1:
The NRL show themselves to be amateur hour by getting so many details in the signing tracker wrong, in fact some whole teams aren't even there (https://www.nrl.com/news/2025/01/01/2025-nrl-signings-tracker-new-year-new-heroes/)

Step 2:
Do not double check anything and release in first draft form with multiple errors.

Step 3:
NRL journalists sniff a sensationalist headline - do not fact check

Step 4:
Other NRL journalists jump on the bandwagon.

Step 5:
Someone point out the obvious error (which hasn't happened yet) and then pretend like it wasn't an error but 'watch this space'

Step 6:
When something different ends up announced / considered - 'things change bro'

And if you are wondering what the obvious error is, look at the name above Cobbo and you have your answer.

Watch all the Sydney morons jump onto this and start claiming Selwyn has signed... until his manager says nothing is in the works... then it will be "Ooooo Selwyn's manager indicating a deal isn't close to be sorted... is there trouble in Brisvegas"

Cue the NRL media of accusing us of lying about Walsh's NRL extension.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Lmao, they deleted the article.

Zero Tackle, more like Zero Clue.

 

[Mustafur]

This nonsense sounds stupid, atleast run half the season, Cobbo's current contract is still the whole season away from even looking at, at current Staggs is above him for a resign but we know Cobbo is capable of more thus we wait and if this club makes it's decision any earlier It's a red flag big time.

Rest assured, the entire article was based on a misprint in another article, there is literally nothing to it other than whoever put it up on Zero Tackle didn’t take any time to do a ridiculously obvious fact check, hence it’s been taken down and he’s probably being laughed at by his colleagues.

Patty at prop, Kobe 13 ?

 

[Fitzy]

Patty at prop, Kobe 13 ?

The article isn’t based on anything. Just that Hetherington wants to start and thus that somehow makes it a difficult decision. I think Haas and Carrigan is a great front row but Hetho did not have a season that inspires a change that drastic to fit him in. It’s a no from me and I think logically it should be a no from Maguire.

 

[kman]

Patty at prop, Kobe 13 ?

I like this change, Kobe didn't get used well as interchange. He should be starting and has more to offer at lock.

 

[Sproj]

If we can get 2023 Kobe and not 2024 Kobe, that middle of Patty, Payne and Kobe would be amazing. It would also allow us to get an actual backrower or big back on the bench with two middles and the second hooker.

I agree but what back rower? Lol

Kobe might be better used as a back rower

Yes yes don't let facts get in the way of a good plan.

What ever happened to the "head of football" position we were on the lookout for?
