Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2025

[I bleed Maroon]

Dane gagai supposedly not getting offered another contract by knights. Bloody old for a centre but could we use him for 1 year, let staggs and cobbo go, then have mariner + glut of great young centres coming through from reports can learn off him...

Nah. I get what you're going for, but Gagai is well past it. We already have Reynolds and Hunt here, add Gagai into the mix and it begins to look a lot like Dad's army. This team isn't chock full of "youngsters" anymore. Most of them are 50 games in or there-abouts. They shouldn't need another senior head.

Re Tui,
History shows Melbourne don’t release players that aren’t washed.
No from me unless it’s filthy cheap for depth.

 

[Harry Sack]

I've heard from a reliable source close to the Storm, that we've offered Kamikamica $100k for each letter in his surname.

Stays on here.

Yeah, I've heard from a pretty reliable source that something is going to happen at the club in the next two weeks. That's all I'm saying.

There we go bunny’s out of the box he starts next Friday as I’m aware, hopefully some good recruitment gets done under Dave as he works with Simon.

I will say that news was the one I was most excited about from everything that's happened today.

For sure. We've needed to shake up our pathways / talent identification for years - sounds like a massive step in the right direction. If he can help identify the footballer while Scanlon or whomever keeps identifying the biggest, strongest and fastest, we should end up having a very, very strong pipeline.

I would take Gagai, Papilli and Kama for next year for sure. We lack experience all over and no old heads to follow. Let players go and keep the players willing to change and improve.

No other news has been confirmed thought right? Just the cobbo tui rumours?

Yeah nothing else... other than Cobbo being dropped

 

[Swordfish]

As long as things get done to make us “the best club” again in the background, we’re sweet. If that includes the dumb**** NRL Media don’t have a clue about what’s been happening inside & around the club, you would’ve to say it’s ****in genius.

Bring back the glory days DD & MM.
Make us Great Again!

Piakura rumour: ‘club won’t get in his way if he wants to explore other options’

 

[Super Freak]

If Dane can bring Jamal along with him, that will be great.

 

[john1420]

I hope the club are actually trying to get him back. Replacing Piakura with Fifita on the left would be like going from Jack Cogger to Moses.

Only if Moses overpaid, lazy and dis-interested

 

[BroncsFan]

I forget that they have Lahrs as well.

It's like every forward prospect went to Nth Qld and now they're all stuck behind each other.

Riley Price was there as well, but went to Penrith recently I think... doesnt look like he's getting much of a chance there so broncs could have a word with him as well.

 

[Gaz]

Step in the right direction.

 

[Big Del]

Well two points of detail there Harry .
Reynolds rarely uses the back rowers to pass to .
Piakura generally plays on the left . Reynolds on the right .

IMO Kodi Nikorima is a much more skilled half at putting his back rowers into space . He does it regularly . Reynolds rarely .

Even Tommy Dearden could put Jordan Riki into space .
Bit of an idciment on Reyno`s use of back rowers IMO .

Can someone please do a @BroncsFan style spreadsheet with all the ins and outs of the Cows and Storm during these periods.

I wish we had him before he found Perdue
