I would cop a placeholder coach from now until 2027 for that to happen.

I'm a bit more torn than most people on Staggs. To me, even last week, he has been playing with passion, effort, and aggression, and has been determined to win the battle against his opposite. I don't think he is lazy, I think he is a victim of the team's performance. he has never been a numbers player, it's always been the quality and aggression, and ability to pull out a winning play if the opportunity presents. If the rest of the team improves, so will he.
But he's not worth $800k/yr. For that money he'd need to be dragging the team to victory even if the team is playing shit. He should be making opportunities, not just relying on others to create them.

I think beggars can’t be choosers. Our second row stinks and he’s arguably the best in the comp when fit (even when ‘clocked off’). Would you rather have Fifita on the left edge running off Walsh or JetSki?

And the one thing that the broncos dont/cant do, which Sydney teams probably have a better chance of doing, is if he just drops back to a normal Qcup contract next year we could have him drop into one of our affiliate teams (Wynnum, Souths, etc.)... so if desperate times come then we can always call on him under a train and trial deal after round 11.
That way he isn't signed up to a Top 30 contract.
Same could be done with Leota, Jhunt, Gos, Rogers, etc.
Basically any guy that doesnt get a first grade spot somewhere could be picked up by our affiliate (at the request of the broncos) and we can then call on them if needed... without having to spend a top 30 spot on them.
Of course if they get another NRL deal or whatever elsewhere then good for them... but at least it could be used to flesh out some train and trial guys that could/can play NRL if needed in a pinch... because at the moment it doesnt seem like there are guys at the next level that can be called upon so we are stuck with the top 30 and dev deal guys.
The affiliate team gets guys that trained with an NRL team for the year... putting them in good physical condition compared to the rest of the comp.
Rinse and repeat year on year... grab some more guys from the affiliates, train them with the NRL team and then drop them back in qcup to keep building up the quality of that lower competition and our affiliates.
Could be a win win for broncos (increased depth to call on without using top 30 spots) and the affiliates (their players exposed to higher training standards, etc.), which could start to make it very beneficial for qcup teams to want to be an affiliate with the broncos
Hosking wasn’t Broncos work it was Wynnum, they signed him and got him a pre-season. Broncos couldn’t find a place for him in top 30 and Penrith could.
He’s struggled all year; only played three Cup games.

Why? so he can reject us for the 19th time

If the other options are the Titans and the Phins we are in a better position to not be rejected

It won’t matter what happens. Either we try and get him for the thousandth time and end up with egg on our face yet again, or we don’t and everyone will say ‘Brisbane failed spectacularly’ and Belly won’t be able to resist saying that if there was any interest he would’ve come, even though we all know he won’t, and wouldn’t.
If Bellamy says to the Storm I am done full time coaching but wouldn't mind consulting and helping out. They are going to let him move to the Coast and live a great life going to Melbourne one day a week.
Look at NSW camp last week, didn't want the head role but happy to sit up the back and help Daley.
I reckon that's a pointer to the future.

Wayne should do that for us and the Aussie/Qld teams
I found it interesting that Bellamy said he barely spoke to the players, just helped staff out.

Please not this again, haven't we all learned from the first 4 times Bellamy played this up just to dash our hopes, embarrass us and revel in our misery?!
A winger that makes ground and scores tries is Tom Rodwell at the Roosters, he's been good this year. Four tries against the Raiders, 13 for the year from 12 Cup games. He's in that sweet spot now of 53 Cup games and 24 years old. He's not a sensational winger but he makes ground, and scores tries and doesn't seem to be a dickhead. His ground making is statistically the best in NSW Cup or Qld Cup this year.
Of course, your brother coming through at the Roosters too and probably going to be the half with Walker for 10 years would take a bit of convincing to give up.
