Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2026

What's the hold up in the DCE situation? Maybe the Roosters are the unnamed club after Pezet.

Just watched the BTFU podcasst with Braith Anasta. Just from body language and tone when he said certain things I think he is a deadset likely chance of leaving the Storm and the 'other team" in the race for him was said in a way that they genuinely are in the race. If there was only limited interest from the Broncos and Pezet wasn't interested in joining I don't know think he would mention it. Is a 360 host and familiar with sensationalism, obviously a breaking news comment gets him some advertising space in papers and shit which is kind of smart I guess but still he would have to have his clients interests before his.

Storm
Obviously he is signed till the end of 29' with a get out clause for this year or should Munster resign with the club. More naturally a 7, and I personally can't see Munster leaving Melbourne for Perth (he hasn't been short a buck in his career, nor would he be going forward). Braith to me seemed pissed off with them and I think some of the selection stuff with Pezet come finals time rubbed them the wrong way. Bellamy likely to move to the Titans or Retire next year his pull factor is limited. Slater IMO is a tough ask to give up the life he has and Braith agrees demonstrating that this at the back of there minds as well. I think with a deal till 29' and so much uncertainty he will take the chance to leave now. The way Braith was speaking didnt seem like he was overly satisfied, If Braith isn't satisfied it means his client isn't, cant be off running your mouth about disappointing string of events if he was likely to stay put. The only reason there is noise is because he isnt content. He will be out the door.

Cows
Decent club, a strong spine and instant starting spot. The team has potential and its a good club with enough strike power, possibility of even playing 7 if he is a more natural 7 and Tom more naturally a 6. Townsville is a shithole which he has no attachments to, consistently underperforms and coaching uncertainty going forward. I won't rule them out but at the very least Parramatta is seeming more favourable.

Eels
Club on the rise that his dad previously played for. Good coach which he has a history with. Reasonably strong spine and excellent halves partner. Closer to home and a big club. Could definetely see Jonah at the Eels. Only concern is does he see himself more naturally as a 7 and is back end of last season enough to convince him that the Eels is somewhere he confidently wants to be.

Broncos
He'd have to wait a year with a likely fair few appearances throughout the season but afterwards he gets the Brisbane Broncos 7 jersey in a premiership window. Unreal spine, forward pack and assets around him. Obviously high level of competition with Duffy and Black there as well which might spook him. Somewhat familiar with south east qld and Brisbane obviously with Falcons and Tigers but yet again move closer to family might be in the back of his head.

If I was Jonah
1. Parra
2. Broncos
3. Storm
4. Cowboys

Unsettled at the Storm, Parra gives him a spot next year where his dad played, Broncos prospect would be great for him but he'd have to wait and uncertainty is there as well making them no real different from Melbourne, Cowboys is in Townsville (eww).

I think the Eels will get there man but they have there fair share of negatives that might push him in Broncos favour

If he signs for 2027 with us he’ll still be getting offers for 2026 from top 8 sides like the raiders, sharks, and dogs who are desperate for a halfback imo. He doesn’t need to come here early and sit in reserve grade (although it’d be good for his development and us if he did)

If he is that fcking good Arey is playing for Karmicheal at the Magpies .
And Bhunt is playing #9 . Problem solved .
 
If we can he would be great value. The fitness side would be fixed if the same trend as last year continues.
 
Wasnt Jamal one of the great prospects, how on earth did he get let go from cowboys, and now needs a lifeline?

Quite similar to how Shiba was one one of the great prospects before being barley first grade
 
Daily Tele reporting tonight Broncos have now decided against loaning Blake Mozer to a rival for 12 months. Mainly due to Walter's injury obviously.

You would think next year is a big season for this fella. Lots of hype, needs to start putting it together. He wouldn't be the first hooker to be very highly touted in the NRL but never really reach the heights expected.
 
Rumour down here in Sydney that Brisbane this week have spoken to renowned sprint coach, Roger Fabri, about joining them for 2026 to be a specialist sprint and agility coach.

He has worked with some of the top players in the game so no doubt would be a big asset to work with Walsh, Mam and co.

I've still got hope for Mozer.

Im not sure where the loan stuff came from, but I feel like it was just trying to kick the can down the road for 12 months so Madge could figure out if he wants to keep Paix around and what to do with Billy...but to also get NRL games into Mozer.

All the reports had Mozer leading the race for the 9 jersey before his shoulder injury last preseason... so Madge obviously sees something with him.

Billy then jumped out of the ground as a perfect utility off the bench, so him and Bhunt were going to be the 9's heading into 2026 until the injury happened.

I think Madge wants to keep Paix around as a "club" guy and longer term 3rd hooker that works hard and stays on club friendly deals.. if he can turn him into a Mr Fixit then he provides even better coverage across the squad.

Bhunt likely retires after 2026, and Billy is off contract but getting older,the 9 jersey starts to open up in 2027.

Madge's longer term plan might be Mozer and Buk as the 9's, but keeping Paix around as capable back up 9 for injuries, can play 80 if desperately needed and happy to stay on good deals... also becomes an important squad player if he can learn lock.

Id imagine Paix and Bhunt are our starting 9's for 2026, but Mozer knows if he works hard Madge will reward it
 
I wonder if Buks or Mozer could also become that Smoothy style Mr. Fixit. In the short term, once Billy is back, he might well transition into it in the back end of his career. He obviously covers hooker and halves very well but he has the defense to handle middle obviously and could easily work as a link man. He probably doesn’t have the punch Smoothy might have had but he definitely bring a lot of strengths if you want to toy with a 9/14 of Mozer and Buks.
