Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2026

[Bull Shark]

Can one of the voices of safety around here (to rip off some ‘grade cricketer’ terminology) reassure me that the Broncos aren’t about to lose Antonio Verhoeven for the sake of this Barnett deal ?

 

[FACTHUNT]

I swear if we let go of Verhoeven I will send a bitchy email lol

 

[Battler]

Praying that we get him this year. Our middle would be untouchable on paper

 

[Bucking Beads]

I wouldn't let anyone go to get him

Mitch Barnett discussion has now moved to its own thread - https://broncoshq.com/threads/mitch-barnett-2-years-reported-2-4m.47906/

 

[FACTHUNT]

He's keeping Nicholson and Hosking out of the 13, I'd take either of them over our spuds.

 

[Astro]

Jeez why did we not keep tanah boyd.

 

[Waynesaurus]

Jeez why did we not keep tanah boyd.

Because he isn't consistent enough, he is rocks or diamonds, can do something good then next minute farks up bad.

 

[BroncsFan]

Jeez why did we not keep tanah boyd.

Lol bloke is in his 8th season and hasn't even hit 100 games... no chance he would've lasted at broncos even if he did stay

 

[FACTHUNT]

Jeez why did we not keep tanah boyd.

The human rice bubble would not have survived the pressure here

Like our fullback then

 

[Payneinthehaas]

Mate I’m more curious why we kept Riki and got rid of Hosking

 

[Brocko]

Pretty privilege

Time and time again the reason was given, but someone can correct me if I am indeed wrong:

He wanted to go back to NSW

Just like with the media that is never enough. When it comes to The Broncos people can say they need to move to Sydney for personal family reasons like Payne did and that’s not enough, apparently no-one ever leaves a club if they are happy there.

Yep, the media have one M.O for reporting on the Broncos and a different M.O for reporting on other clubs.

Take the Storm for instance. no one is talking about them being in crisis and they lost 6 players in the off season, which included their gun fullback and the most promising up and coming half in the game

He signed with Wynnum first got a trial with Brisbane and played four games for Brisbane after July. Penrith came in with two-year deal which Brisbane could never compete with Penrith offering that or didn't want too either.

Then he was released from his last year to take up three years at Raiders because Penrith couldn't offer that.

Not sure about home- he was born in Manly and has played for Newcastle, Wynnum, Brisbane, Canberra and Penrith. He's never been near Manly.

He's just one of those guys that you want to keep but not three years offer keep and he just has to take the chances when they come up.
