Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2026

[BroncsFan]

from the Courier Mail:

Despite interest from the Broncos, it is unlikely that off-contract Luciano Leilua will move on from St George Illawarra mid-season. Leilua’s request for a release was knocked back by the Dragons.

The "interest" aka a Sydney journo chucked something in the paper

Please not Leilua.

Would love to pick the eyes out of the Warriors production line though.
Pick up 3 young guns, let them fight it out for a bench spot

only trouble is, they’d claim we owe them three of our best juniors, Hastings Street in Noosa and a portal out of the 1980s in return..

It's complete bullshit that we had to release Anderson when the Wahs just gave away Metcalf. Our club folded like a camp chair..

Broncos didn't have to give up Anderson he wanted to go, Broncos allowed him to speak to the Warriors, and Anderson/Warriors got a deal done. Broncos released him a year early to take it up. The Barnett deal was done; they are not reliant on each other. Everyone wins.

likely knock on effect of the PH story. Had he gone it may have had legs.

He will fit right into us if he comes: Devastating one week, disasterous the next.

That's even worse for the club. They could of easily offered Anderson a longer deal surely. Who the hell is running this club at the moment. Ffs

Which weeks are we devastating?

Why was Anderson keen to leave the club so soon after he’d arrived ?

Devastatingly bad?

It really feels like the Broncos seem to let players go early much more than other clubs. Storm and Panthers always seem to keep players for depth.
They probably thought Shibasaki was going to continue being good.

Anderson had only been at the Broncos for a matter of weeks and was already eager to leave

That's another way to look at it.

I think wahs gave him a 3yr deal and he had 1yr left with us.

But it says broncos "allowed" him to talk to wahs... so it was still around that whole shit of wahs wanting a trade.

Madge just brought Anderson to the club, I'm sure he wouldve been keen to keep him around

Well he could have kept him then if it was independent to Barnett. If that's true, its another pretty big stuff up.

We've been screaming out for our R&R team to be proactive for years and aside from some green shoots with Ikin quickly taken away, its been a LONG time of this now.
