Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2026

we don't have a million dollar 5/8

We have a well payed, underperforming 5/8.

He averages just over 1 try assists every 2 games and had missed the most tackles per game than anyone else. Literally bad in both attack and defence. Tom Duffy, who is on a quarter of his wage averages more assists and misses less tackles!

Need something but god is he one of the most ill disciplined footballers on the planet!

So basically Flegler (23 GF aside)

They're spending 1.3mil+ on Haas and 1.1 or w/e it is on Mitchell... how do they have money to spend?

Massive cap increases from 2027 onwards due to the new rights deal.

1 million+ for marquee players is pretty standard now and isn't a big percentage of the cap as it was say 10yrs ago.

I mean it's pretty shit but it's not a surprise, this is the same guy that agitated for a release mid-contract only to rescind it because he didn't like being booed. He is a genuinely great player but he is a pretty shit bloke lets be honest, I think his play on the field masks a lot of it but at a certain point it becomes pretty obvious.

Re: Payne - I'm just glad we didnt get SBW'd like the dogs way back.

I'll never forget his 2025 season and he has been just about the only player to give 100% every time he steps on the field. We'll miss him dearly just like when Parker retired. A clear drop-off in the middle.
