Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2026

[Jason Simmons]

Yeah obviously you're right! It was a generalisation and a bit of speculation which is 90% of the forum. Probably a bit too hard to grasp for a QPS robot!

I’ve been to too many Broncos old boys lunches to believe that nonsense for a second. I’m sure there are one or two like CONEHEAD that are pissed for some imagined slight.

But even during the darkest days of Siebold, he turned up to old boys lunch at Gambaros and so did a ton of the old boys. They were laughing, chatting, wining and dining, including with Siebold. I had a great chat with the mighty dish-head at my table.

The thought that there is or was any widespread animosity from the old boys, even in those dark times is just as nonsensical as it is today.

Horsburgh put pen to paper today I am told, club is waiting on a release from Canberra…

I know he loves a penalty but im genuinely excited for that signing. Especially if we can get him in for next year.

Maybe with a redhead we can get some calls off Todd...instead of having to challenge constantly.

His manager said today he hasn't been speaking to other clubs. Of course, his manager could be being cagey but that would be quite the turn around.

The Mole was saying Canberra Times reporting he's staying?

Interesting...

Not the biggest fan of Horsbruh but we definitely need to shore up the pack with some established commodities.

Barnett/Hors is a drop from Haas/Jensen but if Semu steps up, its a solid middle rotation.

Willison, Barnett and Carrigan starting. Semu, Horsburgh, Talty on the bench.

if the Mole is saying he's staying there is zero chance he'll be at the Raiders next year

for those playing at home, the Canberra times are basically saying that him staying will depend on the 2028 salary cap which hasn't been decided yet.

Horsburgh's manager Jeff Jurotte said:

"We haven't spoken to any clubs at the moment because we can't obviously," Jurotte told The Canberra Times.

"[Raiders chief executive Don Furner] and I have spoken about different scenarios and salary caps and whatever - if Canberra's got salary cap issues.

"But at the moment he's very happy there and he's contracted to the end of '27, and at this stage that's where we sit."

Don Furner said:

"Corey has not asked for permission to negotiate. Definitely not," Furner said.

He is contracted til end of 2027. He “can’t” talk to other clubs until 01 November.

Unless he is released of course…
