Sort of, they never had him so they didn't stuff up keeping him but they certainly stuffed up getting him. I said at the time they told him to catch an Uber in and don't tell dad about our meeting.

Sam told Ben and when compared to Easts taking Ben and Kylie down to Sydney and showcasing where he would live and how they would look after him- decision was easy. Trying to get a 16 year old to sign a deal without his dad didn't go well.
He probably had to pay for the uber

He was probably on his dad's Uber account anyway.. considering he just turned 18 this year he would've been like 16/17 when they tried to get him to come in and sign.

Fucking imbeciles in the recruitment and retention department... how does Nolan even have a job after that kind of debacle.

We're meant to be a development club and this is how we propose to deal with juniors coming through.

Hehe yeah most likely will happen. I just have a feeling both of them will want to much money if they are forced out and I'd prefer Koala.
Pretty cheap really....$7.50 a piece from our $15 left in the bank😳

They make the 3 stooges look competent

We would almost have them until we throw in some left over jerseys from this year, no one wants that, so they declined.
 
I just don't want to be desperate enough to sign every player coming off contract. I don't think Hunt offers anymore than Kennar.
Well he does offer one very important thing which is that he can actually play Centre and we are horrendously thin in that area going into 2021.

Like I said, your local park cricket club recruits more professionally down at the local shopping centre than the Broncos have managed.

If Addo Carr and Vunivalu and Tino are going then they shouldn't need to let anyone go

there is now talk that Addo-Carr may see out the final year of his contract
 
I'm sorry, but the more I think about this Sam Walker situation the more it just infuriates me that this isn't a bigger deal.

Let's be clear here, if what @1910 said is true, and I have no reason to doubt it, then the people charged with recruitment at the Broncos asked a literal CHILD to sneak out of the house and get in an Uber (how the **** was he supposed to pay for that being a minor with no legal way to hold an Uber Account) so that we could put what you'd presume was the first proper contract he'd ever seen in his entire life in front of him and ask him to sign it. Oh, and by the way, please don't tell your parents (who are also our former employees and still active in the industry ) so it can just be our little secret.

Are these people serious? How are they still employed here? What the **** did they think was going to happen if he actually went through with it once he got home and his parents found out?

Honestly, this is the kind of shit I'd expect from the folks at the Catholic Church, not a professional ASX listed football club that turns over tens of millions of dollars a year and supposedly prides itself on player development and welfare.

Seriously, anyone who is still defending and making excuses for Paul White, Peter Nolan and anyone else who was involved in this decision really needs to have a good hard look at themselves.

Don't believe it completely as fact, it's probably second-hand biased info. Remember, 1910 has close ties with the Q-Cup and the Jets in particular, and has shown in the past that he doesn't particularly like the Broncos. I can only assume it's the old "Brisbane joined the NSWRL which relegated the Brisbane comp to reserve grade" butthurt coming in.
 
12 months ago I was all for us signing Tuala. Now, I wouldnt. His defence is shocking.
