OFFICIAL Broncos Sourced Player Movement and Confirmed Signings - Locked

[Midean]

This is sombre reading at best.
Hard to take any positives out of this club at the moment.
This whole fiasco has soured me on one of my all time favorites in Locky as well. He can **** right off with the rest of them for all i care now.

Yeah I'm not sure how much is lockys fault but surely he either needs to grow a set or get on his bike.

Maybe the club has written off next year and will look to 2022 when players come off contract. Poor Kevvie either way, he’s in for a tough gig

But a competent club would look at the 2022 off contract list and sign up the needed ones and then see if they can come earlier. We are sitting on our hands because our board is incompetent.

I don't disagree with you, but part of good recruitment is selling the club in the best possible light (however broken the light is right now). Maybe we can appeal to his competitive drive to rebuild a club? I don't know. It's not the be all and end all if we sign someone like Fergo/Mansour if they are available but it would sure help. Oates can be backrow/benchy or nothing next year and if we managed to pick up Allan we could be looking at 1. Allan 2. Mansour/Fergo 3. Staggs 4. Bird 5. Farnworth which is suddenly looking like a pretty good backline. We can't take a wooden spoon and go into next season only signing Copley/Asiata. Surely fucking not.

Spoiler alert - we absolutely can and probably will.

Exactly. This is one thing out of the Roosters and Souths playbook that we could absolutely use. You need a fair bit of NRL help to pull it off though usually and we certainly won't be getting any of that.

To make that sort of conscious decision you'd have to indulge the fantasy that someone is actually steering this ship, to which all the evidence up to this point suggests is absolutely not the case.

There is someone steering. But the ship is the Titanic and the captain is drunk. And blind.

Maybe we should concentrate on signing Queenslanders. Would love to swap Lodge for Lindsay Collins. I reckon Roosters may take that trade. Collins is a Broncos junior I think. Bring him home.

Why would we want to help the Rorters out ... they get enough help from Uncle Nicks golf game

It's also sitting at the bottom of the North Atlantic corroding with rust which doesn't help either.

For the most part, those trades weaken us

Where's mitch222 @ with this signing news? Keen for some good news

 

[abashii]

$50 million isn't a net worth, it's just our approximate annual turnover. ...

Sure, I went with market capitalisation as a shorthand because the number itself doesn't really matter all that much in the grand scheme of things.

Yeah I absolutely take your point and that's fair enough. I'd figure for Lachlan Murdoch the Broncos are essentially priceless so it probably isn't possible to determine what they're really worth because he's unlikely to ever find himself in a position to need to sell.

Haha because it would help us too?

They only seem weaker. Take away names and reputations and think about what each player will actually contribute to the side. But also I think we'd gain some cap space with those trades.

I would help out Osama Bin Laden at this point if it would help us out too.

 

[Foordy]

No it wouldn't... it would hurt us and help the Roosters.

P.s it sounds like an uncle Nick trade, as only he could get away with trading a bench prop for a marquee prop
