NEWS Broncos to sign Albert Kelly and David Mead

[PNG Broncos fan88]

Just shows that Kev is really serious about the halves pairing going forward.
No one is guaranteed first dibs this far out yet, but wants Kelly to be in peak physical condition on return to compete against his younger rivals.
As the article states, 2 weeks from the main group to burn away the excess kilos accumulated in isolation.

I think Kev was being nice. Kelly won’t get a contract after his train and trial expires.

Was he like that at the interview or didn't he have one. A lesson learned perhaps Kevin.

It looks to me, from the Kelly, Copley, Mead, and apparent love for Asiata, that Kev chose players like casuals play SuperCoach. Familiar names from within the last decade will do.

So far this season,

Lost:
Boyd
Fifita
O’Sullivan
Bird
Joffa
Luke
Teo
Joppa

Gains:
Macca
Copley
No Money

Next season not looking promising when a wooden spoon side has currently gotten worse somehow.

Clearly putting his faith in experience on a budget. IIRC Wayne tried that at Newcastle with Priddis and others. Ended up a shambles.

You mean Buderus?

Priddis was at the dragons during 2 minor prems and a GF win.

We rarely had Fifita. We had zero Bird. We only used Luke because Turpin was gone. Boyd was past it. Joffa was a spud. SoS was injured. Te'o was depth.

We effectively gain Milford, Turpin, TPJ, McCullough, Copley & Lodge, who we didn't have for most / all of last year.

Also did it at the Dragons and that worked out okay.

Valid points but what happens when our medical team inevitably makes players injured again? There is somehow even les depth than this season.

The difference being Kevvie is signing them as depth players to fill out the squad, not to be regulars in the 17.

 

[Gaz]

Difference is Wayne was trying to win a premiership with endless funds and Kevin is at the other end of the spectrum trying to get us off the canvas with little funding available.

That ‘No Money’ guy is going to be some player considering how much we have heard about him since the season ended and the fire sales started.

The only teams not concerned about adding him to the club are the titans and the roosters

only fools believe that

 

[Sproj]

only fools believe that

Or people who listen to what is repeatedly said by the club and backed up be evidence based lack of signings.

The point is, you may be right but it is NOT right to call someone foolish for believing what the evidence suggests.

not at all ... because if you believe we have no money ... then you must also believe that the NRL registered contracts for us that would have put us 1.5-2 million dollars over the cap for 2021 ... they wouldn't do that for uncle Nick, they're not doing that for us.

and all the lack of signings is evidence of is a shithouse market for the 2021 season. and the fact that they won't rush into signing someone for the sake of signing someone (no matter how much the "fans" want them to.) It needs to be about signing the right players not just signing players because they are available right now
