Parramatta have run out onto the field and are waiting. The Parramatta players limber up as they anticipate an easy win to start the season.

The lights darken... silence over takes Suncorp.

Hell of an entrance for a ball boy.

How so? Kevvie and the club are getting on with business.. Smith happens to be geographically close & the Broncos are keen if he is but they’re not jumping at shadows

Apparently, internet randoms without any access whatsoever to the Broncos hierarchy know exactly what is being said and negotiated behind closed doors.

Or does everyone have to wait until 7:30pm because Cameron Smith?

If hypothetically speaking we signed Smith, how long would it take him to get up to speed? Fitness-wise he has done no real training since before the GF, he has never played at this club or with any of the current squad...

A month of fitness and training with the squad, before we could even consider running him out?

It’s Smith. You’d play the first chance you could, even if it’s in short stints off the bench.

He’d be pretty handy to bring on to stop the second half fade outs.

I hope not, by 7:30 I plan to be either half cut because we are down by 30, or half cut because we are up by 30. Either way he's copping a empty once the lights come back up.

Correct, I'd start him instantly. He could gain fitness during the season! An unfit CS9 is still worth two fit average guys if that makes sense.

We play in less than a week. Smith ain’t coming people, he’s trolling us on one last occasion. For old times’ sake.

You forgot to add the criminal investigation into the betting plunge which saw inordinate amounts of money plunged for the Broncos to get the wooden spoon for the second year running

I sure Kevvie is getting on with business as he has a big job in front of him.
The rest of the broncos hierarchy would be better off forgetting about smith. He has become a distraction we don’t need.

It's the media who are focusing on Smith ... not our hierarchy (and i doubt the Titans are either).

we've let him know that we are interested if he wants to play on ... then threw the ball into his court, and continued to prepare for the upcoming season without him.

history has shown that there is literally nothing we can do to stop Badel and co writing a story about this every second day.

We could just say we are no longer interested and he won’t be coming.
That would knock everything on the head and might even get through Badels thick skull.

of course we could ... but it wouldn't be the smart play IMO.

besides, all that would do is have Badel change tack and write different stories about us and Smith

I don’t know what he would write though because there wouldn’t be anything to report although I suppose he could just make shit up as he is pretty good at that.
