All of this talk about the broncos possibly missing out on gagai because we have "too many good backs" is ridiculous.
Reed, maranta and to an extent copley and kahu are all expendable if it means getting gagai. Obviously you dont need to lose 4 players to get him, so reed and maranta should do
Problem would be finding another club to pick up Reed's salary. Its a joke we signed him on such a long deal
I can guarantee you Reed is on WAY more than $150k a season, it's closer to $350k from memory.
Him and Gillett both signed long term contracts at the same time back when we thought they were both the future of the club.
It was reportedly 250k for Reed
My money is still on Wayne giving Hodges the tap on the shoulder at the end of the year and telling him its time. The captaincy this year is his swansong.
Wayne has shown he has no problems making the hard decisions, Gagai is as a young and long term centre option for the club.
Although painful to admit, this is probably the best option for the Broncos going forward. Hodges will probably go overseas for a couple of years with a big ESL, and Thaiday (who I expect will also be shown the door by Wayne) will most likely sign a big money deal for a desperate club like the Titans or Raiders and wither away into non-relevance, which is a shame.
Hodges said he'd like to play in the ESL before he retires.
Gaga would be a great replacement.
Wow , that pair were pretty convincing.
