After seeing Corey Oates smirking and taking the piss on the news tonight about the pokies stuff, I hope we don't recruit him. Too casual about everything and it's shown in his form this year.

All still speculation from the media. Waiting for the club to make a statement.
If there is truth to the above, my LVP rankings have been fucking spot on
Confirmed on channel 7 news just now.
The writing is on the walls for these guys.

Not really. The club needs a quality fullback. We are plush for second rowers. We need to move away from the 'jobs for the boys' mentality and be more ruthless.

Sharks have told Duggan to look around so they may be interested in Bird if that happens

Is Bird even going to be able to get back to his best? He is fairly injury prone, he has bad arthritis already and a newly reconstructed knee to add to that. He is a risk which may not pay any rewards. I would not be opposed to moving him on.

I'm actually glad we lost the way we did in the finals. This is the silver lining. If we lost by up to 12 points, doubt anything would have changed. Finally, change is coming.

I'm pretty sure Bird has an option in his favour in 2021 and if I had to have a bet on it, I would put money on him not taking up that option and heading back to Sydney in 2021 anyway. All speculation of course, but why not give him the option of heading back home a year early next year and using the 700k or whatever saved to buy what we really need. Even if we had to pay a chunk of Bird's salary, we could still land a good halfback from somewhere, surely.

They're shopping Dugan to pay for Ramien.

Who remembers @Smokin' Joe saying 6-8 weeks ago that Darius & Macca already had their "futures taken care of"? Nobody believed him, when will y'all learn? Don't doubt this man.

The fact Darius has repeatedly said he isn't stepping down or retiring makes me think he's happy to just sit in Qcup and cash his cheque.

Makes me wonder if Boyd was told half way through the season that he was gone next year and all this crap about definitely playing on is just a page out of the Bennett playbook.

You'd think if you knew you were nearing the end you'd actually have a go though.

I think that's what would be happening IF the rumours are true.
It indicates that the Broncos want to keep Bird, but if he gets an offer from Sydney they won't stand in his way.
I think that means they're not really seeing Bird in their future (or at least on that pay packet) beyond this year, or the next year if he takes up his offer, so if he wants some security he could look for a long term deal and make the move early.

Same. Given the deplorable lack of good leadership I think it’s imperative that we re-sign Glenn. He’s the only decent leader we currently have on the books.

Yeah, we've been through this. I'm certain he wasn't.

lol. The examples are all there. I'd rather be "an fool" than blind.
