Goodbye my lover, Goodbye my friend.

what has Kemp done wrong ? ... doesn't seem that long ago many on here were questioning why he wasn't given more of a go

hypothetically ... lose Boyd and retain Kemp ... that has to free up 50 to 70k doesn't it ?

no doubt, Boyd has started the season better ... still rather bank the 60k and put Kemp on one wing with hopefully Michaels on the other

Oink !

Michaels, Hannant and Stagg are the 3 main players IMO.

I know these are the three main players to sign but honsestly how much do you think they would have to be paid to stay. I'd say hannant and stagg are both around 230-250 and michleas about 160

Sounds about right. Except maybe put Stagg around Michaels' price. Stagg is great, but I don't think he's one player who would be sought after much by other teams.

Hannat would be the Main priority. Stagg is replaceable. Michaels is good but I'd imagine he could get better coin elsewhere and would rather play in the centres. Eastwood should definitely be re-signed but again, with Folau coming he could get better coin elsewhere. We'll have mass exodus of outside backs with the signing of Iz - ie Davies, Kemp - so we have to rely on the top squad staying fit.

LOL, who do we have to replace Stagg? He's just as valueable as Hannant. He works hard in defense, does a lot of clean-up in defense and is the toughest player we have IMO. Plus he probably wouldn't ask for much. There is no way we'd let him go IMO.

I agree. Stagg is a very underrated player and I think we should retain him!

Stagg is replaceable

Stagg is an absolute tackling machine who does so much effective work in defense its not funny. He is nothing short of an asset to the team. Other clubs would absolutely love to have to have such a player in their 17. Dallas Johnson is in the same boat.

Not questioning or referring to your personal reasons for not finding him worthy of staying, but generally I feel its a shame that people tend to overlook players who's primary role in the side is defense as its generally not a eye-catching point of the game for most.

 

[Kee]

How can anyone even think that Stagg is replaceable.
Man!That kid does so much work and he is as tough as hell.
Never seems to get much praise on this forum or in any shape or form in the media.

I doubt VERY much the Broncs would even consider letting Staggie go. [icon_non

I agree with those who have commented on the fact that we may not lose anyone because of this signing. Surely we would be in front money wise with the players who have left in the last couple of years - even with the signing of Folau. There is now way we would be paying Simms, PJ, Wallace and Clinton what we were paying Tate, Webcke, Civo, Carlaw, Berrigan, Carlaw and Thorn - all who have played Origin or Test footy. Even with some upgrades this year to the likes of Hannant we have TC going at the end of this year and wouldn't most of Locky's salary be paid under the veteran's rule now so only a percentage if it is counted?

No doubt someone like Perry will be gone (not that it would free up much cash) and we may lose a Nick Kenny or a Joel Moon but I can't see the signing of Folau having much of an impact at all. I noticed the Storm CEO almost suggesting the NRL have a look at our salary cap tonight on the news - he is probably just looking to get the heat off his own plate as they would be paying more in player payments than us I am sure.

If Stagg or Michaels look like going I reckon everyone at BHQ could do without some cash and put it to good use - send it to the club and they can use it to keep both players!!!!!

what is the veterans rule?

 

[brisbroncosboy]

Cant get rid of Taylor he is still very young and will only get better with age, give him a few years and watch him go them will be one of the best forwards going around.

Get rid of Frawley and Perry

 

[Foordy]

I also think that with Latham leaving the Reds at seasons end that Davies may head back to union and the Reds next season. :idea:

 

[ningnangnong]

People who are suggesting letting go of Taylor are off their nut.

I agree Taylor is a PRIORITY signing, along with Hannant

The whole decade service to one club thing.

Regardless, I don't think it's any more than 10%

Agreed on taylor

 

[mrslong]

I have heard that Hannant is likely to sign a 3 year deal with the Dragons????? [icon_non
