Issac Luke joins the Broncos

[Big Pete]

 

[Alec]

I'd happily take Luke over Macca, especially when one is on 400k or so, and Luke would be on practically minimum wage. Luke is a premiership winning player, Macca is a perennial choker who has never been 1 step above average.

Luke is the perfect fit until Turpin is back, and even when Turpin is back, he's not an 80 minute player. Macca offers nothing for 80 minutes or 20, Luke offers something.

Does it still count as bring a premiership winning player if the player didn't play in the Grand Final?

Didn't this guy admit to trying to break his cuzzy bro's leg several years back? Never really liked the guy since then. He was a good player though, incredibly competitive. Still a bad signing for mine but.

 

[Unbreakable]

Good signing. I suggested Peats because I wasn't aware Luke would be an option. He's exactly what we need, good experience, good defensively, good service, good injury cover once Turpin returns.

Stop ya whingin'

 

[Galah]

Is paix injured?

 

[Battler]

There is zero downside to this signing. He's on minimum wage, is only signed for this season, and has hundreds of games of experience including 37 tests. We also make up roughly 300k by flicking Macca and replacing him with Luke.

 

[Foordy]

Is paix injured?

nope

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Experience. And it's cheap.

Common sense signing.

Absofuckinglutely sensible signing. We need experience and what better place to put it then our weakest position?

Seems a pretty good deal

TBF, he’s a grub.

But that’s ok, because now he’s our grub!

We need a bit of grub at the moment, lets be honest. **** being noble in this competition, nobody else is. Lets end them.

Tough to go down that road for long when everyone gets suspended for wearing our jersey

Agree but what happens if Newcastle don't want macca next season and he ends up back with us? Do we have to punt them even if they are killing it?

No, Macca gets punted to reserve grade.

If they’re killing it, someone else will offer them top dollar anyway.

No, Macca gets punted to reserve grade.

Yeah but his salary won't get punted along with him.
I am worried that we might have to let luke and teo go because of salary cap issues if macca comes back next season.
