RUMOUR James Roberts to Broncos

[Broncoman]

I'm happy with the amount offered.

If he wants to chase the money and go back to the city that nearly ruined his career twice, that's his choice.

If he wants to win premierships and stay on the straight and narrow and make rep sides, he takes the 250 and comes here.

Mark my words, if he goes to South Sydney his career will be over within 3 years.

3 years? That's a long time. I'd say we will see cracks develop in his first year, and the second year, goooorn.

I'll keep these in mind

Good for you!

Well, that's it then.

Roberts is not coming to the Broncos.

Rabbitohs aren't going to **** that up..

what makes you think he isn't coming to us. I find it funny how everyone knows whats happening when in actual fact know one knows except roberts and his managers

 

[Smokin' Joe]

You can't do that......people on here were already onto the 3rd stage of grieving. You can't just go BACK a stage!!!!!

Nah, nothing official, and Mole is still hedging his bets by saying "We're still in it". But yeah, judging by the amount of time this decision has taken, it seems pretty obvious to me that the delay has been waiting for Souths to find the cap room / tpa's.

Yes agreed. Broncos have offered 250k/yr and Dragons 400/yr if reports are correct. Doubt whether Souths would even have room to match our offer let alone that of Dragons, bearing in mind diffy fitting in Burgess.
Also Gus Gould's comments, seems to be in the know, hope its not Panthers, and he has been takin piss out of us.
I am sticking to what Smokin Joe has said. It will be Broncos and hopefully we wont have to release Copley or Maranta if only offering 250k/yr.

Can someone explain this 'Souths need to secure TPAs'? Isn't the whole point of TPAs is that they can't be secured by the club or they count under the cap?

I know. It's like they don't even pretend they're following the rules anymore, who's going to stop them? The NRL, like they have with Burgess? That's right, Burgess is already officially in the All Stars, yet the NRL are being strict on Souths? Please.

Guys he HAS signed with broncos. The mail for Gus would have come from Anthony Griffin. He HAS signed 100%

I dont think it matters if burgess had signed with souths or not does it? Hes being picked for the world allstars cause they need 4 poms right?

 

[Big Pete]

That's exactly right Astro.

As per World All Star rules, you need 4 Poms, 4 Kiwis and 4 Australians.

Which is why the other Burgess brother is playing.

250K would be massive unders for someone of his talent IMO. We are probably still paying Kennedy more than that.

250K would only be until he plays some poor games, after which the figure would retrospectively inflate towards half a million.

 

[The mug]

He'll be at Souths. Russell Crowe rarely misses his man. 3PA being spun as we speak.
We'll keep Copley :)
