RUMOUR James Roberts to Broncos

[winslow_wong]

I don't think Roberts is the player that'd give us that extra to win a premiership anyway. We have the halves just need the forwards to get it right. So Roberts can eat it if he wants to fish for dollars. But if he comes then welcome aboard.

Haha nice hedging

Maybe Roberts wants to sign with Souths but is concerned that they don't have the cap space. They signed Burgess on money they didn't have, maybe Roberts doesn't want the same happening, and he's left in limbo. Valid concern, since the NRL only registered Burgess after Walker was released. Even if Souths do secure enough 3rd party deals for him, if they're short on cap space will they try to put him on a low base salary (with the 3rd parties propping it up), and if so, will the NRL register it if it's blatantly below market value?

I'm a simple man.

If Roberts joins the Broncos, I will love him.
If Roberts doesn't join the Broncos, I will hate him.

Can we all agree this situation is a mess?

Firstly, this is typical Titans. In a horrible season where their club was on the verge of extinction, they find one silver lining and happen to lose it in the blink of an eye.

And now we've got clubs bending over backwards trying to sign him.

Souths just lost a fair chunk of their roster trying to sign Burgess. Now they're apparently trying to shop a few more of their spuds around trying to sign Roberts.

St George Illawarra somehow have $400K sitting around in loose change and they're trying to lure Roberts to their little flea market.

And then you've got Brisbane in a similar situation as Souths (although don't you dare call Copley a spud or I'll cut you. And by cut you, I mean post a passive aggressive meme pick).

Further, we're officially in the dullest period of the Rugby League calender where teams are just slogging it out in pre-season and we've got nothing to talk about Rugby League wise. So we're over-analyzing every situation. Oh people are crying at training? Copley must be going to the Titans! Oh Madge is meeting with Roberts. That's it, Game Over Man, Game Over - I guess Copley is a decent player after all. All we need is for one of those Illuminati nuts to come into it and tell us how Rusty is corrupting the game.

There's got to be a better system than this.

And the Titans...

my god the Titans...

We had a great year and I like our list the way it is but Roberts is one of the few players I would add simply because I think we have lacked a little bit of pace out wide but if he doesn't come it won't bother me. There are two things I don't understand though. The first is why we would have to lose anyone to fit him under the cap. We have already lost Hodges, Vidot, Dodds and a heap of others. Surely they weren't playing for nothing. The other thing I don't understand is why if we do lose someone it would be Copley. He is a good player with a bright future and doesn't he play left centre and Roberts play right. I would have thought Reed was the one in the firing line not Copley. (Not that I want to lose him either) Also it would be a bit harsh to give anyone their marching orders now when we are so close to Christmas. It doesn't give them much time to find a new club.

I wish the fool wouldn't keep saying its not about the money when it clearly is. Nobody would blame him either for wanting the biggest pay day he can get, i know most of us here would choose a job that payed a lot more money.

I would honestly withdraw the offer to him now. He has had enough time to decide, he has been shopping himself around for weeks. If he doesn't want to join the Broncos for what we offer and the culture we have here then let him go elsewhere for the bigger dollars. We dont need that sort of character playing in a Broncos jersey.

What is with the potato head comment?

I rate Cook pretty highly, I wouldn't be surprised if that downgrade isn't as noticeable as people are predicting

Just quietly, Luke is pretty massively overrated IMO. Other than his dummy half running, he's really average at best (and pretty bad when it comes to things like defence too).

Has anyone heard of Roberts is coming here? Smoking Joe?

The lurker now saying Roberts to the Broncos maybe cause James Roberts liked Brisbane Broncos on Instagram...What a circus lol

 

[big k]

Just like the Milford saga I want this over and done with.

 

[Steph Louise]

If this is true, i really hope he comes out and officially breaks the news before christmas. Like even first thing tomorrow morning would be great, just so the mole and everyone can stop the media frenzy over it lol :laugh:

I actually think him liking the Broncos is significant and am now fairly confident he is signing with us.

Hope so mate!

 

[broncoboy]

im pretty confident that the south sydney rabbitohs are gonna pull out and we will get him, if so Wayne bennet is a master he could have easily offered hum more but we may get him for a low price also. him liking the broncos page is pretty good sign
