Rogerwilco ! Long time no hear . Do you think james is in for the long hall ? And any chance of your thoughts on the jack bird signing?

I would be very surprised if James doesn't sign. Much more confident than Ashley Taylor unfortunately. Ashley still calls Wayne so all hope is not gone. But what they discuss is between them and I can guarantee Wayne has discussed Ashley's plans with absolutely no-one.

Jack Bird is a good signing. As to what position I don't think even Wayne Bennett knows with 100 percent certainty. My bet is on centre.

Centre? Isn't that one of the positions Bird definitely doesn't want to play?

Bird may not get the luxury of choosing his position. Very rarely is player in a Bennett coached side afforded that.

I had just assumed that the main reason he can is because Bennett offered him a spine poisition. If that wasn't the reason than why did he decide to sign?
 
Broncos battle to hold on David Mead as Warrington targets flyer

BRISBANE face a battle to retain David Mead with English Super League club Warrington targeting the Broncos flyer.
Mead has had a turbulent beginning to his career at Red Hill, languishing in the Intrust Super Cup for five weeks before making his Broncos debut a fortnight ago following an injury to Corey Oates.
But Broncos coach Wayne Bennett has become such a fan of Mead’s attitude that he retained him on the bench against the Titans last Friday as Oates returned to the wing.
Off-contract at season’s end, the former Titan is on a meagre deal at the Broncos after taking a massive $200,000 pay cut to resurrect his career at Red Hill.
It is understood the 28-year-old caught the eye of Warrington scouts in February after Brisbane’s 27-18 loss to the Wolves in their World Club Series clash in England.
Mead faces a daunting task to crack Brisbane’s starting backline, especially with Jack Bird arriving next season, but the quest to win a title is likely to keep him in Australia.
“I haven’t got a manager yet ... I’m representing myself so we’ll see what happens,” Mead said when asked about Warrington’s interest.
“I want to stay and I’m hoping the Broncos want to keep me. My family likes Brisbane and I really enjoy the culture of the club.
“Whether I move to England or Sydney, I have family here and I want to prioritise them, so I’d like to be here next year. It’s good to know there is interest, but the NRL is the best competition.
“Winning a premiership is the first thing on my mind and the Broncos give me the best chance of that.”
Mead stands to earn more money in the UK but Bennett is determined to fight to keep the PNG international.
He says Mead’s happy-go-lucky personality and work ethic since his arrival over summer has been infectious.
“I was surprised they (the Titans) let him go,” Bennett said.
“Dave is a quality person as well as a quality player. I’m pleased to have him at our club.”
Mead admits he feared the axe after Oates was cleared, but he is determined to succeed in his bench role as the Broncos sweat on the return of injured halfback Ben Hunt.
“It’s good to earn that respect from the coach,” he said.
“To be honest, I didn’t think I’d be retained. Oatesy is an Origin player, but it was good to be on the bench and play a role for the club.”

Thanks for the response mate . Doesn't sound to promising for a taylor return then , Bugger ! Who would you have partner milf , if ash is to stay ?
 
If it wasnt for this yrs world Cup Im not 100% sure he'd still be playing.

He's set himself up well and that's why he's chasing finals footy at a powerhouse club.
 
I think origin will hit us so hard this year, and James Roberts could be selected this year. Playing better than all the centres for NSW.
 
Roberts won't play Origin this year. Maybe next but with Hayne Jennings Leiluia and Ferguson in play, he doesn't have much of a chance.
 
Roberts is a decent chance of playing for NSW imo. He is a game breaker and he'll be considered even if it is on the wing.
