NEWS Kahu set to return to Broncos after short stint at Cowboys

Interesting really.

It actually could work out, it depends entirely on who is fullback. It seems as though Boyd is not going to be fullback, which suggests Isaako is going to be fullback.

If that is the case and this is in fact a Seibold decision, then it kind of says something about his faith in Herbie and Coates. Despite both of them being talented footballers, neither of them are ready for first grade which would put Kahu on the wing.

Kahu was always a good winger. Good finisher, reliable and for the most part pretty good under the high ball. He also provides an extra kicking option, especially with field goals.

It could work, like Brett Morris with the Roosters, but like I said it depends entirely on certain factors.

IF it does, 400k wouldn't be that bad of a price.

Wow, this is unbelievable.

I always liked Kahu, but when he departed before this season, it was the correct time for us and him. What kind of dumb fucking deal is this, that he can comeback at his will after leaving? Utterly bizarre.

We once set the example for other clubs on how to run things off the field, now we're reaching Knights type levels of amateurishness.

Yeah, I don't know the full story, but gee whiz it doesn't look good.

The truly sad thing is that even the Knights wouldn’t make a deal this bad.
 
Kahu could just be replacing someone like Richie Kennar in the roster.

Designated safe experienced back up player.
It is kind of needed when we have origin players missing and injuries.

I haven’t been keeping up to date with the squad formation in 2020. Is Kennar still around?

Kahu is at least a good bloke. He’s good for the culture. Same reason people want Glenn to stay.

This is the thing for me. I have no issue with Kahu, loved the guy while he was here. Just...how the hell did management make this deal? It's just utterly baffling.

Yeah, I’m mostly mad at the management of our cap over the past.... 10?.... years..

Don't think people would have problems with an experienced back-up player...who was on a back-up player's salary.

I know, the salary is unfortunate.

But those same people were probably pissed off that Kahu left too. They probably fully support the signing of Jack Bird for all I know. I don’t really care.

It could be worse. At least he’s got a history here and always lived up to Broncos standards on and off the field.

If we do let go of Jack Bird before the season starts then this will make a lot more sense.

Don’t get me wrong, this is a backwards step for the club.
 
Odd that fox and nine are not reporting it kind of story they would shoot ropes over.
 
Have we got any inside info as to how much we might have been paying towards his bill at the cows? It might only be another 100 out of our cap to have him on our roster this year.

Was he signed for two years or one at cows?

I thought the whole thing is that we signed him for three years, let him go to cows on the second year where they could just use him and pay his salary that year and have an option for another. They chose not to hold onto him so he reverts back to the broncos contract because it’s the best he can get and he actually likes the broncos.

I haven’t actually had the time to read up on it much. I may be entirely wrong.

Does anyone else feel that we are being played by other clubs? Every player (i.e. ofa, turpin, lodge, TPJ, fifita etc.) we had off contract were reportedly being offered big dollars by other clubs, increasing how much we had to pay (in the interim screwing our cap).

We release players to other clubs with clauses stating they can return if the other club dont want them anymore. Or we release them to other clubs and receive no compensation.

Clubs having no interest in players we are looking to offload.

Melbourne dangling croft as a possibility, but in reality they were never going to incur any of the cost for him to move (because they are run professionally).

We are losing the bronco prestige we once had and look like we are being run by amateurs.

Why do I have a feeling that Lockyer was taking a pay cut because it was in his contract that he’d be on the board when he retires?

How did he get on the board anyway?

Lockyer gets paid virtually nothing to be on the board. Something like $25k a year...
 
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan. I was so upbeat yesterday knowing he would have some cap space to play with, now we add ANOTHER player who shouldn't be in our starting 17 on too much coin.

Goddamit.
