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

[upthebroncs]

Christian Hazard then?

 

[lynx000]

Even if it is to cover a Boyd retirement, it’s Kahu and he was just as bad last year. The fucking Cowboys didn’t even want him. How can you spin it that it’s a good thing that we are going to have a player that the Cowboys didn’t even want?

I think we need to verify which version is correct, because some say that the Cows offered him a contract which he rejected, others say they did not.

 

[BroncsFan]

Is there any confirmation of how much we were paying while he was at the cows?

The part that pisses me off was the negotiated deal. Who in their right mind gives a player the option to return if they cant make it with another team following their season?! Out of any player who has been injury prone, it would unfortunate for Kahu - and it has, that his shoulder has effectively ended his time at the cows but legally can come walking back to us.

**** me. Someone potato at HQ doesnt know how to negotiate business. Another busted player to repair before pre season. Just as we were getting ontop of things we are obligated with another 400k. It would be a sick turn of events if this costs us Fifi or a half.

I would say the only reasoning we let him go to the cows was in the hope he would be able to secure a deal for 2020.

He wasn't going to be playing in first grade for us last season so he would've taken up the option anyway... our only chance was to let him go somewhere hope he put himself in the shop window and managed to get himself a new deal for 2020 to wipe the slate clean.

Instead it's just another shit house overpriced and too long deal to go along with just about every one else at the top of the salary tree in this fucking club

The whole joint needs a cleanout, from top to bottom. The stench of rot is thicker in the air than ever, and White can **** right off with this "one more year to feather the nest then I'm outta here" bullshit, he's doing what Boyd and Kahu are doing, cutting and running.

Maybe that's a good sign all things considered, the rats are finally being scared out with the broom. We're gonna have to wear a few seasons worth of shoveling shit to get there, but it has to be done. When the boil starts to fester, you lance the **** then heal up and get the **** on with it. The recruitment division and roster management in particular need a complete overhaul. The disaster that the last 10 years have been can never happen again.

 

[Waynesaurus]

OMG...................This year has truly been bizarre.

 

[Marty Deutschmann]

Ok guys.... Let's stop and think for a minute......

Things we know:

Kahu is on our roster again for 2020.

Things we don't know:

1. We can't be sure how much we were paying for his contract to play at the cowboys, so if it was even anything, I'd argue we're better off paying the extra 200k to have him play for us instead of them, especially given no more Boyd - this can only be a good thing to keep him out of the team.

2. Don't know if he was offered a contract there (cows) for sure or not.

3. If this signing means Boyd will retire tomorrow

4. If we're actually out of pocket at all from the Gillett money as stated before by @Foordy

5. Who signed off on this deal and if it's mostly because of his original contract terms as to why we had to take him back - sounds like it is more this and not a new contract

 

[tommy]

lol at posters trying to spin this as a positive. It's a step backwards, plain and simple.

 

[broncsgoat]

Yeah white should just cut and run, he’s not going to turn the joint around in the next year so just beat it

You lost me at the things we know. He isn’t good enough to play for us anymore. He’s not better than Boyd in any backline position and he’s eating up salary cap that we desperately need. Farnworth, Coates and Perese have the backline covered if injuries occur. We don’t need Jordan Kahu to cover any position.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

@Marty Deutschmann You will get answers to none of those questions. The media aren't even talking about this.

Typical seeing what you wanna see to fit your narrative... Just saying we may not of had a choice in this after his initial release

 

[Battler]

That's all far too logical for this board.

I think everyone will go with angry mob instead

Except winners like the rorters pay blokes like Morris minimum wage to perform that role. The rorters had Morris and Hall on, combined, the same amount as we’re paying Kahu, and they’re both twice as good as he is.

Your narrative doesn’t sound any better than mine, mate. Either way we are losing here. And what’s worse is we are getting bent over by the Cowboys

 

[Wolfie]

Christian Hazard then?

He needs a big year after he has wasted a couple of years since he left the phins. Great 14 i think he will be.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Anyone else also miffed that this news happens to break on a Friday

 

[tommy]

Actually more than anything, this has me pondering that there's worse to come this off-season. There is a cherry on top moment waiting to happen, the final straw for some. I'll bet it's Fifita.

 

[Waynesaurus]

If worse case scenario happens and we lose Fifita, as bad as it would be, there is still an upside and that is his cash that we have set aside will be available to spend on other priorities.
