NRL General Discussion Thread

Also, listening between the lines, Holbrook was very careful how he worded things when asked about Coates and Staggs and basically admitted the agents have asked them if they are interested in them. Basically admitted they are looking at 3 or 4 Broncos and are expecting to get at least one.

Sounded more like it was high level talks. After getting pushed he effectively said "the player agents will come and ask if you're interested and at that point you start negotiating"

It didn't seem like the titans reached out to the agent and indicated they were interested, rather the agent came to them

It's pretty well known that Staggs, Coates, etc. want to test their value on the market. GC is the closest in proximity to the Broncos so relocating their vs Sydney may be more viable for players... if the player agent can get some interest or a competitive offer from GC they can take it back to Brisbane and say match it.

I doubt GC can match us on Staggs and we've just upped the offer to Piakura... GC do need a 2nd rower with Proctor basically out the door, but they have Fermor who impressed last year (ie. a known commodity in their ranks). That would leave Coates, but I think the value floated for Coates is excessive (think it was $550k) and seems an unnecessary luxury buy when their priority is a hooker and also potentially re-signing ATay.

Morgan's shoulder has flared up again for the Cowboys and is out again against the titans. Surely its getting close to medical retirement for the bloke.

Was his contract before or after his shoulder issues?

 

[Wolfie]

They can medically retire him because it
started after he signed his contract.

He is a terrific footballer. Said a couple of years ago we should have targeted him.

What is the record margin of all time? If we lose to the Dogs this week, I fear we may give it a nudge

Melbourne will expect an easy game. We'll expect hell. We will be competitive for the whole first half. Bellamy will be incandescent with rage at halftime, Melbourne will come out fired up BUT we won't stop competing and there'll be no cricket score, no capitulation, no surrender. That will be the indelible memory KW will stamp on our minds.

And that will be the turning point...the making (or re-making) of this fine and proud club :)

Imagine how amazing it would be if we won this one and then beat Melbourne. They'd be sitting 1-3 after four rounds!
