Well, Superleague refs dont really tolerate the kind of language and chat towards them we see over here. Might not have been that bad.

Buzz - "Broncos recruit Marty Taupau is a huge admirer of his halfback Adam Reynolds. “His football IQ is far beyond anyone I know,” Taupau says. This has been seen as a sneaky crack at his former teammate and skipper Daly Cherry Evans at Manly."
Or maybe Taupau is just being honest, and calling it as he sees it.
Buzz again - "Which new recruit at a QLD-based NRL club slept in and missed training recently. His lack of discipline is one reason why his previous coach was more than happy to release him."
Well I hope the media crucify said player .. just like they did to Cobbs.

If it was a player that got released, its more than likely somebody like Hammer or Tesi i reckon.

yep the word "release" is the key word there.
so which of the new recruits for a QLD club was released
I don't think the Titans or Cowboys have signed anyone that was released ... so that leave Walsh for us; Tesi, Brenko and Tesi (possibly Isaako) for the Phins.

Might explain why Tesi was a late scratching from the first game after originally being named at centre

That's the kind of thinking that would lead to a broncos related article... dolphins... not so much

So the guy who slagged them off a couple months ago
That alone would be a massive news story if it were the Broncos and would put huge pressure on them straight away.
But NSWRL with Bunji and Shenius at the helm will probs see them get a free pass and a redemption arc storyline "the turnaround Shenius must've done from where Api was a few months ago must've been massive"

Sharkies are up to something
.....again.
They weren't doing drugs or cheating the cap in 2016.

They actually were cheating the cap in 2016 by setting up a company for the express purpose to hand out third party payments to players. However, 2016 happened to be the one year they didn't exceed the cap with those payments.
Every other season from 2013-17 they were.
They were fined $750,000 and had a $707,000 penalty on their salary cap which they were allowed to spread across two seasons. So $353,000 a season or one bad signing.
Meanwhile Brisbane had a $7,000,000 over four seasons penalty when they signed Anthony Milford and Jack Bird in 2017.

The clubs always seem so desperate when it comes to signing coaches, if you have a good system and winning culture in place then coaches will want to stay with you anyway.

Pretty odd tbh. I rate Fitz but if you've got him locked up until 2025 anyway, why extend?
