Don't play with my heart, ning.

Great news !!!
He'll be so good for our younger guys like Mcguire, Dodds and Hala.... they'll learn heaps from the best in the business :)

I hope they try and keep him on in a coaching type role after his playing career finishes too

Nah, Civ's coming back Coxy, it's all over everywhere.

Will be great to have him around the club post-Lockyer. I thought he was on his last legs a few seasons ago but his performances haven't dropped at all, somehow he still dominates in Origin.

 

[Coxy]

Such a great move! Hannant, Petero, Thaiday in the pack will take SO much pressure off Wallace and (insert halves partner here).

Just had a look on Fox sports website, nothing there.

This better not be a gee-up!!!

 

[mrslong]

Please be true. PLEASE BE TRUE.

I don't know if I have any excitement left after the Luke Capewell signing yesterday...

 

[Big Pete]

Seriously this news just made my day. :) One of my all-time favourites is returning home. :D

Awesome news, thanks ning!

Hannant, McCullough, Civoniceva, Glenn, Thaiday, Parker. Reserves: Te'o, Gillett, Anderson, McGuire, Dodds, Lui, Hala. Epic pack. Absolutely epic.

Bloody outstanding pack. Imagine if Lockyer was going around one more year in the halves running behind that pack, we'd be specials for the Premiership!

 

[Big Pete]

Apparently he's come up here to captain the Broncos.

I don't mind that decision, if he stands down from rep. he'll be handy for all our young and up and comers.

2012 just became interesting.

Source for the signing itself not anything on being captain which I heard from a Penrith fan on LU http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport...eturn-to-broncos/story-e6frep5o-1226101820775

He might be tempted! LOLZ

But seriously, it will be such a pressure release for Norman or Hunt, (or even Capewell) as well as Wallace.

Combine that with Hoffman, Yow Yeh, Beale, Reed, Copley and Gagai having the experience of this year behind them, and Hodges playing 5-6 games too! :P

Sorry for dodgy quality...

 

[Bucking Beads]

Well that news has come out of nowhere. Great to have petro back but he will be holding back a young prop for a year.

GOT 'IM! YES!!!! PISS OFF!!! YER OUT!!!!!!!

Worst recruiting/retention decision made in the history of the Broncos, maybe the history of the NRL, was letting Petero go. Welcome home 60c.
