Player Movements and Rumours 2012

[Bucking Beads]

So we have signed, Joe Bond, Jake Granville, Chris Mclean and Luke Capewell got another year. All quality recruits who will lead the Broncos to their next premiership.

Hey, dont get picky.

All players we would have signed regardless of whether we recruited talent or not.

Time to change the record.

Agreed. In fact it's time to cheer up, things aren't as bad as most are making out. The doom and gloom stuff is getting boring

 

[Browny]

I keep getting this feeling that the club will announce a big signing during the off season

Yeah I hear ya. Plenty of QLD cup players to choose from as well

I actually think your right. I had this same feeling before the inglis and falou signings. And I reckon it will happen like the Kearney signing did, just out of the blue. I reckon we won't hear any rumours or anything, just wake up one morning to the news _____ ________ has signed with the Brisbane broncos

That's what I'm thinking will happen too.
Here's hoping it's either Thurston or SJ :D

Don't know who that could possibly be given seemingly everyone worth pursuing is off the market atm ... Its to the point now where I hope the broncos just sit tight for 2013 because it appears that half the NRL is off contract at the end of next season, so that would present much better opportunities for the broncos to get their recruitment spot on.

Is it still a case with the salary cap where what you don't spend in one year is allowed to be used the following year?

 

[Dexter]

Not sure it ever was.

 

[simmo77]

I remember hearing that Brian smith used to do it at clubs he would go to. Sack players and don't resign many and then in a year go on a buying spree with salary cap leftovers from the previous year. I could be delusional though #fullstop#

Daly Cherry-Evans was having lunch with Andrew Gee this week #ellipsis#

Gee was probably reassuring him that Manly needs him far more than the Broncos do and that his future lay at brookvale ... :handshake:

Infact, 'Gee Gee' probably cut the meeting short so he could dot the i's and cross the t's on the Jake Granville coup :001_tt2:

 

[Bucking Beads]

Our big signing was Stephen Kearney. How exciting. :crying:

 

[simmo77]

So which team are you gonna start supporting next year instead of the broncs Beads???

No but you can front-end and back-end contracts, the Dragons were pretty crafty with this when Gasnier retired before his full amount counted towards the cap.

 

[Kimlo]

Yeah it is. You can pay the more trusted players in the squad a major portion of their salary this year and as such have more salary cap space in the following years after that. E.G. We signed Hodges for $1m over 3 years, we pay him 2 years worth next year and the follow two years half a years salary each year effectively freeing up a few hundred k to spend elsewhere.
