Which players do we have coming off contract this season?

Anyone else think Bruno is going to be after Watmough?

I remember the last time I was posting on these boards 18 months ago everyone was talking about signing Watmough - good to see some things never change...

Ok then...i just remember reading an article a few months back about Bruno wanting to sign two big names for next season.

 

[Raw Boned Youngster]

When Bruno talks about signing big names, he usually snares players with hyphened names.
Bruno is an accountant, not a visionary.

BRISBANE continues to bat its eyelids at Petero Civoniceva. Civoniceva, now the captain of Penrith, admits he is tempted by the chance to finish his career where it started more than a decade ago _ at the Broncos.

It seems a match made in heaven.

"He's the type of guy we would love to have back at the club," Broncos football manager Peter Nolan said yesterday.

Too old.

 

[Charmamba]

Wait and see how the young guys go this year. But i dont think we need him.

 

[ningnangnong]

I don't care how old he is, he gets the job done.

Would be extremely beneficial for our younger forwards if we signed him.

his dad works at a bottle-o at redcliffe and when i went down to get some booze a few months ago he said peteros coming back. he was almost in tears saying it cant wait for his son to come back.

now thats not saying hes coming back for the broncos. but just that he is finishing with penrith (supposedly) and coming back to brisbane.

Since Petero has left people have been saying that constantly. TBH I think Civo will see out his career down south.

come back petch!

Article in the paper today where Corey Parker says he's pretty keen to play out his career at the Broncos.

 

[shaneomac]

that will be good news to me. i like him as a plyer i know they all have their critics but to me if there is a break or hole in defence he always seems to pop up and be the person to close it or attempt to cover someone elses mistake. every team needs one of those even if he isnt the best ball playing lock.

Yea there was one in the second half of last year about that too. He basically said he wanted to be a one club man, he has mad respect for the club and he would love to be captain when Locky goes. I didn't see the new one though.

Parker seems like a really good bloke and I hope he stays a one club man.

 

[Charmamba]

The lock needs just seven more matches to notch 200 NRL appearances.

He will be 29 when his contract expires at the end of next year and if the former Logan junior has his way he will sign another deal to become a one-club player.

"Everyone gets opportunities to go elsewhere but to be able to live in Brisbane and work for such a great organisation is an honour. I don't see myself anywhere else," Parker said.

"I'd be lying if I said I've never (considered a move). It's part of the industry.

"But Brisbane's always come first. Until the day it's not I won't be exploring any other club."

Man I love Parker. Hope he has another great year.

So instead of giving a young bloke some game time, so he can learn these skills, lets not believe, give him the chance to impress, and learn, and have an old 30+ year old bloke hobbling around.

Sounds like a great plan for the future to me.

i dont think corey parker is hobbling around. i think he is still playing great football just more in a defencive aspect and not so much a ball playing attack focused sense.

you are more than welcome to have an opion that you would like a team without corey parker, lockyer, hodges and kenny who are all approximately the same age as corey or older. But i think all of those mentioned players still are playing well enough to warrant selction and bring something to every game that is beneficial to the broncos.
