Player Movements & Rumours 2010

[Jeba]

Not if we have to pay him overs to get him. IIRC he is getting about $350k from the Bulldogs, and I doubt he would take a pay cut to play for us, so no thankyou Benny.

 

[Kimlo]

350 is not overs for one of the best props in the game. Props are a very important role in todays game and 350k for a top pro is well worth it.

Sorry Hannant we don't want you back, go to the Titans and suck up half there salary cap you greedy bugger.

I would be fine with no new signings at this point for next yr.

 

[shadow]

as above, sign the current youngsters for 3 years, and we'll be 2012 premiers for sure

That would be stupid. If you have salary cap space you should always use it. Unless we use the money to lock all the good youngins long term although I thought that was already done but I'm sure even longer contracts are good :)

Look, maybe we can get hannant for unders, especially considering last time he showed up in brissy he scored $400k on the scratchies! If's he's happy to come and play for a packet of crisps and a flat bottle of coke, who are we to knock him back!

 

[Nashy]

Bring it on. I'd rather bring him back than old Petero.

THE Warriors face an enormous battle to keep Brent Tate, with the former Broncos centre considering a return to Australia.

His pre-season disrupted by a quadriceps injury, Tate returns to NRL action against the Titans today at Skilled Park after overcoming two serious knee injuries in three seasons.

But just as significant for Tate is his future at the Warriors beyond 2010.

Off-contract at season's end, the 28-year-old says he is happy in New Zealand but will weigh up his options, which could include a return to the Broncos club he served for seven seasons.

The former Queensland and Test flyer has already attracted big-money offers from two Super League clubs.

"My focus has been trying to get my body right but that (coming back to Australia) has been in the back of my head," said Tate, who played just three games for the Warriors last season due to injury.

"I'd be lying if I said it wasn't. At this stage, I need to get some game time and when I do, I'll be weighing up my options but first I need to play some good football.

"I had some great times at the Broncos but I don't want to say too much publicly. Last time my future was played out in the media a lot and it became pretty distracting. I got caught in that trap, so this time I'll worry about football.

"I do feel like I owe the Warriors so I haven't ruled out staying. We haven't had talks yet, I'll get a better gauge of where I stand in the next few months."

Tate's manager George Mimis said the prospect of Tate returning to Red Hill was not improbable.

"Stranger things have happened than Brent going back to the Broncos," he said.

"I'm not sure what the Broncos' plans are but they have an interesting situation with Israel Folau, he has an option in his contract (to quit Brisbane at season's end)."

I'm thinking, that from the bolded statement, that Tate will only comeback (or be offered a contract from us) should Folau decide to leave. Personally I don't think Folau will leave at seasons end, from what Folau has said publicly, he is happy in Brisbane, especially as his family is near by.

 

[Russo]

Surely this thread should now be locked as we really are talking 2011 wishlist. C'mon admins [icon_razz1

 

[Kimlo]

I damn hope Folau stays! If he doesn't though he's been paid heapppsss so we could afford some good players with the money he leaves. However I want him to stay especially if he continues at centre.

 

[The Brizz]

That would be a dog act by Tate to leave considering the Warriors have paid him very good money to sit on the sidelines for nearly 2 full seasons of his time there to just turn around and leave (unless the Warriors tell him to go shopping of course).

 

[Bucking Beads]

No way do we need or should want Tate. We have plenty of awesome young backs who are not inury prone and know how to pass.

 

[nopatience101]

Cant see Folau going to another league team, however fagball is a threat...

 

[gUt]

That cult he's in is the main threat I reckon.

 

[ningnangnong]

Even if Folau was to leave, i definitely do not want us to sign Tate.

 

[GCBRONCO]

We already have Hodges approaching the later years in his career, as good a player Tate was for us his also spent hefty time on the sidelines with injuries which is not something we can afford, when it comes to the backline the Broncos needs to back the youth coming up in the ranks.

 

[Je$ter]

Why is it that any player who was at the Broncos is rumoured to be coming back?

Hannant is the best prop in the game under 30. Once Pet and Price retire the mantle is his. Clubs will be throwing massive coin at him once he comes off contract.

Tate is getting on and is injury prone. Great player, risk massively outweighs reward.
