Player Movements & Rumours 2010

[nopatience101]

be a big sacrifice to turn your back on that sort of coin, although in a one team city like brisbane and playing for the Broncos opens up a lot of doors commercially post football. I wouldnt be getting soo confident though, it is a hell of a lot of money.

 

[nopatience101]

the cap will rise by $300k next year and is to be paid for by the NRL's new GF deal.

LAGI Setu has stunned the Broncos with the Brisbane back-rower to officially quit the NRL at season's end to embark on a religious mission.

Holy crap!!!

 

[Jeza23]

Not surprising. I wonder if this is on Izzy's mind too. He has to do his before he is 25. Maybe that is what is contributing to his decision as well as all the big dosh being thrown at him.

source?

if thats true then we should have enough to sign Hannant; re-sign Folau and probably buy another player should we require it.

The initial proposed 50k increase was LOLZ but 300k is significant, not fantastic but good.

Lets be honest, the lesser players won't see a cent of the increase, it will all go towards the upper-tier players. In the Broncos case they could offer the 6 best players at the club an extra 50k, which may prevent them from code hopping. It's a good start but they shouldn't stop there, independent commission, implement cost saving measures and increase the salary cap by another 300-500k for start of next year.

 

[ningnangnong]

300K gives you an extra quality player, or the ability to upgrade a fair few contracts.

Can't complain.

This news about Setu doesn't surprise me, although I'll wait to see it confirmed from someone other than his agent.

Damn... I was just beginning to like him ad actually changed my mind about letting him go.

 

[jarro65]

Maybe he'll come back to us when his mission is complete ?

 

[Mister Wright]

Today's paper suggests North Queensland are in the hunt for Antonio Winterstein. I'd be disappointed, if he left, as I think he has been a real find for us since his debut last year, but we have a bit of depth in the backs and we can't keep everybody.

 

[Raw Boned Youngster]

No surprise, it appears a though most players in the game seek missionary positions, although most don't wait until season's end.

If we lose Winterstein we have the players to replace him on the wing. Whilst I'd prefer to keep him, we can't keep everyone and outside backs we are certainly not lacking in.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I had a feeling we would possibly lose 1 of our wingers this season.
