I expect us to win at least one before 2026. Unless we get decimated by injuries, we should expect to win at least one.

Think big. 3 in a row!
Yeah, as long as it only gives after we have won 3 comps in a row.
They have lost a lot of talent the last few years and have come through it pretty well. Lets see how they finish this year before we put the nail in their coffin. They definitely seem to have come back to the pack a bit more this year, but are also dealing with a few injuries.
Losses -
Api
Burton
Tamou
Capewell
Hopgood
Kikau
This Year -
Crighton
Cogger
Leniu
JFH next year.
If we can win a comp with Haas, Walsh, Maam, Reyno all on decent money, then it'll be worth it.
I wish we were able to get Hosking back for this year, I wonder if we tried.

We did try according to reports but even so, he might be gone for the season anyway.

Yep for sure he had a few unusual errors last night but his carries were better than I have ever seen them.

Hunt is going to have a blinder next week if he survives, that's two weeks in a row I've been negative on him.

I doubt it tbh. He could have signed on similar money to Carrigan if he really wanted and let some others get a bit more. Not that i blame him for this either, but i think he and his management are all about themselves getting as much as they can, not thinking of whats best for the team in financial terms.

probably could have but i think he has a few more ppl counting on his support than carrigan has so was always less likely to take less money,now he has his big pay day be nice to see him take less if we are humming along nicely at that time

He does have people relying on him, but i still think he and his team are only out for as much as they can get. I dont think they give a shit really if it has an effect on the Broncos keeping other players.

id be curious to know the high end of offers around for him at the time of his last contract

I'd be guessing, but i reckon he wasnt getting what he needed to leave the Broncos. I do think he had higher offers than ours, but the upheaval in his life at that moment in time probably wasnt worth it to him.

Big fan of willison and tekura so far but I think people are forgetting just how good payne haas is.
This is a bloke who has won 5 poty in a row at our club... in 6 years of first grade with the 1st year injury effected. His 1st poty was when he was 2 years younger then willison is now. He's a generational player.
Having said that... I do think we could keep any 2/3 of haas, Te kura and willison and still be premiership contenders if the latter 2 continue their development. I also think if it's a choice between them 2 or just haas, we go them 2, again if they continue the same trajectory they have been.
So whilst I agree it should and could be an option, there's SHITLOADS of development and consistency to go until they decrease haas' worth to our team.

I expected us to get over the loss of farnworth, paliasia and flegler by the end of the season but seriously 2 or 3 more games from jensen, cobbo and willison like they have, with continued development of te kura we will actually be a stronger team by mid year. Insane and the credit has to go to the coaching staff as much as the talent itself.
