The Mole reports Isaako for Corey Allen swap imminent

[broncos4life]

Didn’t Allen go down there for a bigger contract? We wouldn’t pay him what he wanted but souffs would?

This will be absolutely diabolical if it comes to fruition

Maybe, maybe not. To be fair, we could sign Ponga and because it was a Seibold decision you would have an issue with it.

That’s the signing we should be aiming for but obviously already given up on it by moving Milf from his best position

Whilst Isaako has been horribly out of form this year, Corey Allan has done nothing even mildly impressive in his time in the NRL. He seems big and slow and just doesn't have the body for a modern fullback where agility is so important.

Isaako has had a lot on. It's his second year of NRL, expecation on him is higher, he's recently had a child and his father is dying. I mean, that would put anyone through the ringer. He appears very popular within the group, and you can't fault his effort to training and those aspects. This year is a write-off for him, but I think he showed enough last year that he is a first grader and I think he will find form next season.

From what i've noticed with players and having children, often the 'loose / badboy' type players become more consistent and better players when they have kids, whilst the hard working ones sometimes go backwards due to a disrupted routine. I think this is usually because those loose/badboy types have virtually no routine, then have a child forced them in to one. Whilst someone like Isaako who from all reports was as professional as they come and always did a lot of extras, now has less time / a disrupted routine.

Time will tell if there is any truth to the rumour, but based on what i've seen, I don't really like it.

What on earth has prompted this move? I strongly hope this is another BS article that's just throwing darts in the dark. I don't reckon Isaako wants to move to SHITney nor his contract would break the bank for us here. FFS, give this guy some break you shameless media grubs. He's going through a lot and deserves some privacy.

What would we get out of this swap? Except for loosing out on possible best goal kicker or if things turn his way for good, he could turn out as a decent fullback. Not sure what is Corey Allan good at? We've better players than him here waiting in line. Don't need him here, don't want him here. Don't want anyone who doesn't want to dug in.

Yeah, i didnt see allen in ISC but i havent been particularly impressed with him in a winning souths team, i struggle to see that he would play better in a struggling broncos team.

Yes Isaako has had an off year and there have been personal issues which young players can struggle with, but he is a hard trainer and think he will come good. If he has to be in lower grades until that happens so be it.

 

[heartly87]

What's Isaako on? I didn't see any claimed contract values online.

The contract length to me was overs. Should have worded that better.

Apart from "15 milf has been mediocre as a half.

Apart from "15 milf has been mediocre as a half.

From about round 16 onward last year he was very good as well.

This is garbage. He has had a lot of inconsistency around him and injury. The guy has been our best for most of his time here.

I agree he's been one of our best, but still mediocre. He has gone backwards in alot of areas since he got here.

 

[holdzy]

He is an elite kicking half, that is for sure. He used to be an elite running half. Juggling both is hard when you've had Kodi and Hunt the majority of the time.

Silly blanket statement mate. He's above average at his best, but hasn't achieved his best due to a few factors, including his own desire and effort at times. I also think Bennett sort of ruined his young prime a little.

 

[Sirlee oldman]

No thanks. I didn’t understand the hype around Allan when he was here and certainly don’t want him back. We have enough young blokes with big heads.
Isaako has been disappointing on the field this year but he’s the type of character you want around the group and he will work his way back to form sooner or later.

 

[Old Mate]

He screams first year player. He's been crud this year.

Yeah he does scream inexperienced, last year he had shown a lot though. If it’s just a case of second year syndrome keep him and see if he comes good.

 

[Foordy]

That’s the signing we should be aiming for but obviously already given up on it by moving Milf from his best position

Actually, we have MOVED Milf TO his best position

 

[john1420]

They have both been bog average this year, the difference between them being that Isaako had a sensational 2018 whilst Corey has achieved nothing.

I'm backing the guy with obvious talent to find form again

 

[heartly87]

I would keep Isaako. Just think the long contract is a bit of a gamble. Hopefully he can kick on.

 

[porouian]

Jamayne is fast enough imo:

Here's another example, doesn't look like he's in top gear here either:
