Rumours and Stuff

Does that mean that our premiership window is closed already ?

Oh well it was fun while it lasted.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

But I just got my hopes up!

What were you thinking ffs

Massive plodder. No thanks.

May as well ask Mannah to come back

If we provide a source it's just someone else's opinion. Sometimes the opinion matches the facts but most of the time we have no way of knowing. The difference is obvious enough that only a smartarse would run around saying "That's just your opinion!"

Or someone who loves The Dude.

 

[T-Boon]

Well plenty of merkins think the best way to get more out of a good winger is to move him to fullback. It's only natural a desperate club would try it. We did it with Hayne for years. Even in 2018 we were desperate enough to give him a couple of games at fullback.

You are being fasheshesh right?

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Brett Morris (or was it Josh) was a plodder too, back in 2018 when we were interested in him..............

I never said it was a fact. If I post anything you can assume it's my opinion. Just like anything you post is yours.

lol, you've just done it again, now you saying that you know what I think

f**k me you are beyond help,

He is affectionately known by dogs fans as 2 yard tolman..
I would much rather promote 3 young blokes than sign Tolman...we dont need to be that club anymore. Moonface scarred us with the geriatrics he signed and set us back for years

 

[T.S Quint]

I don’t want Tolman, but I’d say we will have to hit the market for a middle forward or two towards the end of the year. Our young juniors we are hoping to make the step up may still be a little too young next year. They are still eligible for Flegg this year, aren’t they?

Massive news coming out of Broncos via Fox. TPJ gone to the integrity unit re unpaid 3rd party payments that were not registered with the NRL. He is blowing the whistle On their dodgy deals!
Kent saying how he turned down warriors for 200k a year less at Broncos.
They are opening saying it’s going to be proven how they unfairly (or cheat) to get better talent staying via dodgy payments.
Broncos dollars!!

Yes they are. And the way we usually debut forwards, maybe a minute in their first outing if they're lucky, then slowly increasing. We'll need someone to be in reserve grade as cover.

I can't see us running with 3 middle forwards on the bench next year like we have been, rather increasing the minutes Marata and Oregon play. We may even have an edge player on the bench and move Lane into the middle like we did in 2019?

No I said I assume your meaning based on what you post. You're never too old to learn to read.

That's my opinion again. You might actually be too old to learn.

Bronco dollars could now = Bronco spoons.

So who's gonna leave the fold this time to avoid having to answer questions about the Donkey's salary cap matters

Kearney had a aging squad, we don’t.
it’s not about signing him as a definite top 17 player or to prevent a junior playing (BA has shown he is willing to pick a rookie to replace a senior player if they are better, for example Kafusi / Stefo).

it’s about replacing the middle experience we are losing this year, Peni / Evans / Gower........we already Hughes joining the squad and there is a chance Duggan / Hollis could pick up development contracts, that’s potentially 3 rookie middles already in the squad. How many more rookies do we need?

Yes, Tolman isn’t a super star and is past his best, but he appears to be a good leader and is still averaging 130 m / 39 tackles a week. But it really comes to price. If we was willing to accept a cheap deal (like $150k), I reckon he wouId be a great addition to the squad for a year.

Got to remember our top 13 is signed and we are ulikely to be able to pay good money for new players. The key to keeping this squad competitive for the next few years is look for those “cheapie” signings , along with junior development (already doing this).

Not sure if he is 20 or 19 this year, think 20.
