Rumours and Stuff

[Cloeel]

I agree with him. Tuilagi has been the best in a poor side. He’s actually in career best form.

Agreed. I don't get the Tuilagi hate. If the price is right id be extending him

Hi MON.

 

[EppingEel]

I blame all of the injuries and the poor footy on the "Swarm" BS.

He is lazy as hell and always gets caught in the ruck . Plus a massive dumb merkin. The sooner we get rid of him the better.

we got too many of theses guys, theyre good but theyre not that good, like; Kelma, hopgood, penisini, simonson,
JDB, Paulo etc

 

[King-Gutho94]

He is in career best form apparently, sums up how shit this bloke really is.

Yep the bar wasn't that high.

I only remember 2 performances from him before this year for us that stand out.

His game in the centres against Penrith when BA was coaching where he left him out there for 75 mins clueless laterally and defensively.

Then last year in Melbourne where he didnt want to tackle.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Why would he need to do that??? He's in career best form apparently..........

His current form is likely an outlier. Smarter merkins than you expect him to revert to mean, any week now but he’s been one of our best this year. If not him then who? And if he’s not in career best form, when has he played better? Come on smartarse. If you can’t admit you’re trolling up the wrong tree, just post a gif and be on your way.

 

[Avenger]

Does Su’A defend of the edge better than Kelma?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Wish they put this on the shelf until we actually started being a good team....

They are going to bring out the 86 side and embarrass them Sunday 4pm...

I always find the eighties stuff depressing. Wish we could go back to the days when a bag full of pokies cash could make a difference in the player market. Do merkins even use cash in poker machines in 2026?

That’s because you’re smart like me.

a warm body defends better than kelma

He doesn’t miss many tackles. His problem is not filling the gaps.

 

[Wizardssleeve]

Ben Hunt to play on next year.

Tom Duffy in talks to extend.

Yep, Broncos have finally watched Pezet play and have decided for a Plan B and C for next year.

I like the cut of Ryles’s jib. Here we are all scratching our heads as to why he helped his mate Anasta out by signing this complete spud under the guise of developing him next to Moses . Where in reality Ryles pulls off the ultimate manoeuvre by taking the Storms up and coming half, totally converts him into a park player and then delivers him to The Broncos on a huge contract.
It’s up there with the best stitch ups the games ever seen.

Yes , How else would they clean it ?

cant miss the tackles you dont attempt

I couldn't care less if he is or isn't, it just proves my point even more. If he's been one of best(which is utter nonsense) is the reason we are coming second last and are almost the worst defensive team of all time.

He's lazy, stupid and a mistake waiting to happen. He had one good game against the Donkey's against Ma'am who is one of the biggest turnstyles in RL. He's been utter shitful since then. Is that a big enough sample size to prove he's been in career best form Stats Boy??

You get more embarrassing by the day, your continue insistence to fellate all things this club are laughable. Glug glug glug!!

is there room for another edge?

Sua, Williams, Kautoga, Guymer, Latu, JFI all top 30 next year

The only edge he belongs on is at a pier.

 

[Jez]

Su'a is a clear upgrade on Kelma.
We will see what interest Kelma gets on the open market, but we do seem to have a few options for backups next year on the edge so I would not be offering him very much to stay as a second choice.

We are desperately short at prop in 2027 in my opinion.
If we chose to retain Junior Paulo it would be because we are so short on NRL experienced middles.

 

[Delboy]

Paulo has 2 worths

1. As a mentor to the islander players and possibly someone they can confide in
2. As a player coming to the end of his career in a faster game, but used sparingly in shorter spells

If anyone in the club believes he’s worth more than $200k, then they are dreaming, it’s a decent income and not sure we would see a bidding war. Time for the club to act like they are the Roosters at retention time , in other words get serious about direction and competitiveness.
