The fact that we are not showing as much interest as previously could possibly mean that Griffin is more than happy with the aquitsition of Poasa Faamuasiili ?
Or he has someone else in mind ;-)

Not necessarily Gazza..dont forget we got another spot to fill before March..then another 1 by June 30..and that is including if JDB and Saab are with us in 21The fact that we are not showing as much interest as previously could possibly mean that Griffin is more than happy with the aquitsition of Poasa Faamuasiili ?

New front-runner emerges for signature of Brisbane Broncos enforcer Joe Ofahengaue

Brisbane Broncos enforcer Joe Ofahengaue reportedly won't be at the club in 2021 - and there looks to be a new front-runner for his signature.
The 25-year old had an indifferent year at the struggling club, and was told by incoming coach Kevin Walters that he was free to look elsewhere for next season.
Originally it was the St George Illawarra Dragons who showed an interest, and it looked as though he would sign with the Red V under Anthony Griffin.
But according to senior reporter Brent Read on Triple M Radio on Friday night, another Sydney-based club are looking to sign the Broncos prop.
"We’ve all seen the Josh Aloiai situation – it’s an interesting one. The Tigers have got some options on the table. Curtis Sironen is in the mix, he has been discussed, and Joe Ofahengaue is doing the rounds again," he said.
"He was being discussed earlier in the year, and Joe is back doing the rounds. He spoke to the Tigers this week, and there is an interest there.
"Josh Aloiai will leave, they want to get it resolved by November 30 and they are exploring options everywhere."
Understand Tigers officials were impressed with Joe Ofahengaue during talks this week. They want to have the Josh Aloiai matter settled by Nov 30. Ofahengaue would provide a replacement and potential upgrade. His departure would also allow Broncos to possibly sign John Asiata

The other interesting thing to note is that this week, the former QLD Maroons forward unfollowed the Broncos on Instagram and followed the Tigers. Weird, but it is 2020, and that's a good indication.
As for the Dragons - their interest has dissipated in recent weeks, and it looks unlikely now that he will end up in Wollongong.
"There was some interest from the Dragons – the Dragons still have an interest, but I don’t think it is as strong as it was.
“When Kevvy got there, they needed to create some salary cap space. Joe was told to have a look around. There was some initial interest from the Dragons, but they weren’t able to nut out a deal with Brisbane.
"This week it has heated up again, and I don’t think Joe Ofahengaue will be in Brisbane next year. I don’t know where he will be, I think it will be the Tigers because the Dragons are pretty firm it won’t happen.
"It just depends on what Brisbane are willing to chip in."

I'm not unhappy with these developments.
Imo, he is not what we need...
Agreed. For what it’s worth I read into that we’re holding firm on wanting Broncs to chip in. Loving the consistency in the message if true.Christian Welch was a massive miss.
This guy has become one of the best middle forwards in the business and has a great offload.
Apparently a great guy as well off the field.

Cue possm...Where are you mate ?No one has mentioned TPJ for 5 mins.
Friz,host,Sims gone-Jdb?
Only roosters forward to replace.
Surely can't rely on likes of mez and pack of last year.
Most on the market are backs which we don't look like signing any..
This is how it stands;
Props: Vaughan, Kerr, Fa’amausili, Ellis, Blacker & Lawrie
Hooker: McInnes, Brittian & Hunt
2nd Row T Sims, Ford & Fuimaono
Lock: Bird, Merrin & JdB
Props we are ok but the backrow is very thin. If JdB doesn’t get off or if Sims picks up another injury we are in trouble.
Hook has publicly stated he wants to add a couple more pieces. But who? Frizell might be past his best but he’s still a SOO player.
I will be surprised if Griffin plays Hunt at Hooker.......he will more than likely be our starting halfback.

I agree, but Clune might have something to say about that. Also given our lack of depth McInnes might have to play lock out of necessity.
On the positive side you’d expect Lomax, Kerr & McInnes to come back from origin camp better players
Correct re Clune...i.M.H.O would replace Norman... McInnes and Brittian may be the Main Hookers...
Coach has identified our pack as the weakest link...McGregor was clueless....Let's see what Hunt can do behind a dominant pack with a coach who can actually set proper game plans.
