And now are you glad we have signed Ben Hunt ?

[Minh]

I hope that Bennett does not come begging for Hunt now that Milford is injured.....it's a toxic situation as others alluded to....

 

[Minh]

It really doesn't surprise at all. From all accounts, he is consummate professional and is effectively a fall guy for a couple of poor team performances. We will see how deep Bennett's pettiness is when he names his team on Tuesday. Wouldn't be surprised to see Bunji named as replacement for Milford.

I hope its Benji....without Hunt they wont challenge for the premiership this year.....

If it is a toxic situation it won't be Uncle Waynes fault. Just ask Uncle Wayne

Don't forget we are in origin times so broncos start getting saturdays during this time so that the players get more rest. Just check after every origin week they'll rip a Saturday as usual. The normal thurs/fri week to week will be back after origin 3.

Yeah Ive noticed that as well mate......the NRL should stop using the word DRAW and call it FAVOURED ALLOCATION

To be totally honest Minh I dont think their GF bound.....being saying that since the early rounds.....theres to many flaws in their game.....and given they have mainly 7/8 day turn arounds and play in front of 30,000 plus home crowds, they have struggled imo to win a lot of their games thus far

It needs to be remembered that we signed Hunt when we were still considered a basket case, signing him put some spark back in the place and I think helps with recruitment. Would have been a weight off Widdop's shoulders knowing a good organising half is on the way. There are only a small handful of good organising halves in the comp - Pearce, Cronk, Thurston, A Reynolds, Cleary, A Taylor and they are all locked up.

You are exactly right, so let's stop ranting and raving about Hunt's salary and let the poor barstard do what he does best, play football and next year it will be for us. Enough of Ben Hunt salary bullshit let it die a natural death.

I keep saying Hunt is a gun - will be in the top 2 no. 7 next year and beyond! Watch!!

Speaking of the Broncos.....the rumour is circulating that Jack Bird regrets signing with them for 2018 and supposedly asked for a means to renege. I think Jack maybe screwed by a contract he signed!

Any more info on that?

 

[Coffs dragon]

Leaked by Buzz Slothfield and it's on the Sharks fan forum site. Apparently he's had a change in heart, but is legally locked into a Broncos contract.
Always thought it was strange as the Broncos have never released anything to the media concerning his signing.....only the Sharks saying he's leaving them.

 

[Rocket Rod]

Ok let's start another Jack Bird thread

No need as that bloke can somehow morphe into any thread through a combination of stupidity & poor management.

 

[Forster Dragon]

Forget Bird

 

[possm]

Has Bird spoken to the Dragons and asked for the fullback position?

Possm as long as you don't start blaming Millward and McGregor for not getting Bird while he is contracted to the Broncos.

For me I don't know if I'd want him back.

You can almost bet on them getting the blame. Would be fairly short odds I would imagine.

 

[Dragons 09]

Has Bird spoken to the Dragons and asked for the fullback position?

If he did, i hope they just laughed at him and went about their business.

 

[ALSGI]

I see Hunt is named as 17 this week with Kodi at 7 and Bunji at 6.
Hopefully he'll be well rested for the Dragons next year.

 

[Bests Golden Boots]

Bennet is just playing silly buggers cause he signed with us, he's a vindictive bastard.
Remember when he left the Dragons and said he wouldn't take players with him?
