Titans sign former Bronco
June 1, 2006

THE Gold Coast Titans has confirmed the signing of former international back-rower Brad Meyers on a two-year deal for its inaugural 2007 NRL season.

Meyers, 26, has spent two years playing with world club champion Bradford in the English Super League and becomes the Titans's 11th recruitment.

The former Brisbane Bronco made his debut for Queensland and Australia in 2001, but his form dipped over the next three seasons and he tried his luck in England.

had to bring in some do-nuts eventually!

of wait... peterson!

 

[Mr Saab]

I hope he learned something at Bradford

 

[Kingytek]

As I've said before, Im keen for Billy J to get his hands on him and do to Brad what he did to Carl Webb. Then we'll see how he goes!!!!

 

[Dakink]

From reports he has seemed to have rediscovered his ability, I think he was a punt worth taking at the right price.

 

[Davester]

So the Gold Coast side at the moment looks like this for 2007...

1. Richard Mathers
2. Matthew Peterson
3.
4.
5. Brian Carney

7. Scott Prince

i hope for his sake he's improved....if he plays the way he did when he left i'll vote him worst buy of the year now

 

[Pierced Soul]

you could take leon bott and scott minto for the outside back positions

 

[Mr Saab]

As I've said before, Im keen for Billy J to get his hands on him and do to Brad what he did to Carl Webb. Then we'll see how he goes!!!!

Carl Webb was fine at the Broncos. He just had an attitude problem. It was nothing that Billy Johnstone did to him that influenced his 2005 season.
He needs a rocket up his butt now though as he is playing very avg (if it isnt an injury problem like his groin)

Mr Saab, you are correct.
What I guess I was trying to say was the change did Carl good. I guess it was a combination of things, I do know that Billy worked closely with Carl to get him ready for the 2005 season and that what Im saying in regards to Brad.

I see the potential in Brad because we have all seen what he is capable of when at his best, I just hope the Titan staff can bring that back out in him...

 

[Mr Saab]

Well you are correct there, a change is sometimes very good for a player.
Hodges at the chooks was angry and frustrated 2003/4 and then last yr and this yr he has been on fire.
Meyers was playing very well in 2001 and really had a great series in that origin series. He copped an elbow to the head in a test match vs NZ and that seemed to be the end of him.
I would love for him to prove his critics wrong (and there are ALOT of them) who say he doesnt have it anymore.

 

[Eelectrica]

Hopefully Myers can rediscover the form that saw him picked for Australia, if so the team is coming together nicely.
Looking forward to cheering them on next year

He's not known as "Big Red "for nothing
