Article in the CM that lists the current players we're interested in...

Karmichael Hunt
Israel Folau
Darius Boyd
Dave Taylor
Cooper Cronk

Also the Quade Cooper rumour is always around.

Denan Kemp also sounds extremely likely to leave to go play with the Rebels. I believe he just had a medical examination.

 

[Locky24]

I can't see us affording all those players.

Only one I can see us getting would be boyd.

 

[GoTheBroncs]

Hunt or Boyd would be a bit risky as we would have to make a 5/8 out of them somehow, given that Hoffman has the fullback role.

Cronk would be great as he is a ready-to-go halfback. Wallace or Norman to 5/8.

Taylor would be a bonus but we are already blessed with some good back rowers.

Kemp has already signed. He was in Melbourne on Saturday hence why he wasn't playing. Contrary to the supposed lack of interest reported by Griffin, they are interested in Cooper and they also want Tallis back on the coaching staff.

DENAN Kemp will stay firmly in the Broncos’ fold after a surprising turn of events with Super Rugby club the Melbourne Rebels.

Cheers for that Locky24. Had not yet seen that article.

:lol::lol::lol:Some of his possessions were in transit on the way to Melbourne. Guess he'll have to pay for them to come back now.

Hodges in negotiations for a new 3 year deal worth $350K a season.

I'm unsure whether or not I'm happy.

 

[beads6]

I am quite happy for us to sign Hodges but I feel like 350k a season is about 100k too much for him given the circumstances and his injury history. We do need him at our club though.

 

[AuDragon]

Corey Parker Bronco for life!
Glad he'll be there for another 3 years at least...

 

[Smiley]

Excellent news!!!!!!!!

His loyalty to the club should be rewarded next year with the captaincy.

Does anyone know if there are any truth to the following rumours put on this website today?

http://www.nrl.com/lone-scout-qa-round-15/tabid/10874/newsid/63367/default.aspx

- Matt King (remember him from the Storm?) is apparently talking to Broncos. The Broncos are also after Robert Lui.

- Jon Green and Adam Cuthbertson will follow super coach Wayne Bennett to the Knights, and join Nick Kenny there.

I thought the Matt King and Robert Lui rumours were both pretty old...???

 

[IBA]

Haha Matt King and Justin Hodges next to each other in a backline. They hate each other... On the field, on opposite teams atleast. Perhaps they're different of the field.

No thanks to Lui, been watching him since the rumours started. Not bad, but no thanks. Not close to Wallace and if we're buying a 5/8 they need to be a lot better than that.

And Knights can have Kenny. No venom in his hits/runs.

 

[GoTheBroncs]

Yeah agree with you there IBA.

Just wanted to know if anyone knew if they were true/likely...

Haven't heard anything about the King one. God help us if we sign him. My most hated player ever.

Heard about the Kenny rumor the other day. He is a great clubman, but is only good enough to be a depth option these days. Wouldn't care if he left but as a depth option he is fine.

The Lui rumour is pretty old and has been floating around for a bit but about a week ago in some league magazine it mentioned the broncos had pretty much signed a tigers back, so it could be him.
