"We are in the market for a playmaker now," Griffin said.
THE Broncos' chequebook is now open, with the club revealing they are chasing an NRL star following the departure of Corey Norman to Parramatta at the end of the season.
Broncos coach Anthony Griffin told News Limited yesterday the club will scour the NRL for the best playmaker available in 2014.
Likely targets include Cronulla five-eighth Todd Carney, Manly centre Jamie Lyon and Canterbury's young playmaker Josh Reynolds.
However, Norman's decision comes after Johnathan Thurston, Mitchell Pearce and Robbie Farah all re-signed in recent weeks.
Griffin said he would investigate the market immediately with fullbacks and halves topping the hitlist, without being drawn on specific individual targets.
"We are in the market for a playmaker now," Griffin said.
"We prefer to recruit from within but with Corey leaving it will give us an opportunity to look outside.
"Obviously we need to replace him. We will look at our options and that includes going to the market.
"We have some good kids coming through but in the short term we have to look at all options.
"It will be a playmaker. Corey, long-term, was going to move back into the halves and so we are looking for someone who can do that and play fullback."

Thank f**k for that. Cheers for holding off Corey.

^ sounds more and more like the Bogan...
reynolds from the dogs is a good player !They should go hard for Carney or even Lyon, I don't think we should target Reynolds from the dogs.
F_G sounds like he is onto something, but can Dugan actually play in the halves as well as fullback?

If he comes here I don't see why he couldn't be our longterm fullback.
