Broncos Recruitment

[JW]

Andrew Gee's coight must be tighter than Hodgo's hamstrings.

Spend some coin FFS.

We can't get any player from Sydney to sign with us. Oh well ... let's try the Old Dart.

He could follow in the footsteps of Harvey Howard!

The silver tongue of Gee working a treat again ...

Seriously, has Gee Gee done anything worth writing home about in his current role?

 

[Big Pete]

Good.

Didn't want Bailey.

Marshall will probably sign with panthers or another sydney club

Don't think he's worth the coin he'd be asking for. Such a red hot and ice cold player. But wherever he goes I am sure we'll see better form come out if he's happy

I kinda agree - post 25-year-old English props trying Australia for the first time don't have a great record in the NRL.

If they come younger, like the Burgess brothers and Adrian Morley, they usually go OK, but its harder to adjust old habits developed through playing the Super League style of prop forward.

HOWEVER, Tasi aside, not a peep from the club about new signings.

And, the key to this story is this: The Broncos can no longer just waive around the horse logo anymore and expect players to sign up. The club DID approach this guy and he said (obviously in an English accent), "No!".

The club has become that guy in the nightclub, who goes from girl to girl asking for a dance, and ends up sipping a vodka in the corner.

The only dance he can get is the pensioner almost retired Queensland grandma who has come home before the retirement village.

Marshall's problem is his early success - winning a grand final so early and being so well paid at such a young age.

He would benefit greatly from going to a team with an established captain and a strong coach - neither of which I believe we have at the Broncos at the moment.

It's very sad to see the decline of such a great player - but sorry Benji - it's not all about you.

 

[Diesel]

I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up at a SEQ club next year

 

[Big Pete]

From our side of the fence it sounds like we didn't have much if any dealings with Bailey at all. It was all just manager talk.

Said it for a while but I reckon Wallace (or Hunt) and Marshall would be a good halves combo. Wallace to get us down field and Marshall to put the tries on.

Too bad there's no one to score those tries at the moment though, except Hoffman.

 

[AceAv]

word is he is heading to Union anyhow. Not that Broncos would even glance at the idea of buying a talented #7...

Former Wallaby Greg Martin has labelled Benji Marshall "old, no good, too fat and a spoilt brat,'' the former Australian fullback also said. "I haven't seen him make a break this year. He makes Quade Cooper look like Trevor Gillmeister in defence. https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/nrlgossip

 

[Eric Galt]

Greg Martin is a braindead wanker. He makes Josh Dugan look like Einstein.

 

[Dazzat]

These Barba rumours are continuing to circulate. So agonising ... the club should be coming out with a statement surely.

 

[Big Pete]

Hear it's cooling down lately which sucks.

Club can't officially say anything since they're not supposed to negotiate with under contract players.

 

[H-Bomb]

Just saw the Mole on Twitter say he's likely to stay at the Dogs.

Wouldnt surprise me.

that makes me a sad panda

get him to sign before it starts raining!!!

The rumour was always that Barba would leave to make way for Falou at the Bulldogs. If Barba is staying, not sure if they could fit both under the cap when you consider their superstar forward pack.

I'm sure Andrew Gee is hopping on the phone to Falou's agent right now.:roll:

Heard a rumour we are having a crack at Barba and DCE last week. The rumour came from a decent source but things can change quickly. There simply has to be some big signings from somewhere otherwise it could be a sad year again next year.
