press conference Friday....

By the Broncos
The latest rumours re Roberts is as follows and documented in the media.
The Broncos are his preference destination but the contract offer is way inferior to Dragons.
Broncos need to shed at least one player if not two by Friday.. Problem being both players they are tring to shed have 2 year contracts in play..
Roberts committed to a decision by as early as tomorrow latest Friday - if he decides to wait for Broncos.
The reality could be that we end up w Roberts by default as Broncos offer will be underwhelming and won't have enough time to move on the relevant players in time to make this deal happen..
Gold Coast are the key here as they seem to be the only team that can afford to throw $300k a season as of 2016 to a centre.. It just depends which centre they go for..will it be. Broncos player and will the deal happen. Time?
I'm still confident we could land Roberts.... There are too mAny pluses we are throwing at him
Fullback position
$$$$$
Beautiful sea side residence
Away from a major city
A top 8 team
And here's the other forum brainiac.
I bring sharp intellect. That's why it goes over your head, I'm afraid.

Personally I like Objective View's posts. I don't agree with him but about Mary at all but imagine how f**king annoying, boring and 'dumbed-down' (and nearly empty) this place would be if every homie were like Bottle, Country Dragons and Coast Dragon:crazy::crazy:???

No, forget Roberts & be happy we signed Lafai.
If what you are saying is fact re the inferior to us offer and The Donkeys are his preferred club then im almost convinced now he will go there....theres a lot of businesses in Brisbane that im sure imo can prop up the shortfall...as for them shedding players that's just a smokey ...hope Im wrong but I doubt it ....and theres one thing we cant throw at him, Wayne Bennett
I believe that the issue is more the the NRL will allow him to register for under the Salary Cap. After the Farah fiasco, it seems as though the NRL are ensuring that contracts at least look legitimate - I've got no doubt the Donkeys will be propping up Roberts with under the table deals that blow our offer out of the water.
Hence why they are his preferred club ;-)
I'd love the nrl to come and make a statement saying that any deal for Roberts must be legitimate under ther salary cap and can't consist of more then 60-70% third party deals. Would just blow the donkies out of contention haha.
Exactly. Come 2017 when TPA changes are hopefully introduced the Donkeys etc won't enjoy the luxury they do now.
Shame it doesn't help us now with Roberts though.
