1. they are having a mini clean out at red hill, too many under performers in the
fowards, and those on big money were more likely to go
2. lots of cheap talent in qld cup
3. lockyer now and hunt in the future will cost heaps
1 - On the first point, not really true, the only player released was Meyers, and at his request. Tallis retired, Webb was told last year he was no longer wanted but stuck around for one more year, Devere left on his own terms and the club has said very publically they wanted him to stay. Frawley like wise. Some clean out, the only player that left because he was unwanted was Webb.
2 - lots of cheap talent in the qld cup :roll: Broncos aren't the only team to sign players from the qld cup. The fact they let meyers go without a fight is because they have so much young talent coming through in the forwards, that there was no real need to stand in the way of his request.
3 - finally Lockyer will be on a big contract yes, but remember the highest paid Bronco in Tallis is retiring. Also leaving was Frawley, Devere, and a few other young guns we had. Meyers leaving was hardly needed to keep the likes of Hunt happy finacially in the future.
