Oh great, we are putting our faith in 3 hookers who are all injured or have a history of frequent injuries. In fact IDG may never come back.
Shit with Moga & the SS Herman leaving that'll free up $4-5m to chase at least a half dozen rep players and baker's dozen homesick starswell this is a relief

Paul White confident Broncos will re-sign off-contract stars

BRONCOS CEO Paul White says the club is confident they are about to re-sign several of their star players, including strike centre James Roberts.
As was revealed by The Courier-Mail , Tautau Moga is set to leave Red Hill next season to join the Knights, with young forward Herman Ese’ese on the verge of following him out the door.
But White is optimistic that the Broncos will be able to retain other big-name players in the coming weeks, with Roberts, Alex Glenn, Jordan Kahu, Benji Marshall and skipper Darius Boyd still among those off-contract.
White said that Boyd’s future should be secured within the next month, while other contracts were close to being finalised.
“We’re close to a number of announcements,” White said.
“There’s no doubt there’s interest in all the players we have coming off contract. We’re working hard to retain our players. It’s a challenge but it’s a good challenge to have.”
One of the players the Broncos are working hard to keep is Roberts.
The Brisbane speedster is being considered for a two to three-year deal, after his management revealed earlier this year that they won’t be looking outside of the Broncos, who have stuck by him through some off-field troubles.
For the Broncos, they wanted to be sure he maintained his good off-field behaviour this season before re-signing, but White said they were becoming increasingly satisfied with Roberts’ demeanour, particularly in his community work.
This hurts me to say but how good was Moanly against Sharks, their forwards were strong and gave their backs plenty of room to work their magic. Their offloads killed Sharks and might I add, a lot of those good players were rejects or reserve grade players from other clubs.
Did the same thing happen with all those huge signings you were crowing about???
Ahh, player managers, the gift that keeps on giving.
Oh, you mean those signings I was excited about as an Eels fan?
Internet forum talk, but that pretty much tees up with what they say about him over at the Kennel where I had a lurk this morning. Money driven. They also don't use the merkin filter over there. Heathens.
lol don't get too upset mate, just having a dig.
We have rocks in our heads if he is still available and we are not having a crack.
On the one hand, I guess you can't blame him or his manager.... they hit the jackpot once when Des agreed to pay an untested rookie big $$'s to move to Belmore, might as well see if lightening strikes twice....
Its all about moneyball!!
