Brisbane side is not that good.
Other clubs are offering big dollars I reckon just to make their wages public knowing they wont sign.
Fafita at this stage is worth maybe 500k. I do not believe Lodge is on 700k. I reckon he is a good front rower but he is not elite. 500k is about all he would get. And J.Bird 1 million? Highly unlikely.

Gillett is also on very good money. They will lose Super NZ international Alex Glenn and all will be sweet.

Move along people nothing to see here.........

Each week, The Courier Mail's Pete Badel reports live from Red Hill to give us the latest team news, injury updates and contract sticking points for the three Queensland NRL teams. This week he's got exclusive insight on some major news with QLD stars.”

“A good return for the Broncos this week with Alex Glenn and Matt Gillett back in the 17. Some good news for Alex Glenn as well, the Broncos have formally tabled a two-year offer.The problem is it's not at the same rate that he's on at the moment. Financially, it's a pay cut but if he wants to stay he now has that option.”

Turpin is off contract, and the Warriors have reportedly made a decent offer to him, Sign him, or replace him with an average NRL half and there's gotta be at least 500k in it

“The Broncos have tied down young hooker Jake Turpin to a new three-year deal.

Turpin was off contract this year and has enjoyed a good season for Brisbane, playing in both the halves and at his preferred position of hooker.”

People want to call Broncos cheats.
Some players would be on overs but a lot of these young guys wouldn't be.
Haas will demand 1 mill a year. Pangai jnr just isnt that good. Same as Ofengaue. Fafita is the other who will get some good coin.
Boyd,Bird,Milford contracts will all.be up soon and wont be costing anywhere near what did last time.

Eels would have MJ on 800k. Paying half of Norman's contract. Mannah on 400k in Wenty. Bevan on 300k playing overseas. Tepai on 500k playing wenty.

According to the article quoted by Josh above, all three of them have two more years.

LOL!! So they lose no one and upgrade half their roster. The comp is absolutely broken.

They have upgraded all those young blokes besides Staggs and Dearden. Plus paying huge overs for Milford, Bird and Dawwwwwius.


These merkins haven’t been on the level since 1988, they should be winning the competition every second year. Its hilarious they are behind our mediocre little club on the ladder.

The Broncos have a bottomless pit of cash an a licence to do whatever the f**k they like, yet still struggle to jag a top 8 position.

Meanwhile @hindy111 is like

Going into this season they had:
Milf reportedly $1m
Dawius reportedly $800k
Bird rep player wouldn’t be cheap
McCullough probably modestish
Gillett rep player wouldn’t be cheap
Roberts let go, can’t remember if he resigned at any point with them but I doubt he was on large coin

Since then they’ve reportedly resigned:
Oates surely an upgrade
Fifita reportedly knocking back $4m contract from us
Turpin probably not heaps but surely an upgrade
Lodge same as Turpin
Haas surely an upgrade
TPJ surely an upgrade
Glenn probably a downgrade or gone

I don’t know Staggs or Ofahengaue statuses but they’ll be liable for upgrades

So they lost one and downgraded another for not huge savings. Any other player they lose won’t be on big money. Do the numbers stack up here? Were they well under cap?

They already lost Roberts. I reckon they will lose Bird and Darius at the end of the year. That's 3 big contracts. And possibly Alex Glenn.

Roberts wasn’t on huge coin, we were all told by the Courier Fail how he owed Wayne and was happy to stay for less. It’s amazing at Clubs like the Donkeys they all sign for less but once they leave they were on big money.

Only behind us because we had an easy draw remember.

The nrl needs strong broncos and storm teams in the comp. Heaven forbid if they miss out on the semis. Watch and see the donkeys get the lucky calls tomorrow night.
