Rumours and Stuff

Norman and Ash Taylor are both awesome on their day. Sam Walker is phenomenal considering his age.

On Walker, If I was running the Broncos, I would go hard to being him back to QLD and the Broncos. I would use Walters with is close relationship with his father and offer the kid a contract that he could not refuse.

Money talks, and I would take a massive gamble on the kid, but I think he is worth it. Walters needs to or he will be gonsky and the stink will slowly increase over the next year or two if he can't attract a top flight half to run that team.

Offer the kid $800-900K. Yes I know it is a massive amount, but that is the only way he would ever even consider leaving what he now thinks of his perfect coach and club. At the very least it would force the Roosters to increase any upgrade offer they would have made otherwise.

Just what I would do if I were in Walters shoes. Bring one of their own back home. The buzz would be enormous.

I was speaking to Chris Walker the other day, as he’s involved with a boxer I manage. He said the broncos treated him very poorly last season when it was time for negotiations. I think that ship has sailed.

Got a bad gut feeling Moses is going to the Drongos

Dearden gone to Cowboys, according to Tate doesnt think Bronocs even offered him anything
And doubt the Ponys will extend Milford.

Reckon Adam Reynolds will stay at Souths or go the Sharks, only cause I dont think he wants to uproot his family to go and live interstate

And the fact Moses hasnt activated next year with us

Would be a poor decision professionally for him. I think the Broncos are a good 2-3 years away from being top 8 again. Financially might be a good thing for him..
With Parra's current crop of players we are in great shape to win a premiership and be very competitive for years to come. Recent recruitment, retention and direction is the best its been for a very very long time.
Players want to come to our club without us paying overs. Far cry from where we were 10 years ago. Let's not revisit.
Glad we have the management personnel in place to keep driving the place for forward.
Plus we have the biggest membership base ever...if we do win a premiership the member numbers, sponsorship, merchandise sales etc will explode..

Question for Moses is if he’s willing to take a 2 year deal at $800-$850k p/yr with us

or a 4 year deal for $1-1.1m p/yr in Brisbane.

By all accounts he wants to stay, but money talks, maybe matching the term would make it a more even playing field

Taking four years at less than top dollar is worse than only two years at less than top dollar. I reckon he will surely take up his option and try again next year.

Not always.

Top dollar now may be more than top dollar in two years.

Demand now is a known, demand in two years is a known unknown.

That would be perfect for our club.
. Keeps Moses motivated to play at the top of his game.
. Provides a full season to see how Jrthur progresses.
. Time to re evaluate if say a Drinkwater etc could be tempted.
. Time to develop Drown to take over the 7.
. Maybe find another diamond in the rough such as, Ice, Roach, Emu, Perham or even a Cartwright now that Our scouts appear to be switched on.
