Finally he leaves. We have a full backrow already plus there's a few more up and coming second rowers namely Mitchell Frei.

Good luck to him, we have a great back row, bring in a youngster next year and more game time for Gillett

Looks like he is already gone
"I've met with Ben and he's a highly motivated young man who wants to achieve great heights in rugby league," said Souths coach Michael Maguire.

He obviously doesn't otherwise he wouldn't have signed with souths :lol:

In seriousness, it's sad to see him go, but the backrow is one area we have covered quite well. We have Frei, Slyney and Ivan. Also in a couple of years Timu from the under 20s might be ready for a step up.

The bloke is a mercenary. He was with the Tigers, and now he is with you guys.Good player, but only interested in money. It's a shame as he has so much to offer, but when it came to you guys and Souths, no matter how good the Broncos go......it's all about the money for Ben.

Anyway, the game has a habit of sorting out his type, they are usually very quickly forgotten in retirememnt, or even sooner depending on the injury Gods.

What is all the hype about Teo. The way BM carries on he is next big thing. Solid without being anything brilliant IMO.

think about who it is carrying on and take it with a truckload of salt. if a paraplegic was going to soufs BM would call it the greatest signing ever

Te'o is a very good player and still has his best in front of him, injuries havent helped him develop consistently

depends how much more money he's being offered. on NRL fox the figure bandied around was close to $400k which i find ridiculous if true. but realistically he's a player with the potential to play 60-70mins a game and just cant get that at the broncos with the backrow we have. I dont blame him for wanting to start and play more minutes.

Petero will go at the end of the year and i think thaiday will play more front row (even though mcguire could easily start the game) in order to get gillett on the park more.

Good luck to Ben, I hope he continues to play well and be on the radar for Queensland selectors.

He has been a good servant to the club. He filled in at Centre when we needed, played the enforcer role, and even popped up on that Broncos TV thing on game nights. He is a good bloke. Sad to see him go.

And, for all those bagging him for taking the money, look at it this way:

Would you rather:
- less money, and come off the bench; or
- more money, and a starting role?

Bred, not bought.

The Broncos are doing a very shit job of avoiding turning themselves into a player factory.

The Broncos have been a player factory for the last 20 years. It's the price you pay when the salary cap is the way it is.

I know the money is good, but f**k me... Te'o just murdered his career, and it mystifies me why players would do that.

You need to start forgetting about this childish obsessiveness with the LOL@Souffs gang.

Taylor and Inglis haven't exactly murdered their careers at Souths.

Maybe it's the under dog thing, but I can't wait for them to wipe the smirks off some of this forums faceless comedians.....

The sheer size of Teo this year hasn't stopped wowing me over and even though we're fairly well set for back rowers, I can't help to think that we'll miss him.

I will LOL@5(c)uff$ for as long as I want, and I'm not about to stop now.

FTR, I was happy with them returning to RL, but that club has turned into a chequebook rugby league farce, with supporters with as much arrogance about their antique history, as delusion about their current standing in the Rugby League world.
As far as I'm concerned, they can and should disappear into oblivion!

Going to souffs is akin to murdering your career, because you will never win anything again. At least they will have a longer holiday than most, because they won't have to play in September...

If you truly believe that then you have NFI about RL.........

and if arrogant supporters are your thing, spend some time in the Dragqueens forums. You'll get your arrogance fix by the bucket full.

You can't base the entire fan base around bunniesturd.......most of the other fans are just the same as ours, passionate about their club and will fight back when a group of juvenile cum drops obsessively stalk their highs and lows that EVERY club has.

41 years says I do and you don't!

There is plenty of arrogance at the Dragons, Manly, Storm and amongst Broncos, but guess what. They actually have something to show for it in the modern world.

And if you think my opinion is based only on dunniesgimp, then it's you who have NFI. Every club has their idiots, and I do respect people like SSTID, and even DKOR, despite his clear disability to discern which club I support, but they are a small minority in a myrtle and green world full of deluded idiots!

Last but not least, what I hate most about souffs is how they are trying to buy some glory back with their chequebook, instead of fixing the rot within.
