Reported on Channel 9 tonight

Michale Witt rumoured to be off to the Broncos

and

Dykes rumoured to be back at the Sharks

They did say "rumoured"

I think we knew about Dyksey, but I had not heard about Witty.

I thought it was Channel 10 News.

And I suspect Witt and Dykes will only be granted releases if we secure Matt Orfords services. But thats just my thoery :?

The last person anyone should believe is Tony "scoop" Peters, he gets the rumours from the internet just like us. I don't know how he holds down a job.

Dykes and Witt maybe gone?????

Orford maybe in.

I detect a touch of panic setting in amongst our chief purchaser. Maybe.

:lol:

Funniest thing Ive ever heard, how can they both be linked with other clubs when theyre not even off contract. Unless you're talking about Steve Witt.

No because I believed the Jamie Lyon story, I dont believe this rubbish story about Witt leaving.

A club can show interest in a player, and a player can inturn show interest in a club whether or not they are under a contract, or before June 30. Whilst a club cant call a player and say, how bout you play for us next year...they can call the players manager and say "we want him to play here next year" and the manager can then tell his client and the client can say "well i'd like to" etc etc...and eventually people become linked to other clubs.
Now possibly this is why we are linked to Orford (we know he has had discussion with Brian), and why Dykes and Witt are rumoured to be leaving...

Broncos are specials at sining players mid contract, and getting them early.

Do the names Tallis and Ikin ring a bell?

Suity, panic isn't the word. Panic doesn't happen over a 3 year period!

Since it was on Ten News I see no reason to believe it, they make half their rumours up so they get the "scoop" and the other half they find on these forums.

Well, that is idiotic if it's true.

We will lose two talented players to sign one greedy one who isn't even all that great?

Please.

Tony Peters, the man that said we were "rumoured" to have signed Matt Utai? :lol:

I can understand the logic behind releasing Dykes to get Orford but there is NO LOGIC in releasing a rising star like Witt who is signed to the club for 5 years #-o

I can see a Dykes for Orford swap, which will leave us a little worse off cash wise (if rumoured contract levels are true), but why would we release Michael Witt, after signing him up for four years during last season?

I know the off-season might not have been kind, and he found himself in premier league behind Dykes, but if Witt knows Dykes is considering leaving, then surely he'd stay to play with Orford?

If true I hope this isn't a case of the PJs again :(

It may not be as unbelievable as it sounds.....Witt is from Toowoomba and guess what QRL club feeds the Broncs...you got it the Toowoomba Clydesdales!!

He may be homesick???
