Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2023

Pinch of salt time with this one, but just heard Piakura is a priority target for Cronulla.

 

[Sproj]

Meh Piakura, Riki, Mam and Capewell will all be targets / priorities of other clubs.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Would TPJ for a cut price deal and rebuild his career be viable? Could Kev, Carrigan and Haas keep him in line? He was cleaned out initially and moved on as dead wood with a silly contact value.

No fucking way. We just got done chopping all the negative influences, we are not about to invite them back in.

I doubt that Capewell or Riki will be going anywhere. Mam and Piakura, possibly because they are two players who are likely to get decent money thrown at them and money talks. I just thought it was a bit out there because i dont see Cronulla needing a back rower unless they want to revamp their side a little. Seems an odd club to be linked to for a back rower.

I thought the same but they are short a backrower. I know there's always some recency bias in these predictions but I really see the sharks dropping off over the next 2-3 years unless there is a major revamp of their squad.

I think riki and mam take priority out of those guys. Capewell is a leader and piakura still hasn't proven himself completely so a deal would still be slightly potential based. I think they should offer them both the same amount and say whoever is willing to accept is the one who stays. They both have their pros and cons.
Gun to my head I'd pick capewell, we've tried the "potential path" and it is not a happy ending. Capewells form fluctuates but he brings alot more to the group overall behind the scenes by the sounds of it.

Looking at their roster the will only have 2 senior back rowers in Wilton and Nikora now Graham has retired. I thought they were well stacked in that department. Clearly i was wrong!

Will ask sauce on weekend.

They just re-signed Teig Wilton and Nikora...

2 back rowers would leave them a bit light if one goes down like Wilton did this year though.

Would leave us with 2 if he left... maybe 1 if Capewell also leaves.

It would, but we have signed Hunt and Fletcher Baker has played back row i think for the rorters iirc even though he's more of a front rower. I guess not much you can do if a player off contract leaves. We just have to find another one.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Yes....

We have Te Kura coming through as well. I don't think we will lose any of them but if one does, so be it.

Badel warning: Reynolds will sign a one year extension after the finals according to 360.

But , he said limited . Hey , this punctuation thing is kind of fun . Only problem is that my phone even rejects the notion . But , in that way it makes me feel more powerful in asserting my dominance over an inanimate object .

Yeah , good one smart arse ...

Are you inebriated ?

 

[Big Del]

Would 100% take him on about 350-400k and let him box in the off season. He is good mates with the squad, and very good mates with Haas, and could be an absolute weapon off the bench with no pressure. TPJ as a 30-40min player could be special.

Brilliant idea .
He could throw a few offloads in his own quarter , fail to back up and not chase in defence .Just what the Broncos need .

Bring him home ! Broncos fo eva !
