Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2023

Out of the Qld teams Titans seem the worst option to me. They've got a thousand halves coming through the juniors and already have Foran there as a senior half to get them around the field, so Benny turning up starts to become a road block for the juniors coming through. They're not really a...

We're on.

Disclaimer- what happens under the scenario capewell or Walters is missing too and the other does get it? No winner? or suck it up and pay up? Your call.

Actually are you wagering it will be capewell or just taking my bet where it must be Walters? If so if Walters is out I say the bet is voided, unless you are putting your money on it being capewell then we discuss the stipulation in my above comment……

 

[Fitzy]

If we don't have a name for this absolute banger of a conspiracy yet, may I suggest 'Waltergate'?

I suspect that one has been put away from when the big Kev himself gets the sack.

 

[Foordy]

I’ve got 20 bucks that says if we go into a game next season with both carrigan and Reynolds missing due to injury, Walters will captain.

You might as well throw the 20 bucks in the garbage

Both players must be available.

I'm saying it's Capewell, you're saying it's Walters. If neither are selected, bet is void.

 

[tommy]

Trash talk about friendly wagers, I love it. Come on @Foordy it’s only $20, I can afford to lose it with one more eager punter who knows what he’s talking about. If you want that last spot, it’s yours.

Not a great vote of confidence in a favourite of yours either btw foordy.

 

[theshed]

Tommy, brother, you do realise Capewell was captain like 6 times this season yeah?

 

[tommy]

Yep. How did we go? I have full faith in kevvie getting me home because reasons though. Billy will have had a full pre-season at hooker barking orders and will have his big boy pants on now he’s clearly our first choice and almost certainly part of our team’s leadership group. It’s not like I bet a million dollars, I give myself a 50/50 shot if the scenario does come up though.

Mixed bag like the whole season

I’ve added to that post btw.

Even foordy can see what I see, despite his trash talk he refuses to take me on for what he claims would be an easy $20.

I will 100% bet you $20 that if both Walters and Capewell are in the starting 13 and one of them is captain it will be Capewell.

Starting 17 and we have a bet, same as super freak’s.

^^^^^

or suspension or any other reason btw, no loophole there.

Fine

 

[tommy]

no trial games either btw.

I’m happy to wire $40 to a bhq or other neutral account, or even one of you 2. Long time til next year kicks off, I could be dead or suffering from dementia by then and would hate anybody to think I was dodging. If I win but never collect consider it an inheritance.

@Superfreak

 

[Culhwch]

I'd suggest Haas is a better chance than Walters if Reynolds, Capewell, and Carrigan were all out. He'll be on the field longer. Even Oates maybe, or Riki possibly. Walters would have to be a long shot, I think, in anyone's mind but those with predisposition for thinking he's the source of all of our woes.
