Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2021

[Sproj]

Im another who doesn't get the Widdop love in. A fullback who has played at 6. He is just a poor man's Darius Boyd.

I am keen on him as a replacement for Milford. Other than that, it is more that we have zero half decent or half ready options at fullback.

I really dont think he would be worth the money at his age with his injury history. $300k for 12 months tops.

 

[1910]

Vudogo to Rebels for three years.

I'd rather staggs @ 6

 

[Alec]

If people discuss a certain player they want to sign enough and someone like Badel picks up on it and writes an article on it...does it then become a rumour?

 

[Lockysillegitimatechild]

Vudogo to Rebels for three years.

He will be playing for the wallabies in less then 6 months. That's less of a compliment to him and more of a comment on the state of the wallabies

 

[IceWorks]

Copley does look like he needs a few weights sessions. Is that a normal body shape for a centre? Hope he is fast!

 

[Kimlo]

Yep. Everyone has forgotten him. Think he’d probably be on more than 400k a season though. A fair chunk out of our salary cap.

Melbourne are subsidising his salary this year. I believe I read we're paying him 280k, next year (final contract year) he'll be on 400k.

280k is basically double the minimum, it's not nothing but it's not bad either.

Give Croft a go under a decent coach and he'll go alright.

And remember how the Storm played strong on the negotiations. . they weren't going to chip in. Could be a lesson there.

I thought we payed full fare?

I'm sure I've read it multiple times they were subsidising the first 2 years, we only pay full for the 3rd year.

 

[1910]

If he doesn't have a contract then he is off contract.

So is most of the world then. He hasn't played in over 12 months, couldn't handle it at Souths and is back at the Hunters for this year. Why would you take that on?

What's he shown that tells you he would turn it around this time? (Please don't post a youtube clip.)

ok.. good to know. He is young and hopefully can justify that spend over the next 2 years.

Thought it was only for the first year

I remember it being two, it would be mentioned somewhere in the signing thread on BHQ. I could be wrong.

 

[Renegade]

I remember Melbourne reeeeee'd about us asking them to chip in. Pay in full or **** off was the message at least in the papers. I admired that stance but who knows how true it was behind the scenes.

No YouTube clips you say?

According to Dean Ritchie in the Telegraph, 300k is what he's currently asking even though he's currently on triple that in the UK. No one has the cash for him.
