Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2023

[NSW stables]

Matt rogers did a union stint before the titans didn't he?

 

[mrslong]

Seriously why is it always our fucking club that gets targetted with ridiculous insane offers from other codes.

Folau, Hunt, Thorn, Sailor, Tiquiri, I'm sure there's plenty more. Why doesn't Cleary get a 2m offer from union.

The thing that makes me mad is the NRL stepped in to stop Joey (and I think Gasnier) going to union for the “betterment of the game”…..(Gaz eventually went anyway a year or two later). But isn’t it also in their best interest not to allow Haas to walk away???

 

[Sproj]

These are the ones who have gone to union that I can think of:

Folau (Broncos -> AFL)
K.Hunt (Broncos -> AFL)
Suaalii
Ferguson
Shibasaki
Gasnier
Rogers
Sailor (Broncos)
Tuqiri (Broncos)
Radradra
Vunivalu
Korabeti
RTS
SBW
Thorn (Broncos)
Teo
Burgess
Gower
Haas? (Broncos)

Folau (Broncos -> AFL)

Suaalii

Sailor (Broncos)
Tuqiri (Broncos)
Radradra
Vunivalu
Korabeti
RTS
SBW
Thorn (Broncos)
Teo
Burgess
Gower
Haas? (Broncos)

If I complete the list, it's heavily skewed to the Broncos.

Folau (Broncos -> AFL)
K.Hunt (Broncos -> AFL)
Suaalii (Roosters)
Ferguson - more of a retirement contract
Shibasaki - doesn't count, more of a depth player
Gasnier (Dragons)
Rogers (Sharks)
Sailor (Broncos)
Tuqiri (Broncos)
Radradra (Eels)
Vunivalu (Storm)
Korabeti (Storm)
RTS (Warriors)
SBW (Bulldogs
Thorn (Broncos)
Teo (Souths)
Burgess (Rabbitohs)
Gower (Penrith)
Haas? (Broncos)

Wonder what 17 we can make out of ex-NRL players in that list.

 

[Sproj]

1. Hunt
2. Sailor
3. Folau
4. Gasnier
5. Tuqiri
6. Rogers
7. Gower
8. Haas
9.
10. Burgess
11. Teo
12. Thorn
13. SBW

14.
15. Vunivalu
16. Radradra
17. Suaalii

I just can't find a 9 and that bench is woeful.

 

[Wolfie]

Not NRL, but Jason Robinson was one of the best i can think of who switched from League to Union. Terrific footballer.

Berrick Barnes, Craig Wing, Andrew Walker, Timana Tahu, Ryan Cross, Clinton Schifcofske, Willie Carne, Peter Ryan and can't forget Lachlan Maranta

 

[LittleDavey]

Berrick Barnes wasn't too shabby, he'd have made a Harry Grant-style #9 I reckon.

 

[Johnny92]

Berrick Barnes, Craig Wing, Andrew Walker, Timana Tahu, Ryan Cross, Clinton Schifcofske, Willie Carne, Peter Ryan and can't forget Lachlan Maranta

And Benji

Andrew Walker was a good one that also ended up there.

 

[1910]

Berrick Barnes, Craig Wing, Andrew Walker, Timana Tahu, Ryan Cross, Clinton Schifcofske, Willie Carne, Peter Ryan and can't forget Lachlan Maranta

Carne and Berrick came from rugby.

 

[Xzei]

didnt craig wing end up in japanese rugby?

 

[007]

Hunt is available for 800k but wants 2 year contract.

Liam Knight will be available for 620k, should we lose Haas.

 

[Big Pete]

Hunt is available for 800k but wants 2 year contract.

Liam Knight will be available for 620k, should we lose Haas.

I'd only sign Knight if he came WITH 620K.

 

[Super Freak]

We could do better than Liam Knight with the money we would free up losing Haas.

 

[Skyblues87]

We could do better than Liam Knight with the money we would free up losing Haas.

100pct agree. Be spewing if we lost Flegs to keep Haas and he ends up going. That said Flegs probably on too much for a forward. Fletcher Baker from Chooks is a rumour at present.

Fletcher baker isn’t a Haas replacement he is a we are losing a few middle forwards let’s get another reliable one in who can hopefully develop into something better than just reliable.

Are you saying the Dragons are going to release Hunt, two and half years early three months after he re-signed?
