Curran would be a great addition. Hope we are in the mix...

look on the bright side ,Noffa 25% cheaper than Brookes as the new whipping boy is a bargain

+ 30% off with new salary cap. A bargain

I reckon Benji is plotting an outside back off contract next year who is flying under the media’s radar due to injury, Taylan May.

Could depend on what Penrith’s salary cap position is for ‘25 given Turuva off contract & young gun McLean coming through & what Luai does.

Just my thoughts.

The Club leaks go beyond player contract matters …the media seems to know the Clubs internal business

Too many boozy lunches at Leichardt me thinks

 

[KCtiger]

We should sign Savage, Tracey and Curran.
Would freshen up and strengthen our squad to a top 8 chance if everyone stays fit.
And if they wanna also nab Olakau’ate and Willison that would be ok too.
Then ill wake up

Savage doesn’t take training seriously (hence not making the raiders team) and Curran would just be worse then twal and block a spot for one of our juniors

 

[Fallen Angel]

And we talk about how badly the club is supposedly run now.
Nothing compares to the complete stuff up in losing Teddy, Moses and Woods.

In hindsight, losing Woods was a blessing.

I think we may need a lot of back up options by the look of it.

Standard us.

Whatever else we might think of the club's prospects it's encouraging that the players we actually want to keep seem to be bought in and aren't trying to leave. Koroisau, Bula and now Utoikamanu - you could make a case that they are literally the only three players on our 2023 roster that other clubs would actually covet.

See how they react to a third straight spoon.

Which is correct, okay some interest around Twal but I think that's as a second tier player.

the surprise is:

Isaiah Papali'i​

and John Bateman.

These two should be gun and desirable players. With both their form is way lower then past performance. Bateman we know it was almost a mid season transfer so lets see what a good preseason does.

Broncos have developed players with elite attributes, both physical & skill, and have taken those attributes (speed, strength, power, cardio, ball skills) to new levels. Walsh, Cobbo, Staggs, Fansworth, Mam, Haas, Riki, Flegler & Carrigan provide an amazing combination of attributes. With shrewd recruitment in Reynolds & Capewell, they have rocketed up the ladder the past 4 seasons.

We are not going to replicate that by purely recruitment. We need to develop the likes of Laulilii brothers, Faagutu, Galvin, Mason, Large brothers, Makasini, Willett and take the likes of Stef, Pole, Matamua, Fainu brothers, Blore, T'oa & Bula to whole new levels to get us anywhere near the top 4.

Morris is a good man to have on board to help Benji & Api with this.

I agree with this. The first thing this club needs to come close to replicating what the broncos have done is have stability. No bullshit five year plans that last a year. Pick a direction and stick to it, and shut up in the media.

Bookmakers have us second last and that’s optimistic. Try realism for once.

Let's see how the roster shapes up first huh.

Geez.

It’s there on paper, 2024 is another bust year. Refer to my previous predictions if you need to.

You don’t think the club deserves criticism? It’s at an all time low. The criticism comes from me wanting to watch my team win.

Negativity isn’t necessarily bad.

I have reservations about benji recruitment.

Poor coaching crippled us. The parra coach would of got this years squad a lot higher

So what do you want to pay Bula?
Let’s low ball him so he goes to the Roosters. Awesome idea

Balmain boys whine about bulas contract was one of the most ridiculous posts I’ve ever seen on this forum,,, and that is saying something… like, all that drama is not really our problem to whine about , they get paid well,, deal with it,,, and Bula is a rising star we needed to keep , desperately!
