Willison has an offer from WT for 2026. Let's see what happens this arvo.

You mean 25?
We can't make any offers for 26 for another year or so

 

[innsaneink]

What ? Naden is 28 and has played 68 NRL games, Toa us 23 and has played 61 nrl games. Your comment makes no sense at all.

I didn't check ages or number of games played.. This is pury my opinion on where both guys are at right now... If anything I thing your facts on ages and games played proved my point even more... It's simy an opinion don't know how you cannot make sense of it

How can we have made him an offer for 26 when he can’t have an offer until Nov 1 this year? He is contracted until next year Willison so unless Broncos have given him permission to look elsewhere, we can’t make him an offer for 26.

What you say is true but you can talk to any player and say something like "would you be interested in joining us 2 years from now we will better anyone else money wise" as long as you don't offer him a contract or mention dollars i believe it is legal.All of which only highlights why the NRL despite it's wonderful product is ran by cretins and don't get me started on the referees/judiciary which is even more unfair

Get a taxi/uber instead. Not difficult.

Widespread cocaine usage is the worst kept secret of the league.

Of society at large

we've finally started tampering. I love it.

Willison was on my wish list a year ago.
Has the physical attributes [size, height, muscle, speed, skillset] we have ignored in our past talent/recruiting identification program.
We need to identify these natural attributes as a priority for the future of our forward pack to narrow down the possible from the not likely.
We seem to have seen the light after all those years of nuggets; or are finally agreeing the other clubs got it right long before we woke up to why they were succeeding!

Anti-tampering rules aside, Brisbane are going to struggle to keep their squad together. This isn't the 90s when Brisbane could flout the salary cap with impunity. They've already lost Farnsworth and Flegler and more will follow. Unfortunately, most departing players will go to other Qld teams.

If Lewis Dodd joins Bunnies next season, what will Ilias do? Hes a decent half and a tigers junior?

He can come back and lead the magpies!

I have seen little from Ilias to suggest he would be any help to us,ESL would be far more likely

He’ll be flipping burgers in 3 or 4 years.

I've been a big critic of Ilias as a half, but I think he could become a very good 14. He straightens the attack better then every half in the comp, defends strongly and will only get bigger. Therefore I think he could cover a short stint at 9 when Api needs a break then play some 13 at stages of a game. He would straighten and free up our halves as good as anyone really. Just don't give him a role that requires kicking and he could be effective.

He can be 19th man at Salford sitting on the bench with their 18th man the Nof.

Nice Demps. 👏👏👏

But, If we did that some 13 year old’s parents would be on the phone about having their sons pathway blocked.

Doggies as usual sniffing around.

Surely he is ahead of Nofo even with a broken leg.

it's a fair school of thought but right now I'm more than content with having either Latu, Tallyn or Heath Mason as our 14. ideally Mason. he's probably the player best suited moving forward.
