Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[TSP]

Most neutrals hate the bulldogs and their fans especially. They are the worst at the ground, getting to and from games, and in their own neighbourhoods. They act like they are the best fans when their stadiums are empty when they are doing badly, and all of a sudden their bandwagons show up packing out the joint when they're doing well

I’m not a manly person, despite liking seibs, but they are a half rung up from the bulldogs. The bulldogs culture is a shocker and they breed like rabbits too.

The bulldogs families have to pump out ten kids before they produce one good decent bulldog fan.

A bit like the May family, pumping out kids, there’s only one in the NRL who isn’t a pervert or who has allegedly assaulted a young women.

The case for sterilisation could be finally made out @Tucker.

Interesting you say that about their fans acting like they're the best. There's very much a singing when they're winning vibe to their fans that irks me. Sorry nc their fans are great now, but NZ used to be like that too. And....if we are ever good there will be a whole bunch of our young fans like that too.

Every person still here on the forum is a true believer, WT staunch as it gets.

Very impressive.

I think out of the Broncos review, they will want to get in a couple of experienced forward hard-heads. Losing Flegler & Capewell particularly hurt this year. That’s why I think they should seriously look at Bateman not Faagutu.

How about Klemmer? But I'll take Bateman...

To be honest if they take anyone we are willing to part with it's a big win.

 

[JB9918]

Any got an update on the Montoya situation?

Skelton, Turuva, Bird & if we land Montoya. Definitely makes competition for spots.

Douiehi, Olam, To'a, Feledy, Staines, Naden, Lobb, L Laulilii & possibly Faataape.

Staines & Naden apparently free to go.

Faataape development?

Alaimalo no contract

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

We couldn’t get that lucky, could we ?

Anything is possible when you shake the trees lol

Alaimalo isn’t getting re-signed….
We’ve signed 3 wingers and a couple centres since we signed him…
If he can count - he’s looking for another gig… that in itself might be why we haven’t heard anything on him…

 

[rihannafan1]

I would hope Faagutu is not sent back to Brisbane. He was our best Flegg player this year, he's young, he's not in our 30 and his best years are well ahead of him.

You'd wanna send a top 30 guy and they are reportedly looking for an older head. Bateman, Klemmer or Twal fits the bill although why they'd go there is unclear. Broncos don't need Staines or Naden.

That makes no sense, there willing to let a good forward go to pick up a kid that has never played 1st grade , I think someone is pulling ur leg

Tigers and Knights fans have remained loyal to their teams even in the hardest of times. Something we can be proud of... not necessarily the team itself lol

Even though i hate Souffs i would say the same about their supporters as well,their core supporters are as loyal and diehard as we are

I'll even wrap Batemen in Xmas paper if it helps

Faagutu is top 30 next year....

But there's also no way they'd want any of our players. They have half a dozen props as good as Chris.

 

[happy_tiger]

My old man is a Broncos supporter and a pretty good judge of footy players

Take this how you wish but he can't wait to see the back of Kobe Hetherington ....

You got that right.

Yes Knights supporters have stuck by. But even our supporters have nothing on Souths.

Doggies are strong, but Souths have to have the strongest supporter base I know.

Nah, when they were crap their crowds were crap too

 

[Droppy05]

Okay. So then. We shouldn't be wooden spooners. If we don't have the worst roster.

But we have the worst coach.

 

[TSP]

All the same, selling out spoon bowl, regardless of anything else this this season is a pretty good feeling for the tragic rank and file.

Behind the scenes, I’m sure the club would have viewed this extraordinary sell-out in a very positive light.

What it seemed to represent is that the faith was still there notwithstanding the troubles.

We had some recent indications the side was picking up, so it was a shame we got badly beaten. Those following our fortunes more closely wouldn’t have actually bet on us.

I don’t think the fair weather fan is a bad thing per se, it just means they don’t have the same emotional investment and get less bounce back than the harder core when we win. Besides, we need their cash.

If you swing to another club because of success, I guess you’re more attracted to success than the club and it’s machinations.

This is an interesting era in the clubs life, finally getting the office in some kind of order but waiting patiently for outcomes.

The clubs in the finals, such a miserable, uninspiring lot. We get to see how some of our recruits are going, that’s about it.

 

[clontarfkid]

They can have Faagutu, only on 1 year deal for 25. May turn out to be a champion but untested & we need Hethrington now.

Only other one could possibly be Sullivan. Broncos have very poor halves depth in Jock Madden, Rogers who filled in was ordinary. Reynolds is riddled with injury so hopefully they take Bud off our hands.

With there huge nursery,Broncos can manufacture a player for any position except 7
Sullivan wldnt be rated,the obvious won't be reeased..so latu is my pick.from their perspective
Apart from splitting the family,he's our back up if Galvin goes
They can have virtually anyother outside back except Bula

 

[Nonotmeagain]

Because he does the work in coaching with results to back it up. What had Benji done, still wet behind the ears as a coach and no results. He should be putting in 10 hours a day to compete with the other first grade coaches. Apprentices don't get or take the same leave as their masters.
