Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Yes it is but the NRL tell them the major points of the season like who plays in Vegas who has byes around origin and who plays in last weekend of the year and what days they play on and the computer does the rest and it's a few draws they are presented with before making final choice

So it's rigged but we get an outside company to rig it for us So All Is Good

The clubs get preferences taken into it as well

Great analysis and suggestions @Vicious

I just can't see many more incomings & just have a feeling that Jack Bird will see out his contract with us.

I certainly can see Siosifa Talakai coming in & being a lock rotation with AD (to provide a burst of impact) plus add versatility to the bench for backrow, middle & centre.

Have been an advocate for Corey Allan too as a depth outside back but would prefer Albert Hopoate for his upside (although risky). Have a feeling this spot may be given to Izaak Tui'tupou though.

Tyson Smoothy would be awesome but not sure he'd get quit on his ESL commitment before even starting it. Can see Soni Luke being given a pre-season T&T to put a case forward.

Fletcher Baker or Jack Hetherington as that depth prop with experience.

For an outside back id look at Fletcher Myer just released from Souths before Corey Allen. He's young, would be cheaper and the kid is way faster than Allen with a higher potential upside
 
Given we have 3 spots currently & what's on the market my 3 purchases would be:

1. Jonah Pezet (1 Year Loan) - Considering Latu is out early in the year & again will miss pre-season, Jonah for a year is smart option. Means Doueihi can be used as a Utility, Lock or Right Centre depth if required. All other backline positions we have depth for.

2. Siosifa Talaki - Exactly what we need can play Centre, Backrow or Middle. Depth everywhere we need & impact from the bench while Latu is out.

3. Tui Kamikamica - The middle forward depth we need. Fijian, comes from a good system & is about to play a Grand Final. Would not break the bank, will be in & out the 17.

Based on what we have plus the 3 signings.

1. Bula/Mason
2. Turuva/L Lualili
3. Toa/Bird
4. TayMay/Saukuru
5. Makasini/Skelton
6. Luai/Andrews
7. Pezet* (L Fainu)/Madden
8. TeyMay/Seyfarth
9. Korosaui/Hope
10. Si Fainu/K Lualili
11. Sa Fainu/Geyer
12. Pearce-Paul/Sukkar
13. Twal/Murray
14. Doueihi/Haywood
15. Pole/Goodinet
16. Talaki*/Roberts
17. Hunt/Taupua-Moors
18. Kamikamica*/Broderlow

I would say Mapapalangi, Thompson, Rahme and a few others will get Cup/T&T contracts to assist with centre depth which seems the obvious shortage.

Well there’s always one.
This bloke just waiting for THAT moment.

Madge can coach … but only with a team full of top players. Kiwis ✅ Blues ✅ Brisbane All Stars ✅

Face the facts. He was here 4 years, let that sink in, 4 years and each year we got worse. Yet people say he didn’t have the roster he wanted.

Now I can’t prove it but I think the NRL really wanted the Broncos in the GF. The raiders were absolutely dudded in their finals match.

Yesterday the Panthers led 14-0 at half time and I told the wife that most the calls would go to The Broncs in the second half and walah!

So, the top teams this season, Broncos, Penrith, Storm, Raiders, not full of top players? How do you think you get to the finals, with bums?

I’m not sure, but my count says we currently have 27 top 30 players contracted for 2026 including Bud Sullivan who we are supposedly offloading to the Rabbitohs and including Jack Bird who we are also rumoured to be trying to offload.
So if we successfully offload those 2, we would only have 25 contracted top 30 players for 2026 by my count ?

Mate, I think you need to give up on Jack Bird being off-loaded.

Nah, Madge wouldn't just hire Bum's.. He hires Drop kicks, Dickwads and a bunch of hasbeens...

That said, Good on Madge. (Bar the fact this forum is going to have people saying "Why dinnit we give him 10 years to turn us around). He is a good guy and even though the Broncos have cash in closets, he got them to the finals, which is an effort.

Still Spewing that he can get Reynolds to re-sign with the Donkeys for 500k, yet couldn't get Adam Reynolds to play for us when he was here. Heck want proof Madge wouldn't have worked here, WT = Jackson Hastings and Brooks, Brisvegas gets Reynolds for peanuts.
