Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Madden is costing them like less than a $100k year with the Broncos paying the rest …it would cost them more to replace him with someone on the minimum …. Makes little sense to move him on …at the very worse he is a valid depth option for 2027,,
Pretty sure his Broncs contract was to end 2026 so I doubt they’re paying beyond that but I don’t know for sure
 
The Doueihi chat is useful. It’s genuinely sorts the forum into two groups. One group gets the role of a 7. The other group, simply put, don’t get the role.

There is no way that Benji goes into next season with Doueihi as 7… zero, none, nope, let it go, won’t happen. Madden will play 7 over Doueihi. Seeing Latu create at 6 in the final game gives me hope that it could even work ‘okay’
Come on madden , can’t tackle, can’t make a break , is slow as a snail, but if u want us to finish in the bottom half again , then msdden is ur man

Ironic that people saying Javon isn’t ready are prepared to play Madden at 7.

Benji was weak defensively in 2005. Grew throughout the season , ended up making game saving tackles in the semi against broncos …
 
In my opinion Madden is one of our better players. To me he always seems with it and switched on and there are no dramas around him, he just gets on with the job at hand. To me we need more like him at this club.
I like him he’s an actual 7, but I can’t see him getting much better than where he’s at now and that’s not gunna take us to the top, but at his price we keep him for as long as possible with the view of getting a better 7 internally or externally asap.
 
Exactly.

Which ones are those in our team?

You could have Twal on one side but I’m struggling for another?

Adam Doueihi defended amazing outside KPP. KPP movement and decision making makes defence for his outside men so much easier. Thats where Javon needs to defend. I dont think his defence will be any worse than Maddens to be honest.
 
Outside of WTs, I hear a lot of positive comments about Madden and how much smoother our team appears with the ball when he is at 7. Like any half, he will require protection.
I rate him... I believe he was playing injured also, so my previous assessments may have been a bit harsh.
