Honestly don't recall ever watching him play so wouldn't pay any attention to my opinion on the matter. But I'd assume he plays SG Ball this year and maybe some ressies later in the year.

Only 17, not old enough to be given a development contract. But needs to be given the train and trial contract to pay him for his time at training and give him his work cover rights.

THey might all be unsigned but convincing them to take a Trialist contract wouldn't be easy. It is only fractionally more a week than a reserve grade contract but without the security of being signed for the full season. They would potentially also be holding out for a top 30 contract an...

But are the other blokes available signing on a train and trial contract?

How far back do I need to go? I just randomly checked the Broncos 2019 draw (last year before Vlandys) and Broncos played 5 of 2018s top 8 twice. So it predates Vlandys.

This is clearly not true. Broncos next year have 5 of this year's top 8 twice. As do Storm and Roosters. But carry on.

Yeah I agreed with your follow up comments. The article linked in the original comment was about Broncos having a couple extra home games and a favourable draw as being the reason for why they're getting an unfair advantage. I think that couple extra home games is a non issue and they often have...

Pretty bad, until you look at Luai's numbers.

Yeah, each had a 4 year ban. Earl then did and ACL once returning to training before getting on the field giving him an extra year out of the game. I see no reason Fainu couldn't come back. Sure it has been a little longer out of the game than the others but 29 isn't so old that he will have...

I think he could if he is dedicated to coming back. We've seen Sandor Earl and Bronson Xerri return from similar time out of the game. Whether he or anyone at the club is considering it ive no idea.

I disagree with this take. I dislike the Broncos as much as anyone and would agree they have had to many advantages for too long. One of those advantages is very few 5 day turnarounds and the free to air games they get. But typically with that comes a tougher draw. They usually cop more top 8...

Must've been discussed on 360 or some such. A couple of different AI searches shows it isn't in any online text media at all.

I can't find anywhere this is reported apart from a few on here claiming as such and the rest of the forum taking it as fact.

It's both. You typically get the effort guys who do all those things but couldn't bruise a grape or the intimidating power forwards who don't have the motor for all those effort plays. Haas is one of a kind consistently doing both.

I'm not against rule changes per se. Without them we would still be playing unlimited interchange and the defence only retreating 5m. The corner post no longer being out is an example of a very good and logical rule change. My issue is that they change rules now without thinking of potential...

That was my thoughts last game when people were praising him on here. Aside from one awful pass, I can't blame him for the final. Samoa just didn't have enough ball for him to have any impact on the game.

As much as I agree with others that we are better off losing players than paying ridiculous overs to keep them, that isn't the point. The point is the club couldn't convince them to stay at a fair price. I don't really hold Richo accountable for this. Poopy Diaper explained well how he is...

Agree. Wouldn't shock me if negotiations haven't really even started yet. As such, Id expect were still ages away from a decision being made and the current 'delays' are actually non existent and nothing to worry about either way.

Back when I used to be involved in the game Parra juniors had a rep of nepotism ruining their systems. That was pre Covid so unsure if things are different nowadays.

Costs way to much. I like Staines as a bloke and a player but he is everything that was wrong with this clubs cap management the last few years. We reportedly paid him 500k his first season then extended him for 2 more at likely about 300k to do a role a train and trialist should be doing. Would...
