Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

From all reports he’s about as standup of a bloke as it gets . Apparently his siblings are really good kids as well .
Whatever he decides to do , only the absolute lunatic fans will begrudge him. He’s done everything he can for that club.

Surely he'll be looking to go somewhere with a genuine shot at titles. Player of his quality & effort missing premiership winner from his resume. He'll get paid wherever he ends up.

Like it was ever a possibility

I’m sure he can still pay the siblings rent from interstate …

They are kids still he isn't leaving Brisbane but mayby he leaves the Broncos

Even if we signed him, politis wouldn’t allow the NRL to register the contract anyways

So who runs the damn show?

I'm all for Doueihi dropping down in the pecking order, but who else can kick? We can't rely on Api as the alternate. We are already exhausting him with 80 minutes rather than spelling him. We need to recruit / find within our ranks a good player as well as a great kicker. Also wouldn't it be handy to have a back rower that could also take on the hooker role to give Api a break? Remember Ray Brown in the Wests Magpie's in the late 70's before Manly pinched him?

His replacement (Makasini) is a kicker...just needs another 18months.

Not if Politis can help it. Him and Gould. The power brokers. The NRL rule makers. TTT a few posts above this makes total sense. Before that we still have Moses in our system - our DNA. I hope Bula will not be collateral damage. And never ever again deal with this entity.

Richo been waiting for this move to go through before he can announce the signings

This just goes to show the types of players we had tied up to development deals…can’t even make top tier super league team…

Politis

I’m guessing the Peter Taateo signing (from the Raiders) will also be announced this week.

Development contract this year and a Top 30 deal next year. I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets an NRL game this year off the bench — maybe even in the next few weeks.

I was impressed with him yesterday in KOE. Made an impact in both attack and defence, and showed nice footwork before the line.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Mason is upgraded to top 30 tomorrow + year extension announced. Thus opening up a development contract for Taateo immediately.

Politis

I don't know. For us - that guy with dreads that roosters booted back to Newcastle would be a marquee signing for us - and - for most every other club. Not for Politis. He's at peak now Politis cause Gould, his apprentice, right now - has the spot light.

Imagine if we won the game - 2 years extension.

Kade already said he is getting a top 30 spot.

Kade already said he is getting a top 30 spot.

It’s inevitable. His manager said as much. I just hope it’s for longer than a year.

There seems to be a lack of good edge forwards at the moment. I look around and there are only like 12-13 genuine guns. A lot of guys playing on the edge really should be playing in the middle, like Souths have discovered with Koloamatangi.

Would have under he old regime AHX lol

I have seen him live about 5 times, while he regularly has the job not a very reliable goal kicker

In that department we are covered. We have Seyfarth and SF.

To any Broncos player reading this, here's a tip, coach yourselves and just nod when Maguire talks.

Looking back on tales from Tiger Town our blokes didn't even nod when he talked to them in the sheds, they just stared at the ground and didn't even acknowledge him.
