i fear these loan deals, Grant could easily be pursuaded to not go to melbourne next year chuck a hissy fit andnwhat is melbourne really going to do, make him leave and go back ?
Simpkin could do the same thing he goes to brisbane they get in his ear and in 2 years he signs with them.
We could potentially have the two QLD SOO players for the next 10 years on our books and one starting andnone off the bench.
If Liddle is fit loan him out maybe

Broncos need a hooker. The cynic in me believes no matter how bad it gets, the big clubs will always come out on top.

If after spending a few years in the Storm system Grant likes what he sees here in our system, that in itself will be a huge plus for us. Happy for him to go back to Storm if Smith retires, happy to try and convince him to stay if Smith plays on.

He could be he won’t. Grant will be off back to Melbourne, but not the end of the world, Simpkins a year older and Liddle a massive rehab will offer plenty.

And we get Momo back. How's he been going, has he had a run yet for Melbourne?

On the topic of our young forward pack. Does anyone know if Christian Welsh is being locked at as a possible replacement for Packer or ET?

Personally I think he would be a smart acquisition and seems to of recovered well from his knee injury.

Good player.

Frank Molo from the Cowboys is a very under rated prop he’s tough as nails. Fits Madgeball better.

Corey Harawira Naera is another that would make a big impact for us on an edge. If let back in.

Jack De Belin if innocent would also be a strong player to add to the team.

Molo plays well, CHN and JDB are different roles.
My thoughts with welsh was that he really could be that elder statesmen for us, that just hits it up makes the hard meters and does the clean up work. Kick pressure etc, all those things he does for the storm. And he would be a starter in our side each week. Molo in my opinion would be offering a similar impact to JA or TM which we kind of don’t need more of however if Packer was to finish up a year early Molo would be a good replacement for him. Welsh would replace Clark in my reasoning.

I’d take him but Twal is developing into that works horse for us.

Possibly,

Do you like Twal at Lock or would he be a prop again in your team if we were successful in signing an more ball playing prop/lock I.e Arrow?

Wouldn't even mention that mongrels name.

Said he would rather go to Syria than play for us.

A few of our players are better than him anyway - he isn't as good as he thinks he is. Will fit in well at Souffs.

Hears a novel idea - how about we loan nobody to anyone.

Well maybe "The Bludger" for this year as he is off contract next year.

Don’t loan anyone to the Broncos, wouldn’t trust them for a second

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Are there any other once in a generation players off contract?

The irony when we’re encouraging our club to try and keep Grant.

 

[TheDaBoss]

What about signing a past great to help develop our young players even further

Slimers got Johns....

why dont we go for Laurie Daley

 

[AJ1]

Ive said it before and will again. If Cam Smith plays another year, there is no reason Grants loan couldn't be extended another season. I know Simpkin is unproven at this stage, but when we signed him, there was a lot of noise about the potential and how good he could be. Personally i'd like to find out.

We wouldn't have to extend it if he activates his get out clause.
Simpkin does look like a great fall back option however if we could only move forward with one, I'd choose Grant. Too many promising prospects never eventuate, and a bird in the hand....

Some of you just don't get it. No one's trying to convince the guy to stay and screw the storm over. All people are saying is to impress the guy should Cameron go around again. He has a "legal clause" in his contract thats states he can leave and go anywhere should smith play on and do you honestly think it's fair for him to held back in reserve grade again for another year.

Arrow is one of the most overrated players going around.

Where does it state that he has a 'legal clause'? I haven't seen that confirmed by him, the Storm, or us. Also, IF there was a clause in his old contract, is it in his new one too?

Grant is a fantastic player and we got the better part of the deal. We got one of the best young players in the game and Storm got someone who can't get a run even when they have a number of players out. We should be grateful for getting him for a year.

It seems like quite common knowledge that he has an out clause and if I'm wrong I'll retract my statement. It would be a terrible business decision if Smith played on and we didnt make an attempt to at least make an offer. We definitely have got the better end of the deal too. I don't want to break any rules by the way, just operate within the legal terms of a contract.

I think we have opened a can of worms with this loan. Im wrapt to have Grant but then you have someone like Simpkins (or any young player) rotting on the training paddock, no real chance of playing firsts, no reggies to play in. Brisbane come knocking for a "loan", Tigers say know whilst Grant stars week in week out....Simpkins thinks..."hang on...its ok for him.."

I think it's one of those things that have floated around everywhere but I don't think it's been confirmed by anyone. I could be wrong.

Simpkin is only 18 though isn't he?
