Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[clontarfkid]

I would still make a sensible offer to Isaako. Kid is good with the boot, and would do well outside of Mbye or Talau. Our outside backs are starting to find their feet so he'd be a welcome inclusion and a million times better than Jennings.

Just a very average winger who can kick.Struggling to hold his spot atm....we shld aim higher if were gonna go forward


he's a current test player... not much higher than that

Big Mal makes some strange decisions...Matia(Knights sometime back rower)also played on the wing for Oz a couple of years ago,and I reckon we cld both out run him!!
Sure,hes playing in a losing team,but hes not exactly a shining lite

Sure does especially since Isaako is a kiwi test player..

Ooops..!
well Madge picked Benji as his Kiwi 6 didnt he...and he wont do it now for his club team,and his defence hasnt changed much since then....

...and he still isnt a shining lite for the Broncos..think he was dropped last w/e?
Dont like anyone picked soley for their goalkicking...a bit like captaincy selection of England cricket teams of yesteryear..

When he had a decent coach he seemed to be going ok

I’ve watched Isaako live a few times and watched him closely last year (I think he got a start 2018 tbh) and he is fast, skillful and can kick goals. Has been average since ol mate took over at the Broncs. He had all the makings of an All Black. Would be super interesting if he came over on right $

Torn between whether or not I’d prefer JAC or Issako at wing if the opportunity presented itself

Where to me it’s clear that JAC is the better quality winger, Issako’s goalkicking alone would win us games so it’s a tough one

Issako is an absolute athlete and has insane potential to be elite just can’t really show it at the broncos this season (do you blame him) but did in 2018, where JAC is already at that level but the risk of him going to Rabbits after the one year we have him would be a threat....

Curious to who others would want between the two?

I'd go Isaako. JAC I think will leave shortly after anyway, he did last time, he won't be loyal to us.

Isaako might be loyal. Isaako would be cheaper and still a great bonus for our team.
Plus as you said, the goal-kicking alone is a massive boast.

No point being torn. We probably won’t get either of them.

Check out Terry Wapi from PNG Hunters. Has good footwork and pace. Plays fullback and could play on the wing as well.

Would love some PNG boys they play hard and tough constantly at 100 miles an hour

But for only 20 of 80 minutes

You party pooper Gunner, we all live in hope.

I think Isakko is on about 450k at the Broncos. Doubt we'd get him for much less than that. Johnson and Isakko will both only sign for minimum 400k if we're lucky. With Nof on 450k they have a point. The storm could maybe get them cheaper because they're successful. We're unsuccessful so have to pay max price...

 

[Snake]

Isaako we should go hard for,Madge could get him back on track,athletic and fast winger/goalkicker and back up fullback if need be,Mbye isn't the answer in the halves and is paid too much to be a supersub,move him on to clear up some $,I like the idea of Cust as halfback(father is a mad tigers supporter)or another halfback to come in next season

I like Cust. One thing about Isaako, he doesn't score many tries. He would have a big asking price and I think we can find better value.

We still do not get it ... I could not care less if Isaako never scored a try .... a true goal kicker puts you in the semis every time ! No kicker = No Finals .

81% career average. His worst season with the boot is 79%. Mbye is kicking at 70% since joining us. Esan, kicked at 71%

Justin Olam certainly keeps coming on and on.

I care as there has to be a balance. Garrick is a far better player than Isaako and he comes without the ego and baggage of current Bronco NRL players. I have advocated for Garrick on our right wing for quite some time.

With Bellamy on the way out and no Replacement named, would players be willing to go there if they don't know who the coach is
They could end up with Steve Kearney, Flano, Toovey, Mary
Who knows

In terms of output, they'd be lucky to get what Nofo is on IMO.

With Isakko, his goal kicking makes him more valuable.

Corey Oates is on about 500k a season.
He does have a player option for 21-22 season, but given how poor they are travelling atm & the uncertainty of their coach beyond this year he could be tempted to leave.
Oates > JAC.

Oates JAC.

We need pace not another outside back come backrower

WE JUST NEED TO SIGN A DECENT GOAL KICKER- as another poster alluded to in a recent post -no reliable goal kicker no finals

I dont know how much ego the Broncos have now. Its probably a great time to buy a Bronco, they've hit ground zero. Isaako has been treated very poorly by Seibold and plays accordingly.

Very true, and a lot of their players would probably be very keen to get out
