Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Would be pretty stoked if we got Joe O, thought him, Haas and Staggs were the only standouts in a pretty average broncos team.

???? He was/is terrible, the only thing worse than his form is his attitude. The Broncos are willing to let him go for a reason. He is not worth $200,000 let alone $600,000. The club is panicking & have learnt nothing over the years. I would rather see them go all in & extend Blore for 3 more years & wait til around June 30 as the chips start falling as there will be a number of players released due to what is going to be hitting the market next year & pick them up at a reduced rate.

Madge going to Storm would be a no win situation for him.He strikes me as a very proud and smart man and likes to climb his own mountain, not get in at the top .At the storm he can only go down.

Very astute comment and one i completely agree with

I know C SMITH want to return to qld, but who would be better?He knows the system and been assistant coach for 10yrs.

Whoever takes over from the storm has the biggest shoes to fill.good luck
Not sure if Madge would want that pressure.

Also,I really hope we hear some good news about Shawn Blore soon.Out of all our fowards he looks to be a class above.

Blore could be the only good thing Cleary did for us and he had to leave to do it

Most definitely!
I know we haven’t seen a lot of him,but we’ve seen enough to know he is going to be a top tier first grader.

You’re speaking with your heart here, not your head. You WANT to believe he’s that kind of person. In reality you have no idea. Don’t make the same mistake everyone made with Cleary. He walked on water when he coached us. When he gave up a kidney for his brother, everyone wanted him sainted. This is a business, these guys will ultimately do what’s best for them. There’s nothing at all to suggest Madge’s character is any greater than previous coaches who stabbed us in the back. The lesson I guess, is keep these guys at arms length emotionally.

Can’t agree, there was obviously some major underlying issues at Brisbane which was highlighted by the spoon...runs hard and can ball play. Obviously I don’t think he’s a world beater but he would be an improvement on what we’ve got for sure

His form was terrible last year - he doesn't deserve two clubs to be fighting over him. It's just that the two clubs involved are both in a position where they need to move players on and replace them with ones that need to make a difference.

Fair enough

I didn’t watch his early season play but I do remember him having a few good games towards the back end

Our very own luch wasn’t exactly in high demand either before we got him, and he was one of our best

So if by chance we don’t get joe o, siro or the other fella from the mongs who do we think we should look at?

Cameron Munster

I wish! They won't split the big 3. Same as last big 3.

Albert Kelly the next player to be moving over to Brisbane. I know that both he and Mead won't be earning massive amounts but if they're already in a mess with the salary cap but continue to add to the squad then you would think that something will have to give soon enough.

Again I could just be putting 2 + 2 together and getting 9 but it makes me think even more that Joe O may be close.

Albert Kelly hasn’t played FG since 2014. Absolutely shameful that a club like them with their resources could sink so low.

And their fans are excited about it.... broncos will get the spoon again. They haven’t improved their team at all and Kevie isn’t a great coach.

Yeah he's been fairly average over in England for the majority of his spell, so I'm expecting him to add very little to the Brisbane squad.

He's been in the Super League for a long time but Kelly was a good player. I don't think he's a bad signing at all.

Don’t see him making a mark on NRL first grade though

Maybe I misunderstood. Does FG stand for First Grade? Because I believe he's playing First Grade now over in England? Is the Hull team he's playing for not in the top grade?

Well Kelly was in good company at Hull nonetheless, playing beside Mahe Fonua and Gareth Ellis at least.

If we don't get Joe (Broncos) to play lock would Tommy Talou or Paul Momo be able to move and handle Lock. Both are Ball Players which we are lacking with Twal at Lock.

We have BJ and Roberts as first choice Centres.

Love to know Forum Member's thoughts.

Also is Kane Bradley a chance to play in the NRL this year?
