Broncos considering signing Aaron Woods

@TheDaBoss
???

They can have him. Has done nothing for years

Might get to play with his old friend Klemmer if that comes to fruition.

Deserve each other. Plodders 2.0

If we decide that we will not pay overs and invest in our juniors, or find talent that's second string at their clubs, fair enough but we need to surround them with better players then numpties like Tamou.
Finucane would be ideal. Preparation and experience. What's 50-100k more per season for the 1000 finals and grand finals he's been in. Sign him for 2 years, 1 more in his favour then put him on the staff. The way he plays would do wonders for our squad who just turn up half the time to pick up their cheque.

I don't think he's keen...

Who else can we get instead?

Just sick of plodders man.
Seeing storm play last night always makes me mad that our team is so poo

They're in a position similar to the broncos where they have a lot of QLD cup to pick from...

We've been making some moves in this scene too signing up and comers, Jake Simpkin, Reece Hoffman and Pauga.

Maybe we should align a pathway from QLD cup to the Tigers NRL squad, despite it being a state away.

Nicho Hynes, Scott Drinkwater, a lot of their depth cut their teeth in that comp....

Our cup team is good but yeah, Hartigan seems to cast his gaze across the world for recruitment.. let's tighten things up and get a QLD link since we aren't down with Keebra.

We've had some of our juniors such as Del Hoeter, Kurtis Rowe, and many others join Q cup teams... why strengthen them with nothing in return?

Good suggestion. Parking a few of our young NSW Cup stars in the tough QLD comp would assist with their development.

Melbourne has done that with sunny coast team for a while now. Has worked well

We need to do what the best teams do so we can as well become a best team.

It's disappointing not getting any big signings for next year but at the end of the day I'd rather sign no one than pay overs for risky signings. Our cap has been screwed too many times so just keep investing in the kids

Maybe Hastings and Gildart will be superstars 😅

Put Oporto on a string on top of a treadmill then he will get fit chasing after it all pre season

Jamil Hopoate is out on bail. He may consider WTs if there is no better offer?

Oh plenty of time and we've got plenty of spots available in our 30. There will be other big name targets to sign

This is his last season, isn't it? If we don't take up our option? I'm not aware if we have?

Oh god I hope not. Bad player and a bad person

We approached him about it but he decided to plead guilty and do the time instead.

Yeah he'd probably prefer a custodial sentence than two or three years at WTs.
