Konrad Hurrell is rumoured to be shopped off to ESL as the Titans want to have a crack at Kahu..

On his day he's pretty destuctive plus I like his kind of :crazy

We already have Fonua…

To all who assume Bennet = players from brisbane.
I doubt this will happen, so the assumption above is unfair.

Agree. Players will be more likely to follow Wayne but it’s a hard sell to get anyone from the Broncos.

The same assumption could be made for Madge Korisoau contract is not done yet and Dylan Walker is being shopped.

Walker is a knob of the highest order , but I would learn to like him quickly.

Good summation, my thoughts exactly, and Manly would pay some freight

Tpj and oates 1 year at brisbane = bennett staying there for 2019 = Madge here

That's a shame! Two players that would strengthen us in positions where we are in desperate need and they will end up signing somewhere else with Bennett in 2020\. Sucks!

Don't think so, Oates is signing long term, and you can bet TPJ won't leave either

Correct me if I’m wrong.
But I thought TPJ grew up around Sydney.
Brisbane juniors are hard to lure out of the club but maybe being from Sydney he might be a chance, only with Bennet though.
 
You can look to when Wayne went to St George he brought in Weyman, Costigan, Jeremy Smith, Darius Boyd in year 1 and only Gasnier at the end.

At Newcastle year 1 Darius Boyd, Kade Snowden, Alex McKinnon. Year 2 BJ Leilua, Jeremy Smith Beau Scott, Faalogo.

St George were close enough and Newcastle hard to get anyone anyway. But his track record with recruitment outside of the Broncos is not as good as what I thought.

He played u'15s for south newcastle

Apologize if spelling wrong but Sione Matutuai was in the same side

They beat my nephews team Belmont North in the grand final

Don't know how long he was in the newcastle junior system for though
 
Other than Darius who did Bennett lure to St George and Newcastle who were in their prime and or up and coming?
You can always get a player looking for a big pay deal at the end of their career to follow a coach, but getting those who are on the start of their career are not so easy to lure from a club like the Broncos.

No mate you are right, born in Ashfield, played juniors at the Knights, but was signed by the raiders, then left for the Bronco's, but my point is Brisbane have the 3rd party deals and what ever other deals going on outside the cap, they never lose anyone they really want to keep.
Yes Hunt left, but they allowed him to go and banked on Bird, they are Queensland's version of the roosters, buy who they want, retain who they want, the cap will sort it self out. :frowning:
 
Young Hooker Starling from the Knghts will be here next year. NSW cup I beleive but with a chance to win the Robbie spot in 2020 and learn off him this year

Yes we have fonua, but if his form doesn't improve in leaps and bounds over the off season, he is about as useful and Ivans bus :brick:

I heard he was going to sign until Robbie re signed. Things must’ve changed
