Joffa will be in our 17 each week. Whether he starts or comes off the bench he’ll be there and will be a help to the squad.

Joffa was a beast for us last year, all heart. Shocked he hasn't been mentioned as captain, can only think because he might be starting from the bench.

I've just been thinking...I get everyone's different take on Joffa, but hey...here we are talking about whether our best forward is going to get big mins.
We haven't talked like this for while, so it sounds like a good problem or debate to me.

I've been saying capt mate, bench or not! Leading at training, on the bus, in the sheds, on the sidelines and on the field.

A first grade forward pack is not 5 players....it is a dozen players that will all have to fill in over the period of a season. We will have some impressive "names" in the pack for this year and that should win us quite a few games.
The problem will be injury and possibly rep selection. We have some bright young forwards who can fill in here or there but we dont have experience in the lower grades. As soon as we lose an Api, Bateman or Klemmer for a few consecutive weeks we will struggle, especially against the stronger clubs.
We need to start the season well and be 12-14 points after 10 rounds as I think we will fatigue come the rear end of the season.

We will find out soon enough if we are heading in the right direction. IMHO, fresh air has already removed that odour of rottenness "the same old", "we will never change" and "we better sell everything and close down" we were immersed in for too long!

Yep, I think these are 3 players in the firing line for sure. Can't see Nofo seeing out his contract. Seyfarth won't be renewed. While Twal tries hard, the newbies take his spot sooner or later.
I'm happy to stockpile good players.
Joffa was good in a dismal year
💯 keeping Joffa

I’d just wait a year no point loosing a quality player who’s in our future plans if we have already secured a his services for 2024
If parra season falls off the rails towards the middle of the year then we can start to ask for an early release

I'm sure we have one or two players we're willing to trade if an early release is contemplated (if Moses is coming). I'm sure we know which player(s) the club is prepared to trade and it may well be financially beneficial for the player(s) to go. Win win.
Probably the only forward in last years side, that would have walked into another first gde side- Joffa. Stef, Blore, Pole as yet have not done much, but show promise (how many times have we heard this ?) Then Bateman who played his best football years ago, and may be past his use buy date. And people think we should trade Joffa ! - Crazy .

I don’t understand this horse trading concept of giving up a player to encourage the release of another player?
Unless of course, our player is super keen to go to that club?
I remember in the case of the Moma/Laurie deal, we lost more than we gained. Moma left angrily, he was thrown out on the street like garbage. It didn’t matter that he was our leading try scorer, and imo, it was counterproductive to team building.

Nine News reporting the Broncos have launched a promotional campaign with the punchline that Brisbane is a one horse town. It is aimed directly at the Dolphins. I believe the Dolphins will be a very strong club in the long term. The Broncos are obviously worried.
Let be very clear.
There is zero club discussion around player trading.
The Click Baiter's are everywhere

That’s the first I read that he was angry. He agreed to leave fairly quickly I believe. He didn’t have to go anywhere. I think he made the right choice for him.
