Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

The Broncos are the model for how the 'old boys club" influence/have power over a club. It would be fair to argue that the major part of their success has been largely on the back of a wealth of football talent - rather than effective leadership off the field.
The appointment of Maguire signals an attempt to take a different direction, but his window will be very small given the pushback from those not happy about the appt and the media that will be sweating on it.

You make a good point about the old boy club influence.
Maybe the signing of Madge is a change of the guard.
The broncos are going to be interesting over the next few years.... Could win a premiership or two... Could miss the 8....

I think they understood that aspect of his tenure and I think there was more to it.

I thought it was harsh, but it’s Queensland.

Seibs can give Madge some advice.
 
For me I'd be looking at moving those on who are contracted past 2025 as a priority if Benji feels their future is limited with us. That would be Bud Sullivan, John Bateman & Starford To'a.

Those who are contracted for one more season can be told they are free to look elsewhere but are welcome to stay and fight for their future at the WT. Those are Doueihi, Tumeth, Matamua, Feledy, Naden, Staines & Klemmer.

If anything it makes them hungry to either land an extension or put themselves in the shop window for another club.

Pole & Seyfarth are the two contracted for one more season I would try to extend asap. Whilst Faagutu & Sukkar also contracted for one more season are told they will have an extension tabled if their form warrants by mid-season.

So unless Benji has a man crush on him, I reckon To'a could be one that is easily moved on (i.e. attractive to another club at his full salary with us).

Pascoe could find a lemon and loved announcing their representative history to us. They would never play reps again.

Ask the boss, riveting viewing at the time but never aged very well.

My favourite episodes featured Tim where he couldnt hide his footballing senility.

Which is why I think Benji needs that regression therapy and exorcism to get him out of his Tim worship zone.

Madge is writing his book about us, it’s called “Spared”

Some people defended Brooksie to the end ..lol .. after 11 years here …

you gotta feel a bit sorry for him though …was not suited to play the role that they always forced upon him …good coaches would have realised that you would think …

Ivan realised he was a 6, and tried to get Nathan here to play 7, Madge on the other hand kept up the notion he was a 7, and tried to tell anyone who would listen that it's Brooksy's team
