Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Flippedy]

They need to win 3 more games and should avoid the spoon …. I thought that was a formality a month ago … but will probably come down to the wire

We are sliding down the ladder very fast.

The fact that Seyfarth went into the middle and was in a ball playing role indicates that someone is on their way to play in the right backrower spot immediately. Yes, Twal got an early HIA but Bird came into that middle position, yet Seyfarth was playing as the ball player.

Sione as the only prop on the bench and Sukkar coming onto the bench to come on at right second row, its clearly been a tactic the last two games. Sukkar on, Seyfarth to the middle rotation.

Richo promised external signings more than 4 weeks ago (in 2-3 weeks). Thats been held up and i'm almost 100% convinced thats because KPP will be coming immediately. It's been confirmed Dom Young will be going to the Knights in round 15-16 so I suspect KPP will be at the Tigers the same week.

KPP has definitely been mentioned by journos but Fifita definitely hasn't. I'm only fuelling rumours posted on her about a player of note from north of Sydney, probably QLD, coming here. Fifita would be my pick.

The entire Broncos squad might be on the move South. I watched the game last night and the players seemed disinterested and lethargic. No one wanted to really play against the Eagles.

We have now played 5 games where Sukkar and Seyfarth have been in the 17.
We are 0 - 5 in those games.
It just isn't possible to win an NRL game carrying 2 park standard footballers who offer nothing to the team.
Some of the efforts or lack of last night from both these passengers were so lacking of any athleticism and skill that it was hard to believe I was watching NRL.
I have said this previously but we will not win a game carrying the 2 of them.
It's a shame that the blokes who can play got us so close to a win. It must be heartbreaking for them.
Time to urgently try to get ANY NRL standard backrower before June 30.

Seyfarth doesnt win any contact in Defence and adds nothing in attack. I thought Sukkar has shown real potential last 2 weeks

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Seyfarth had a great game last night and it is clear Marshall has confidence him. Sukkar is a young player on the rise.

0-6 incoming if they're in the 17 next game.

 

[Ron Brodrick's Spirit]

On the plus side, how much fun is it to watch another Michael Maguire close to tears press conference.
The bloke has a team with attacking threats across the park and he's spouting exactly the same rubbish as when he was coaching us.
To any Broncos player reading this, here's a tip, coach yourselves and just nod when Maguire talks.

Watch his defence contact, never wins it. He is a massive target for opposing teams. Horrid player

 

[Lestronge]

The roosters wont work him and neither should we.

60 potential roster spots closed to his clients probably forever.

Then he will only be able to gouge out the eyes and steal the bread off the table of the rest of them.

I hope Bratfink fails miserably.

Hes an utter failure of a human being already. Its a pity hes playing in an era where we have to tolerate his presence.

It’s hard though , you have kids in your junior system like Phoenix Godinet , who you’ve had eyes on since they were 13/14 , and then they sign with your worst enemy when they’re 16/17 . You now have to deal with the grub .
Same as Bula really . He signed with Moses after we negotiated his contract.
He offers the players heaps external of on the field . It’s why they all go to Cove.
The funny thing is we just negotiated a new contract with him for Sukkar .
My guess is? He only does this shit , if the player and thier family gives him the green light .
The Galvin family are as much to blame , if not more so . Same as the bulldogs .
I honestly don’t think we miss much with him . I honestly don’t think he’s anything near the level of 1mil . I don’t see what everyone else is seeing .
I was thinking when Mason went over last night . When had the superstar torched a defence with him alone ? The only time I can remember is the eels game last year . Other than that , he’s been out through a few half holes and got an offload … cool that’s edge forward stuff .
When has he actually split the defence ? Since that 1 time ?

The Gold Coast is a rugby league nursery, yet so many great players who went to school there end up elsewhere.

Big time with Keebra Park , and the school that dominated schoolboy footy when I was a kid , Palm Beach Currumbin

What would you say were his biggest contributions last night ? His stats are nothing out of the ordinary… seven missed tackles

 

[JC99]

More and more obvious how badly we need a left centre. AD just offers nothing in attack anymore. Teams know if they rush him he doesn't have the speed or skill to evade then

Work rate and the capacity to cover for others in defence across the field. Seyfarth is valued by teammates and they want to play with him. Twal is similar. He is obviously valued by the coach.

Why is it the coach continues to select him and his teammates value him?

AD has developed into a very good defensive centre. Yes his running could improve and I'm sure once he regains full-confidence with his knee, we will see an improvement. I'm sure in the off-season he will work hard on his pace.

 

[Ron Brodrick's Spirit]

1) We have no other choice.
2) you don't know that.

He has got to pick somebody … his CEO leaves him with no other options …

Please don't ever associate the reliability of Twal with the inept, chook with it's head cut off Seyfarth. The Benny Hill theme should play every time Seyfarth gets involved.

Are there any “just average “ players in the team, or are they all very good?
