If fafita goes there next year they will have him and tino from storm and they already have some decent forward they will be looking a lot better than they are now

The team will be better but it will still be a dud of a club.

Francis Molo from cboys being shopped to the UK, Adam Elliot being chased by Raiders and dragons after receiving a dud offer from the bulldogs,two players that would really add to the team with guys like McQueen,Taylor leaving next year.

I rate Francis molo great player off the bench I would sign him for sure. Mikaele and McIntyre take two bench spots but would like to fill the other two and we still need better depth players

Elliot a good player too but doubt he would come to play off the bench and Madge seems to rate Twal at lock as do I


Cowboys are not looking at resigning Francis Molo and contract talks not progressing. David Fifita wont be at the Broncos and another player is going as well when he does. Despite Benji stating not going anywhere manager is shopping him around at present watch this space.

I’d be happy to sign Molo. David Fifita would be amazing but I doubt we get him


Fifita is going to the Titans - and heard Tesi Niu most likely will follow him.

What a waste.

Definitely. He’ll turn into Dave Taylor 2.0. Titans are a nothing organisation. No history, no soul. Nothing.

Well i don's support the Titans however they sound like the owners are willing to Tip in some decent $ and chasing some good players, there coach also seems like he knows hold to build a roster.
I agree always a risk paying over the odds we have learned that lesson these past few seasons and have been paying for it with cap issues as well, MADGE however knows what he wants be interesting if he can retain Harry Grant?

Well i would be more concerned if i was a Broncos supporter, than Titans as they signed a dud coach on a 5 year deal....

I don't like the talk of Benji being shipped around. Surely the best thing for all concerned is for him to fish his career as a Tiger.

Reynolds is going well at the moment but who knows what could happen over the course of the season.

Benji him self was on nrl 360 saying he isn’t going any where

I agree. I’d like to think he’d rather retire without playing another game for us, then play half a season for someone else for the sake of it. I wouldn’t be surprised if that would be his preference.

Quite like the outcome myself, as aren't we pretty well all complaining about players being stockpiled at a few clubs.

Yes he said what the fans wanted to hear but his manager is still making inquiries with other clubs to see if there is interest. Personally i would rather he stays and keeps supporting the Team and wait for his opportunity as it will come again.

If genuine we should refuse that release every day of the week. Reynolds hasn't put together an uninjured season in a long time. I think Benji will still be needed this season.

I hope Benji stays and helps develop the young guys who seem to be respondant to Benji,however if we look at it in the perspective of what Madge wants from the players,JREY has done the job rather well and the team is playing much better defensively …
Benji has been an absolute stalwart for the club and idol to many,many children over the years,his time has come to step back and look seriously at retirement,he has won a premiership,put the WTs on the map and repped NZ many times..
Madge wants to change the culture of the club and if your absolutely honest with yourself Benji has been the culture of this club for many years,his flambouyant style had fans off their seats and was praised day after day in the sporting media,he truly has been there done that,an icon to rugby league and the WTs ..
BUT the game has changed,times have changed,Benji is older and needs to finish here in whatever capacity,that will be his legacy,not his manager shopping him aroud for his 6% commission..

Its genuine i have a mate that is a players agent and he does not talk BS.

I don't deny it, but i'm just saying we should completely refuse it. He's an incredibly valuable back up that we will more than likely need before season's end.

All player agents would be full of BS it would be safe to say.
Benji would get a gig at 3 or 4 teams if he was really keen to get a game at another club.

We could always loan him out then take him back as soon as we need him?

We should loan all our players to the storm than call them back when they learn to play

 

[Fade.To.Black]

Does any 1 know who we are chasing?

Our tails.

Champions get to chose how they go out and Benji is a champion.

We don't inform a champion it is time to retire. It is simply not done.

Ii is good to remind ourselves that Reynolds is one game away from being an $800k reserve grader (again).

Personally have not heard that Fifita is definitely going to the Titans. Last i heard he was waiting and giving the Broncos time to clear some space.

IF Fifita does end up at the Titans, you have to give credit where credit is due. This is a team who have won multiple spoons in the past few years and are perennial under achievers. Adding two young forwards in Fifita and Tino with big potential to a young core including Brimson and Taylor is huge (If Holbrook can get Taylor firing).

The Titans and a few other clubs are also sniffing around Clifford and Drinkwater as it will appear one of them will be dispensable once Morgan is back.
