Tuiaki had a few more issues than achilles such as major cartilage damage to his ankle. But the achilles is a shit of an injury to have. Tendons heal very very slowly if they do heal at all.

Peter Wallace can and has played first grade as both 1st and 2nd receiver.

Losing Folau would rip a hole in our backline. Sorry but a bloke like that cannot be replaced overnight by your Gerard Beales and Dale Copleys. People bag him left right center, but he is by far the best back in the broncos side at the moment.

I agree but i don't see any solution (other than salary cap rorting), since the salary cap is in place as much to make things 'even' as it is to stop clubs going broke. I know centralisation (like what cricket australia do) of player contracts has been suggested for marquee players in the past...

I don't recall any other code ever actually coming in with an offer for Lockyer. On the other hand Folau has two confirmed offers of atleast double what he's already on. Think about it from a life perspective instead of a moron sports fan perspective. You have an opportunity at 21 to earn...

Does anyone really expect Folau to stay at the Broncos for $600,000 a season less than he could earn elsewhere? If you do, your an idiot. And if he did , he would also be an idiot.

He should have pulled his finger out and actually put some effort in earlier but its obvious he has had some other issues going on. He basically forced the Bronco's hand and when souths came knocking on the door with $750 grand i dont think there was much thinking about what to do involved.

Thats not much of a point to make. Players are in a market and if we decide to pay young players much less than their market value to try to keep their heads from exploding the next 10 clubs lining up for a contract signature will waltz in and sign them up on big bucks.

Im pretty bloody sure that Teo was given an extension earlier this year. This guy didnt cut it at the warriors or the tigers (some of his "efforts" at the tigers last year were hopeless). Why we wanted to pay big bucks to have a guy like this in the team astounds me.

How stupid of the club to put all their eggs in the Israel Folau and Karmichael Hunt baskets. Not to mention how much we paid blokes like Teo, Sims and Clinton. One thing all 3 of these guys have in common is that they all are underachievers who left their previous clubs in crap form. Yet for...

Hunt won't be back.

Its pretty evident that Civoniceva leaving had alot more to do with Wayne Bennet than Bruno Cullen. Read between the lines (well you dont even have to do that) things that Petero has said since leaving its quite obvious that was the case.

Why on earth did we let Boyd go and keep Michaels. I mean for one, Boyd can play center and do it well. Michaels does not know how to position himself at center. Center is one of the most difficult positions on the field to defend in, and Michaels is clearly struggling with it. As for Hunt, i...

Henjak hasn't got anywhere near a good side Broncos to work with as Bennett has had in this decade. Hes got Lockyer whos well past his peak and a bunch of bought forwards who aren't up to the job, add in there at hooker hes got to choose from a fringe first grade or a kid with little experience...

[icon_lol1. [icon_lol1. [icon_lol1. Sure he could. if your definition of a damaging backrower is someone who does 5 hit ups and makes 6 tackles a game. Because thats all you'll ever get out of Tuquiri. Hes a winger and would never have even close to the work rate required to play league in...
