  1. Big Pete

    OFFICIAL 2025 Roster

    So that's 27 players under contract for 2025. With rumours that Baker, Hetherington and Paix are on the outer, the Broncos would have still fulfilled their obligation to announce a 24 man squad by November 1st. With Black and Semu confirmed on development deals, I presume Trew is sticking around...

    OFFICIAL 2025 Roster

    That's where I am critical of Kevie. You re-sign Paix at the start of 2023 only to go completely off him mid-way through the season for no discernable reason. It wasn't like Cory's form dropped, if anything it was Billy who had some questionable performances up until that game against Cronulla...

    2025 BRONCOS: BACK TO BACK PRESEASON PREMIERS

    Good for Billy. That doesn't change the fact that Kev moved him to the bench as early as his second game and had him play the relief hooker role. If he truly saw him as the long term five-eighth, he wouldn't have made that decision and considering how quickly Billy transitioned to dummy half it...

    2025 BRONCOS: BACK TO BACK PRESEASON PREMIERS

    Utility, Billy wasn't the first choice five-eighth and it was Kev that pushed for him to play dummy half.

    Interested to see how Cleary handles himself against Crichton. That left edge of the Roosters has always been their bread and butter and once they start making in-roads it spells danger for the opposition. The middle is going to have to work over-time to ensure that Cleary is never isolated...

    Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2025

    My issue with Campbell-Gillard is his defence. He's not the most mobile forward, so players are able to get around him and he'll make soft efforts as a result. If the Broncos are going outside of the system, they'd want to bring somebody who can address this issue, not just sign somebody who is...

    Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2025

    We should probably have this conversation over in the NRL Player Movements, but I think the signings under his watch have been OK. Aitken is a solid upgrade on their current edge forward options and he's brought in McCarthy as the long term option. I like the signing of Humphries as well since...

    THE EX Kevin Walters

    I thought the responses were a little stiff as well. I wouldn't take it too personally, everyone's just frustrated with the way the season has played out and this is a topic that's been talked about to death. It seemed like time vindicated Kevie's decision and this is only being dredged up now...

    Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2025

    It just strikes me as a reactionary signing. It would be one thing if the club was offering him a lifeline, but from the report it's going to take a fair amount of change to bring him up here. What due diligence have they done? Why are the Eels keen to release him? Were the Broncos always keen...

    Ta, thanks for sharing champion. Not really happy with the news, but I'm sure others will be. In Marty's defence, he's run hard everytime he's played since returning. However the club desperately needs to ring in the changes and I just question how many more quality games Marty has in him...

    Yeah, when you start splitting hairs it's always going to cause issues. It's the one rule that until they make it black and white it's always going to spark issues because everyone is going to have their own interpretations.

    Would they have paid it if Fuller passed it on? Because we saw a similar instance in the Xerri try against the Broncos where Staggs turned in on Kikau and Viliame took out Reynolds. It's the same obstruction yet they decided in that instance it was fair game. Definitely a grey area and you're...

    Well done to the Knights, they took the game to an arm-wrestle and just over-powered the Dolphins. FWIW, I actually thought Bennett was smart with the adjustments he made to the team. The season was virtually over after going 1-5 and they needed to find their most lethal line-up. The only...

    The blood pouring out of Luai's nose left the ref with little choice. It didn't look that bad on replay. It all comes back to the error from Klese Haas.

    That's from Rugby League Project which draws from the ESL website. From what I've seen, it's pretty accurate. Way more than once? Which games exactly? Also what's way more? 1 more? 2 more? A dozen more?
