...Robson, out of nowhere, has started to chip the ball into the in-goal now.
I wager he causes some damage to us with that if the ground is wet.
Cowboys are a really good side now, ive not seen a more complete 40 minutes from any team like what they produced against Canberra.
This will be a...
Great news - I get Lazarus vibes when he first signed from Canberra.
Not the same reasons though.
Lazzo was the final piece.
Patty though represents the leader of our forward pack, and a key part of the future Broncos spine.
In time, this moment will go down as a turning point for the...
Great way to start the year no doubt. Im not geting carried away, toguh test still await us early in the season.
It will be good to see Walsh out there eventually.
First win in Penrith for 14 years apparently?
Can that defensive mindset and passion endure all year?
6 straight games in...
Admit i thought the same, Manu is off contract, but probably wants fullback money to move..
Best is a high-risk/high reward signing.
Depending on how he goes this year, and depending on salary, he'd be high in my recruitment list.
When fit and locked in, he is the definition of a strike...
Yes, exactly.....ive no problem with Brisbane not bending over here....i think its the emotions involved regarding where he actually "went" thats the issue...
Anyway, heres a list of currently off-contract props and centres (including our own) for folks to mull over...
Also, speaks volumes doesnt it that the club did in fact get his first long term contract with us horribly wrong.
Where else do you go if your Brisbane but down? And why should Flegler accept that - he is after all used to being a $650K a year prop...
I think its time to take a look at...
Piakura HAS to produce this year, hes easily the worst contract on our roster.
Not his fault, he didnt put a gun to the head of Lockyer & Walters to get that money...
Cue debate about whether we let BOTH Herbie and Flegs play in the natural positions for the remainder of 2023.
Said it once -...
Well, good luck Herb, you've earned the right to choose your own destiny...you stayed through some shit years and still showed your quality.
He wont be the last to move between the 2 Brisbane clubs i can assure you.
I think he has to stay in the 13. We are, after all, paying him this year...
I want him to stay too...for the right money.
He keeps showing glimpses...but also makes mistakes which are costly.
At a minimum, this year i'd like to see the gap between those 2 narrow.
This is a big year for him though...
Can he stay healthy when the team needs him most?
Can he develop a level of consitency in his game?
Can he live up to his contract? At the moment he is under performing relative to the money paid.
At his best, he is one of very few genuine strike centres...
...it does make sense someone like Flegs would appeal...Manlys front row depth is very thin. I still contend though there is a price point with him where you're better off letting him leave.
Someone mentioned the fact Marty could be a good influence on some of the Polynesian boys in the roster.
I think that thought has a lot of merit.
Beside, 1 year deal means Brisbane lose little if that isnt the case, they can decide to let him go..
We are desperate to have another Campion...
QRL is going nowhere, they have shown their hand here and in a few years Ikin wants to make the change im sure they will still fall over themselves..
Frankly, to leave now means Ikin doesnt really leave Brisbane with any kind of legacy does he?
The club needs a few consecutive years where the...
Good resigning, hasnt broken the bank. This speaks more about Mozer than Paix IMO.
Brisbane are going to slowly build Mozer up to a NRL level hooker, having Paix for a few years means we can take our time with Blake.
Rather than push him into a role in the first team he isnt ready for.
These front office tensions need to be sorted out during the off season...and then some...
Im hearing, though cant possibly confirm, that Dobbo and Tallis having a direct line both into the club via KW and thus out due to their media positions is now becoming a serious headache.
Ive no problem...
Oh well...season over.....at least no-one came out on the field after full time and kicked a "baby ball" onto the field...
Oh no.....ive not forgotten "that" little incident...
