Drop israel from origin imedietly! Tate or taquiri need to replace him... israels made his big cash drapped bed... time for him to sleep in it.
On the upside the broncs at least would get izzy for the NRL pre origin weeks and we can spend his cap money elsewere, hopefully slater or inglis can...
Inglis or slater please bruno.... with falou and petro out of the picture now one of these makes scense. And either way considering hodges will be back fit id be probebly using inglis at fullback too.
Lockyer definetly should be rested... the last thing we need is him injured for the next 6 months, if thaiday or glenn want to make "apearances" off our bench or something then maybe they could play 30 minutes or so each.
Our halves combination for the game will be scarey... ben hunt 7, norman...
broncs can go wild on recruitment on one condition.... THEY STAY UNDER THE DAM CAP! if we ever got caught out like the storm id be shattered, id rather a modest team anyday over a cheating team.
bullshit... they had about 700K over the cap scheduled for 2010.... thats 2 or 3 TOP line players....and i mean top line marquee, i.e take out cam smith and billy slater from every game this year. It wouldn't even be the same team if they pulled under the cap.
4.3 mill aprox for your top 25...
Imagine if the cowboys could offload "ever-injured" bowen and pick up slater at fullback... (which i could seriously imagine happening) they could actually take a crack at a premiership.
EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC FAIL STORM
Ok heres my imediate thoughts:
1: how many other NRL teams are cheating around the edges of the salary cap right now? And if they are they must be right now covering all tracks and getting clean ASAP. There have always been rumours about the broncs mostly due to...
Rugbys due to pull over a anouther name NRL star... if it means we can sign up two guys like Petro and Stagg (wishing) then we're no worse off and possibly in front.
Its not such a loss if falou leaves next year anyhow his contract was a backended one anyway i heard so that means we pulled him for 2 years at a discounted price... the broncs left the option in because of this, they knew a lot of his money was tied into years 3 and 4 and if he left it would at...
regardless of who pulls halfback between cronk and prince i think there is a decent chance the bench utility spot may be filled with the one that misses out on the number 7.
Or is there a better QLD utility?
on a positive note its refreshing for the bronc's to come into games with an underdog feel... in reality we still have the ability to ambush teams if they get too cocky with us.
