I know he tried a couple years ago, but I think if Corey Oates wants to be a first grader he needs to spend this off season eating lots and doing a lot of gym work and trying to move into the forwards.
Saw a photo of him next to Flegler and he’s 2cm taller and only about 5kg lighter than him...
How has this not blown up in the media?
Long interview, goes on to say how he wasn’t fatigued but had personal issues and that’s why he didn’t play. Says he left games early when we were losing, that groups in the team had falling out (likely due to Payne haas) and that he wants to play...
Has anyone seen the analysis by seibold on the nrl.com website? He actually did a pretty good job.
Given the performances south’s had, and the continued shit form we have had, I’m starting to think he wasn’t as god awful as we thought, and it’s more that our players are incapable of...
I always liked Kahu as a player and always admired the effort and determination to return from his injuries etc in the past.
But lately, since he left in 2019, and even now with his return, he appears incredibly toxic to the team.
Yes it's a business, but the Broncos looked after him with...
The NRL and media are constantly talking about expansion for the next TV deal. I have an issue with this, I am not confident the quality of players are there to increase the number of teams in the comp. There is talk of relocation etc. But that doesn't necessarily bring in much more money, as...
With the Powerball reaching $150 Million on Thursday, if you won, would you buy the club? And if you did, what would be the first moves you would look to make?

For me, i'd look to make sweeping changes to the heirachy of the club. I would look for a new CEO, perhaps someone like Tony...
So, at least officially, nothing has been announced regarding Corey Oates extending his deal. Reports were he was fielding offers between $500,000-$700,000 a year, wanting a couple year deal. As far as im aware, the only other winger on that sort of money (or at least the upper end) is Blake...
It's clear as day we are lacking as we don't have any leaders. Boyd, Gillett etc. None of them are talkative or dominant enough to be a good captain and get the best out of the team.
Do we promote someone from within? Or do we bring in a seasoned campaigner next year?
This is something i've found interesting for a while, particularly since Todd Greenburg has come out questioning whether there is enough talent to introduce another 2 NRL teams to the competition.
Todd Greenburg, and many others are of the belief that the competition would be considerably...
First things first, information i mention in this post are from https://www.nrl.com/news/2018/06/15/nrl-declares-money-will-flow-back-to-clubs-grassroots-after-posting-huge-surplus/
Now, ever since the big TV deal I have been a believer that a potential way to solve player burnout would be to...
Hey So I have on good authority that the Brisbane Broncos have changed their name to the Brisbane Patients.
They are trying to develop an exclusive top 30 consisting of only injured players. So far big money recruits Darius Boyd, Matt Gillett, Jack Bird have all signed big money, long term...
Okay so we are 18 rounds in and our spine is still seriously struggling...
I know I have been very critical of Darius Boyd this year, but as a captain he really isn't standing up at all. This has become a weekly occurance for him to show very poor levels of effort, and essentially no...
Surely I am not alone in being extremely disappointed in the direction the club has gone since Wayne's Return.
Now, first up people are going to say "He took us to a grand final in his first year back". Well, yes he did. With a team that he didn't assemble himself. Now I did not rate Anthony...
So last weeks huge loss was the tip of the ice berg for me. Darius Boyd is grossly overrated in my opinion and hasn't had a great season as captain. Against the eels there were several times where he essentially opted to not even try and tackle the opponent. One of these instances was when Semi...
With JT announcing he will step down it had me thinking how I like how he is going out on his terms, similar to Darren Lockyer. I feel like Smith is pushing it a bit. This had me thinking about Smith's career and would i be right in suggesting he has lost the most amount of NRL Grand Finals out...
What are everyone's thoughts on the Alex McKinnon debacle?
To me it seems absolutely ludicrous. I am sure that when signing an NRL contract the terms are clear and explicit in what the insurance payouts are, and what they consist of. The bloke has been dealt a rough hand in regards to his...
With The recent talk of Holmes and Taumololo giving NFL a shot, does anyone else think Holmes would be complete mud? He isn't that fast, and has the most upright stance i've ever seen, which is exactly what you don't want in that game... Surely James Roberts or RTS would be arguably the best two...
Have you ever seen a draw this tough? First 4 games against last year's top 4, playing 2 of last years top 4 in the last 4 rounds with Cowboys being an away game in Townsville. Not a single Sunday game which is awful for fans with families. Being the only team to verse last year's top 4 twice...
