Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3481523, member: 1899"] The way that I see it, Marshall-King was unwanted at the Bulldogs and was free to negotiate with other clubs. The Dolphins obviously wanted Brandon Smith but they missed out on him and had to settle on Marshall-King who was still available. If the Broncos saw something in him, they had an opportunity to sign him and missed out. The only players I'm willing to give them a pass on are: Reed Mahoney - Bulldogs junior and a key piece in Gus' vision of turning the Bulldogs into a development club. Brandon Smith - Even with the Dolphins throwing the kitchen sink at them he still went to the Roosters for the 'culture'. Api Koroisau, Josh Hodgson, Sam Verrills, Jeremy Marshall-King, Danny Levi, Jacob Liddle etc. were all fair game. Admittedly a player like Api would have blown the budget out and players like Selwyn Cobbo may have been lost to the Dolphins but clearly he was happy to entertain offers. I thought Marshall-King put in one of the best performances of his career. However he wasn't going to have the opportunity to play in the Broncos first ever game and we need to see how he backs that up. Of all those dummy halves, Mahoney was the one player I was jealous of watching and I'm sure Doggies fans are upset they don't have a fullback the quality of a Reece Walsh or a halfback the quality of an Adam Reynolds.
