Thought I saw a pic of him in a hospital bed with his leg in plaster not all that long ago. Perhaps all good for next year.

So TPJ is currently a free agent, he can sign a 12 month extension with us now, then come Nov 1 this year he can lock up where he will be in 2020 (potentially another club)
Im really hoping that isn’t what he is planning, but honestly can’t see him sticking around post WB.
If I were the Broncos it’d be a minimum 2yr offer otherwise there is a potential we are going to miss out on locking up one of our young guns.

He can't sign with anyone for next year until November 1. he has a dispute with his management company and needs to wait for his contract to expire with them before signing his next deal

You do realise that if it wasn’t for Bennett, he’d probably still be running around in Canberra?

He has stated all along he isn’t going anywhere and wants to re-sign with the Broncos and that is what this is about. How is that either dishonest or disrespectful?
On Nov 1 or shortly thereafter this will be comfirmed. The only uncertainty now is precisely how long this contract will be.
We don’t even know how long or for much it ‘will’ be at this stage. May well be only a one year extension. I’d say it’s a tad premature to worry about the one after this one...
The comment about finding salary cap room in particular shows that staying beyond another year is a matter for negotiation and in his case with no formal management, seems like a pretty smart move to me...

Yes your right now that I think about it. It was his knee. Wouldn’t have his whole leg wrapped up if it was his ankle.

Understand that, however, nothing is stopping him from signing 2 deals come Nov 1. He could potentially sign with us for 12m and also sign with another club for 2020 and beyond.

That's an assumption with absolutely no basis apart from finding a way to look at it negatively. Bennett is on record as advising players to do this very thing in the past.

If we win the comp next year, I reckon he will give it away

Lets hope so, then the likes of TPJ and Lodge will have zero reason to leave

That's gonna be difficult when Wayne is not even at our club next year. Wait and see.

TPJ won't follow Bennett. Where's Benny going to end up? Not Wests apparently, and he wouldn't go near Manly. Which leaves South Sydney, who might be a chance but why would you follow a coach that has 1-2 years left? Then what? Bennett isn't 50 anymore.
I'd be staying with the best forward pack in the comp, imo

Best we can hope for next year is that Wayne reiterates that fact to TPJ, stick with this promising young group of forwards and create something special.
