Recruitment and retention

[mr_c]

i be leaving that young kid hayward where he is no way is he a hooker

 

[Equaliser]

Word is they plan on playing him in the 7. Then shifting him to 6 when their youth comes through.

If I'm a player at that club id be looking over my shoulder. For mine it doesn't foster a winning atmosphere at all. Also, it is reported Galvin took unders to go to the Bulldogs, with Parra bumping up the offer just before he signed. It smells of salary cap rort to me.

We may have heard the last of this, but there is more to it then meets the eye.

If you thought Isaac Moses was a blight on the game, this Gould fella is worse. Not someone I would be proud to be associated with, would sell his mother.

I just don't think Galvin is that good. He takes the ball in both hands and runs right to the line before passing, which is good, but that's the only thing he does well from what I can see.

What does he weigh nowadays?

be better value than Tupou

 

[mr_c]

Value how ffs he can't get his weight down or follow instructions he just dose things his way map in 3rd division side. He gets less than most juniors in nrl dolphins will only. Get him back to mow lawns n paint lines he's on the bottom pay grade in japan

 

[mr_c]

If goes to France second tier he's on similar too

I think we can say the Broncos are in crisis mode. They won't sack another coach, not yet but a few players might get a tap on the shoulder. Only problem is, apart from Haas and maybe Walsh, who would we want from their team?
Mam had a blinder when it mattered most, in the GF a couple of years ago but apart from that one game, Kodi is consistently a better 5/8.
Mariner and Arthars are prototype wingers but on form, no way they'd replace Isaako or Bostock. And they are in the same boat as Hammer in not having the ball skills to be really good fullbacks in the modern game.
Cobbo is going to be fighting, and judging by his present condition, losing the battle of the bulge throughout his career.

Te Whare saw out his contract with Dolphins

Tupou is being moved on 13 rounds into a 3 year deal

Te Whare was better value and much cheaper

Haas would be a good signing but are props, even ones as good as Haas, worth such huge money as he will command? For that money, I'd want a spine player who plays for 80 min each game.

Te Whare had plenty of chances to get a new deal and failed, Tupo was and is a squad player who was bought to pad out a squad thin on outside backs at the time and hasn’t been able to grab his chance when getting a start. The club aren’t moving him on he has asked to leave. Unlike that shit show of a club you support who are telling players to leave because they don’t know how to manage the cap

Whatever Katoa is on just double it and make it his team. Halfbacks are rare to find and most clubs with elite halves develop them either making NRL debut with them or getting them from elsewhere where they barely got a game. The only exceptions I can think of are Reynolds who’s now done, Hunt who’s also done and Moses. Katoa is a franchise player.

He's under contract for a few more years and is already on very good money for his age. But true that anytime we can get him to sign another extension is good.

to be honest i have haas in hesrt beat theres nothing wrong inside of the broncos as it was said few weeks ago , the talents there but they all fighting for cap space , to keep guys they got to get rid of guys and there lies the clubs issues theres allways going see wrong guys leave / under presure to leave like corey whose having a blinder likes jesse n few others

Haas and Carrigan would walk onto the Dolphin's side. Walsh...meh....there's a lot of baggage involved. I'd take Staggs over Averillo as well. I know he has struggled as of late, but a new environment would do him a world of good. The Broncos are a shit show 8-17, .320, -115 (last 25 games). He'd probably jump at the opportunity. The rest....they have nothing else, really. Nothing that would benefit the Dolphins.

Junior came in a bit overweight as well. He had a bit of speed before his injury (last year). He has bulked up considerably since then. It's been to his detriment because he is now slow and ineffective. At least from Val, we got a two try debut and few flashes of brilliance after that. Junior has provided none of this. Neither are worthy of NRL contracts, but as far as value for 💰 is concerned, Val wins in that regard.

Carrigan is a good lock but that is the last position we need anyone else in.

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Taking disgruntled Broncos is a great opportunity being the only other team in Brisbane. It would be a recruitment policy of mine to be in touch with every bronco agent, and being kept up to date with their happiness.
