Recruitment and retention

So moving on from "letting us" use Suncorp? FFS, just let it go. You are wrong. Accept the fact.

Queensland Government own Suncorp Stadium in fact the Broncos had abandoned Suncorp for more than a decade.

nothing has shown me at all they scared of them , gotta do better than that to convince me
only thing broncos have that is a weaknes very limited cap over next 6 years

The Broncos are terrified of the Dolphins. The boys in red and white finished above them in the standings in only their second season!!! That's a big red flag as far as the Broncos are concerned. It could happen again this year. In fact, the Fox League projector has the two teams meeting in the first round of the playoffs. What a matchup that would be!!!

The Dolphins have a very strong roster moving forward and could contend as early as next year. The Broncos have a couple great players, but a very average supporting cast. The Dolphins will be dominating them in the seasons to come.

Not for the dollars he will be chasing

 

[mr_c]

If he wants stay in league could see it. As knows all our coaches but I reckon he go to rugby

 

[mr_c]

Sounds like George Williams. Still on table even though woolf has denied it needs t9 get back to them by Monday. Abs was doing so today unsure if it be 26 or 27

This is set to become a very quiet thread. Now Cobbo is signed, who else would the club be interested in? Certainly not a forward. Who is going to make way when all the forwards out now come back next year? Nicholls will retire. Kaufusi is still off contract but wants to play on. Wouldn't surprise me if they try to move Gilbert on. Good player but clearly a bit more ball playing, Plath and Donoghue, suit the team better. Lemuelu, Finefuiaki and Keeley all under contract and all better back rowers than Gilbert. Then there is Walsh who'll be pushing very hard for selection in the NRL next year.

NRL will let us release Gilbert if we and the club he's going to make a deal. Why wouldn't they?

Walsh may just displace Feagai especially with the way his progressing and his ceiling point is much higher. Dolphins have got the best out of Feagai but he's only got limited ability whereas Walsh has lots of potential and still only 20.

Donoghoe suits Katoa and Averillo to an absolute tee in attack and he's totally fearless in defence I heard Woolf after the Souths game call him Junk Yard Dog when praising him in the post game talk to the players. I really see them three being the long term 6-7-13 moving forward and Plath playing the 14-9 role as he can cover 13, edge back row and dummy half in fact quite a good dummy half.

Keeley is really progressing well he's started the last 7 games and played his first full 80 last round. He's just needed an opportunity and he'll prove he belongs in the NRL.

I agree regards Gilbert. If he comes back and gets injured again. Plath and Kurt will own that.

He was in our plans but with Plath emerging as our best player last year and now with Plath and Gilbert long term injured, Donoghue being one of our best...... Too many locks, isn't it?

well think about it this way with , injuries ravaging us year after year you actually think they would want let him go , no matter how much you love plath , hes captain for reason he will end his footy here no spots insured but the fact woolf wants him as a leader shows how much faith they have him by mangement the only way they loose any of the long term injury players are medically retire them and i dont see it

Sangstar-Saulala Figota and Karl Oloapu be part of dolphins next year karls been training with cup side for over 2 months and sangster is kid from nz thats been in chocks system but was in our junior ranks this year kid can fly

Agree Donoghoe being one of the Dolphins best this year

so if plath or any of the other players with long term injures again next season get thrown out yeah don't think so , dont think woolf and the management , are the sort of people to end a contract early just because continuous injuries and more players coming through
