Interesting to see that Costigan wants to reunite with Bennett even though he was sacked from the Broncos a few years ago.
And apologies about the lack of content on the site in recent times. It's been pretty busy lately for both myself and BroncoKiwi. Hopefully we can get some writing happening over the next week or so!

As for the Lockyer one, he's been saying in the media he wants to see out his current contract, so I'm going to take his word on that.
Also, watch out for the Broncos to announce the signing of a dummy half in the near future. Not quite sure who it is though..

I tend to agree with your thoughts on the game, Manly will come out all guns blazing. The Dragons have got the skill though, it'll go right down to the wire I feel.

Comment by Jayz
Mate i know how it feels like to have some of the best players in the world leave the NRL competition to go play in the ESL,French Rugby or wateva. Not all players are like this though, look at Greg Inglis, resigned by the Storm on a long term countract. Thats loyalty.Also,we may be losing some of the best players of the world, but we are also gaining some young superstars from the Toyota cup U20s competition. Chris Sandow, a player once in the Toyota Cup, now playing 1st grade for Rabbitohs, who earlier in the season hadn't won a match, until he came along...
Just don't worry about the superstars leaving, they are doing it for their careers. Just look st the shining superstarts coming through from the Toyota Cup
Cheers Mate

Personally, I think the NRL need to introduce salary cap concessions of some sort for long serving players. The likes of Danny Buderus, Brett Hodgson and Steve Menzies have the right to earn one big final paycheck in Australia.
And thanks to all for scouting out some signings. I'll update the article where relevant.

As for the Tigers' new signings.. the only new players for 2009 are second rowers Gareth Ellis playmaker Josh Lewis.
They're definitely losing more quality than they're gaining.

To the first anonymous comment.. yep unfortunately Menzies is off to Bradford. David Williams is staying with Manly and they're gaining another Williams as well. Tony Williams from Parramatta is heading across to the Sea Eagles.
Second comment.. it's often hard to keep track of the younger signings as there's hardly any media coverage.
Third comment.. I remember reading about those signings somewhere - consider the article updated!

The only Eels signing of note is dummy half Kevin Kingston but they have signed a few fringe players and U20s.
Wests Tigers have picked up England international Gareth Ellis who is on show in the World Cup at the moment. Dane Laurie and Josh Lewis are the other two significant acquisitions.
And cheers for the comments folks. Free free to comment on other articles across the site as well !

Three more players have been added to the Vodafone Warriors’ 2009 NRL squad – one out of the Auckland club competition, another coming home after a stint in Sydney and the third re-signed on a new deal.
Former Pakuranga front rower Herman Retzlaff (21), a regular for the Auckland Vulcans in the New South Wales Cup this year, is staying with the Vodafone Warriors for a second season with an option for 2010.
And joining him are Tongan-born Ukuma Ta’ai (22) as well as Christchurch-born and bred hooker Lewis Brown (22). They’ve also been playing in the NSW Cup, Ta’ai with the Vulcans and Brown with Wests Tigers feeder club Balmain Ryde.
Second rower Ta’ai was signed after impressive form for Mt Albert in Auckland’s Fox Memorial competition while Brown, who started playing league with the Riccarton Knights in Christchurch, caught the eye with his efforts for the Tigers.
“Signing these three players is all about building depth in our wider squad and, at the same time, it’s important for us in development terms that we’re able to bring through players from the local scene,” said coach Ivan Cleary.
“In Herman’s case, we were able to bring a New Zealander home from Sydney and it’s the same with Lewis. They’re local products who have had a taste of being involved in and around an NRL club in Sydney.
“With Ukuma we have been able to sign someone directly from the local competition. We see potential in him and he has fitted in well since he started training with our NRL squad recently.”
Like Retzlaff, Brown has been signed for 2009 with an option for 2010 while Ta’ai has been signed until the end of 2010 with an option for 2011.
Retzlaff, educated at Mt Albert Grammar School, was with Wests Tigers in 2006-07 before trialling for the Vodafone Warriors and clinching a one-year contract for 2008.
The three players will be part of a larger Vodafone Warriors 2009 NRL squad which will also include recently re-signed Vodafone Junior Warriors Daniel O’Regan and Mataupu Poching. They turned 20 this year and will be ineligible for the NYC competition next year.

Pat Richards to Souths is just a rumour at this stage, whether it's even remotely true I have no idea.
I don't think Matt King will sign with the Bulldogs.
And, yes, I follow the Brisbane Broncos (the best team in the NRL).
Cheers for all the links, it's much appreciated. Please keep adding your thoughts across the site!

THE Broncos have pulled off the most exciting signing to date, with classy ex-Cowboys player Matt Sing set to link up to the Broncos for the 2009 season on a two-year deal. Having just returned from a stint with Super League side Hull FC, 32-year-old Matt Sing had been approached by four other unnamed clubs, but the Broncos won the race for his signature.
Used mainly on the wing, the former Queensland State of Origin and Australian representative is an ideal replacement for Darius Boyd, who signed with the Dragons for the 2009 NRL season.
Sing last played in the NRL at the end of the 2006, scoring a prolific 73 tries in his 4 years at the North Queensland Cowboys club.
'As a kid the Broncos were the team you wanted to play for as a Queenslander, growing up in central west Queensland they were my heroes,' said a beaming Sing.
He is one of five new faces to be shown off by Brisbane in early January, lining up alongside Israel Folau (Melbourne), Legi Setu (Dragons), Ben T’eo (Tigers) and Aaron Gorrell (Les Catalans Dragons).
They face the task of filling the hole left by the likes of departed stars Denan Kemp (Warriors), Ben Hannant and Michael Ennis (both Bulldogs), Tonie Carroll (retirement), Greg Eastwood (Leeds Rhinos), Darius Boyd (Dragons) and Premiership winning half-back Shane Perry (Les Catalans).
Sing admitted he first entertained thoughts of moving to Brisbane when flying home to Australia weeks after finishing a two year deal with Hull FC.
The idea gained momentum when watching the opening match of the Rugby League World Cup, realising just how much he missed playing in the NRL.
The most confusing question remains, where will Matt Sing play in a star-studded backline, already tipped as the most formidable for the 2009 Season?
Rugby League Analyst Scott Henderson believes the backline will most likely consist of
(1) Karmichael Hunt (2) Matt Sing (3) Justin Hodges (4) Israel Folau (5) Jharyl Yow Yeh/Steven Michaels.
Whichever players make up the Brisbane Broncos backline for 2009, this recent news is sure to set the punters into over-drive and tipping the Broncos as Premiership favourites

sisa waqa from rugby union's Shute Shield club Gordon......has been described as a combination of Greg Inglis and Israel Folau. He has power, footwork and speed. He has the shape of Inglis and the ability to run through people like Folau. He is naturally strong and very disciplined. He is a professional sportsman.''

I think he owes it to the Wests Tigers to hang around. They've been the ones paying his salary when he's been sitting on the sideline the past 3 or so years.

how old are you? I counted 20 spelling mistakes in your comments. My seven year old spells better than you. If you're that stupid, maybe you should have an adult proof read your comments before posting to avoid the embarrassment.
Sorry if the truth hurts but I am becoming constantly frustrated by the "what ever" attitudes and behaviour of younger people. (not that you give a shit")
Have you moved out of home yet while you still think you know everything?
I doubt it!

You're right 'a', it's very tough ask for the new team to take on the Rhinos first up. Quite a few ex-NRL players in both squads..

Rhinos: Ali Lauiti'iti, Brent Webb, Danny Buderus, Greg Eastwood, Scott Donald, Kylie Leuluai

Channel Nine bought the rights to the Super League last year, so it won't be on Fox at all any more. It's in more detail..here
I have no idea how many games they're showing or when they'll be on TV though. We'll probably see some more concrete programming once the NRL season starts.
And sad to hear about Kemp's disinchantment, he can always come back to the Broncos if he wants !

willie tonga says he's taking out Falou when broncos and cowboys clash now with tonga 183cm 98kg looking to take out Falou 195 103kg i say goodluck
also the broncos have offered hunt 1million over three years to stay at brisbane it is a good offer as far as other nrl clubs stand but it is nothing compared to the one million a season being offerd by japan it comes down to loyalty says bruno cullen go to japan or stay with the club who gave him a start when others clubs had no interest

Manly $1.20 Storm $1.45 Knights $7 NZ $2.20 Cowboys $4.25 EELS $6 Panthers $17 Bunnies $15 Dragons $3 Roosters $4.25 Tigers $11 Gold Coast $5
There you have it place your bets According to bookies Best bet Storm to win 09 comp at $6
My tips Well look im not saying these teams will win the comp im saying although i cant see manly getting beat if you want to have a bet on someone other then manly the Warriors at $9 wouldn't be a bad bet
Broncos at $11 are great odds they are more then a chance also Cowboys are wicked odds Neil Henry great off season buys i mean good odds they will go well better then you think Dragons $11 wouldn't give them a chance in hell but bennett i know bennett just remember the 06 comp Broncos had no chance yet turned it all around the most successful coach in history thats what the dragons have going for them

But dont jump the gun yet he may not play why heres why NRL CEO david gallop says NRL may force manly to stand him down for at least one match they even may force them to until court date dont think they have the power i didn't think so but they do according to gallop NRL may step in as early as tomorrow ill let you know what happens
Also according to police stewert could spend a min of 5 months or a max of 14 yrs in jail which i cant see cause really i cant see him doing 2 minutes let alone 14 yrs but dont wine to me and say oh i think 14years is a streatch cause it came from the mouth of the police they stated the time he is facing

Also fantastic to see some entertaining footy over the weekend! Hope everyone is tipping the winners.
In terms of the player gains, Walsh is a good signing for the Panthers considering they lack quality playmakers. Furthermore, I'm 99% certain that Liam Fulton has left the Wests Tigers for the English Super League.
And here's some breaking news.. the Broncos have withdrawn their offer to Karmichael Hunt! Here's a press release from the club:
contract offer to Karmichael Hunt.
Broncos’ chief executive Bruno Cullen said the Broncos were very comfortable
with the offer that was made, but unfortunately are not in a position to wait any
longer as Karmichael and his management pursue other options.
“The time frames were not suitable to either the Brisbane Broncos or
Karmichael’s management and as a club we have had to withdraw the offer
and move on,” said Cullen.
“I must stress that this does not mean that the Broncos do not want to retain
Karmichael Hunt.
“What it means is the club will now go about securing our roster for 2010 and
the future, which may or may not include Karmichael Hunt.”

But if you ask me i cant see taylor playing him anywhere but bench you cant move sandow thats for sure you cant move sutton no way and you'd be bloody bonkers to move luke i mean he is the number 1 hooker in the team no doubt wings best role is hooker but you cant move luke wing is a great mr fix it he will play off bench no doubt get him coming on when the big men are tired he'll tear them up

Bad news for melbourne storm fans with news that Broncos big gun Justin Hodges could return against storm tonight storm coach bellamy says yeah it is not grat news for us he was ruled out to at least round 4 but yeah we will be on hodges alert he will make a huge differance)
Kurt Gidley could captin nsw this year
Bret Seymour told team mates two weeks before drinking inncident that he needed help before he slips back into the drink seymour has had a problem with booze even before he was a bronco he told his team mates that he couldn't do it on his own and needs help its not him doing cause he wants to but it's an addiction
Ben ross has announced that he may retire after all but says if he does return to league he wont go back to cronulla
Eastwood blocked from playing for the dogs because nrl cant register his nrl contract cause he is under contract with super league
Locky pleads with hunt and broncos to settle down and focuss on getting hunt to stay in brisbane although hunt leaving would allow locky to rake in more splash on his contract he would rather be on far less then he is now it kept hunt at the broncos
craig bellamy says he hopes hunt stays in brisbane saying to loose him to another nrl club would be bad but to lose him to union would be heart breaking for the game (hunt will not go to another nrl club thats for sure accordng to hunt)
penrith refuse to let give wade grahem a release to join melbourne storm ceo says they are desperate for a five eight and would be willing to do a player swap he even said possibly 2 storm players for wade we need him

i get my info in different places i have a mate who does know some one who always knows things he maybe a sports reporter i dont know he just knows also i keep an eye on sport updates on tv internet i listen to the radio i hear things from people checking the websites of nrl teams helps but they only inform you of stuff thats know already so yeah i snoop around to get the scoop there are alot of rumors but i try not to write rumors unless there true cause it waste peoples time if there not there are unofficial nrl websites while they have alot of bull on there they do have some real deal scoops that the nrl and clubs dont want you to know right away but at the of end the day just stay here at the best nrl site around and you'll get all the news

no i dont think player loyalty is dead yeah why there are the $onny bills and gowers who chase money there are lot of guys who go from club to club for four reasons one there not wanted be it poor form or their just not wanted two they get releashed by team after team for off field incidents three personal reasons like israil folou who wanted to be closer to family and to live a child hood dream of playing for the broncos and four the biggest problem salary cap guys like petro one of the most loyal players in history who was forced out of brisbane after 13years cause of salary cap so no loyalty is not dead there are multipull reasons why players go around also you have to relize the amount of players going over seas is not as bad as we thought it would be at one stage we thought 10 15 20 players a season would flee but thats not the case yeah we are losing some but that will happen in all sports but just watch the toyota cup and you'll see the nrl is in good hands

It's getting less and less imminent each time I'm told - 'his signing is imminent'!
It's obvious he's seeking a visa and anything less would be a temporary and unfancied move for convenience sake.

the crocker rumor is something i was told about two weeks ago but i dd not waste my time posting it cause it was just a rumor and i dont like to really post rumors as far as it goes i've seen no proof i haven't even seen a sport report that even hints it could possibly be i mean even the most out there rumors get a mention on tv sport shows or the sport section in the paper even on the net i mean look at eastwood his contract with the dogs was mentioned crocker is in limbo right now cause of his visa so if crocker does go to souths or any club it would be a one year deal with an option to get out if his visa is approved i'll keep you posted if it comes to be but for now i wouldn't exspect it to be but it could come to be you really dont know
Comment by mr scoop
your right they say they are both 195cm but i did see the match on friday night and and i did see the two hug as they came apart after hugging they were standing face to face and falou was much bigger i did notice now i dont know if inglish is smaller then the storm state the storm may boost his height to make hm sound more daunting or maybe he is 195cm and falou is just a freak who is bigger then nrl state him as i dont know but falou was bigger for sure it may of been the camera angle i dont think it was but it could be

yeah it pisses me of when people say in the past brisbane struggle during origin cause of lack of depth they have always had depth it was just they did not have talented depth thats where their problems laid but not this year they have great depth look at the possible team they could field during origin
1. Hoffman
2. Michaels /winterstein/ 195cm giant Topou
3. De'vere
4. Glenn
5. Yow yeh /hewitt
6. Marsh /can play halfback
7. Hunt /can play five eight / georgiou (Assuming wallace plays origin if not slot him in at halfback
8. kenny
9. gorrel
10. clinton
11. parker (assuming he dont play origin this year)
12. t'eo
13. setu
14. mCcullough
15. Sims
16. taylor
17. mcguire
Now that is a pretty god weakend broncos team keep in mnd there maybe some players that dont play origin that you could put back in team i put marsh at 5'8 cause i think he plays better at hooker or 5'8 and ben hunt is a great young half back so bronco power broncos wont struggle at origin man & that is a rush job i could proberly improve the team

I've seen a bit of Ben Hunt in the Queensland Cup this year and he's been directing Norths very well and Josh McGuire has crossed for 4 tries in 2 games - a great strike rate for a prop.
But the thing is, the Broncos have both their byes prior to Origin so we've only got one game without the Origin stars.
Scoop's team looks good though but I think Kenny and/or Taylor could well play for Queensland this year.

Nice to hear from BroncoKiwi as well (I presume the same BroncoKiwi who wrote a bit for the site last year?), good to see you're still checking out the site mate.
I'm writing the round 3 preview at the moment, so that should be up soon. Also going to create a new post for Scoop's news and everyone else's discussion. So stay tuned, both should be on the site this afternoon.

so it is very serious knights continue warriors downfall it was only a few weeks ago they were the comp faves now they are being tipped to miss eight after losing 22 24 to knights
and no man manly finally win one yeah i'm not losing it they finally won one but im still a little concerned for them take stewert out and they still arent that crash bret won the game for them with 3 tries but yeah they still share bottom place with sharks it will be tough for manly in the coming weeks bunnies who are really starting to show what they can do then cowboys at home they aren't playing great but aren't easy beats at home then the storm cant see them getting storm nor Broncos at suncorp so it will be tough but yeah manly were not dangerous other then stewert can he win games for them week in week out don't know

Yeah i heard about poore i haven't seen anythng though he'd be a solid buy
Head is unhappy not getting a spot in the starting line up he wants to be a half back and has inquired about leaving if he got an offer from another club but its not a fact that he is going to eels but i dont see him at the dragons for much longer
There is a rumore jt dont like neil henry and some other players also are not happy with henry but jt is not happy neil henry is changing his playing style but it is a strong rumor
Bird yeah i did hear that one i can see him coming back but if roosters sign him ill question the cap cause they have too many big names that are soaking up their dollars Mason o'mealy myles anasta mini carney fitzy pearce aubbusson soliola kenny dowel perrit all geting big money so i cant see that coming to be

Comment by mr scoop
Dragons early season form looks good and are looking hot but remember their past history of crashing in finals finals yes premiership not sure but they have bennet
Broncos This team is gonna be hard to stop they have the best backline in the game they have some of the best young guns around and the forwards are some of the best going round finals 100 per cent premiership big chance
Bulldogs do have a good team very able to make finals without doubt strong pack good backs the one thing they have lacked is a wining culture a never give up culture but wth former broncos in the squad they have it able for to take a prmiership noddy ennis sherwin will need to fire though so too forwards
Titans they have played well but i would not give them much hope untill recently seeing them without prince and wining has got me thinking i could see them finals bound for sure premiership well depth has been a problem there forwards well not sure if they are capable of domnating
Bunnies They are a team who are capable of finals i think they can make the eight if they fire but sorry i cant see them takng a premiership my dad is going to kill me if he reads this but its true
Knights have been so mpressive winging with injuries but i cant see them wining a premiership finals yes i can see that but not finals
Storm finals for sure but i truly believe a premiership is out of reach they have lost to much fire power and their pack is not as dominating
Panthers are a team capable of anything they swtch on they can do anything they have a good backline jennings is one of the most exciting centres around finals are capable if their on song they could pull of a finals birth premiership good forwards if on song never say never
Warriors how the mighty have falling at one time the premiership favs now out of the eight a tragic loss in tate gone for the season now they will make the finals but i cant see a premiership
Roosters the most dissaponting team in the nrl such a strong pack talented backs and yet struggle so much i cant see a premiership i cant even see the finals for them but they have the team to turn it around thats for sure i hope they can you have seen them get smashed but you have seen them compete with the big guns
raiders are a dark horse they are a good young team who will be comp faves in future years for sure but now they can make finals they have proven that but premiership not ready
eels poor eels its going to be an ugly year for parra sorry eels fans but they have no half back dont say daniel mortimer he is talented yes and will lead them one day but not now he is not ready to be thrown into a team and be exspected to lead an out of form team
finals no premiership no way
tigers are good team in form but i cant see them wining a premiership i cant see as far as finals i cant see them getting their either unless they can turn on the form
cowboys well what a dissapointment the biggiest pack in the nrl getting dominated by smaller packs their speedy backs being out gunned as long as thurston is being gaged and restrained by henry well their season is over but if the pack muscles up their backs fire and henry lets thurston loose and lets him do what he wants then dont count them out of finals yet
sharks i dont know really they get a full strength team together fire they can make finals but it looks bleak right now
Manly one win and paul vautin is saying here they come well fatty i'm not so sure manly played below average against tigers a team who has been playing less then bad take bret stewert out of manly they lose he won them that game but you cant exspect it week in week out that performance by stewert was a result of four mounths on the side lines he wont play that way week in week out manly will have to step up or they wont win many more
thats it i'm sorry if i was not positive about your team but hey its just fact

Unfortunately I don't think we'll see any nude pics - firstly, it's a site for all ages and secondly, I don't really want to go looking for them.
To join the site you first have to register here. This will give you account on the Orble network and you should be able to have your own display pic and unique username.
And Scoopy, in particular, thanks for all you efforts. I know I've said this before, I've been really busy lately but I will DEFINITELY create a post for all your news, gossip and regular discussion tomorrow morning. So once that is up, all the discussion can move from here to there.
That NSW side looks good jim. Apparently the lastest word is that the Blues are looking at a Kurt Gidley / Mitchell Pearce halves combination. I'm in the process of writing an article about my best NSW side, so that should be done soon.

1 their depth they have reg starters every year except through injury or retirement for E.G Thurston halfback their back up prince cronk and more oppse to nsw who battle to fill in their positions evey year but wth that said nsw can win with the right team 1st they need the right backline 2nd they need to pick the right pack if they dont get the right pack they will get flogged cause as you know it don't matter how good ur backs are if ur forwards aren't gaining the meters and not getting the op on the back foot ur backs ain't gonna be able to fire the nsw team you will see will have a few suprises in it

Comment by mr scoop
1 Slater not as universial as hunt so i put slater at fullback
2 Sailor i was gonna pick boyd but with meninga saying he was a big prospect i couldn't say no the thought of the backline (Hodges Dell Inglis Izzy) such a huge backline bomb the crap out of nsw
3 Inglis given
4 Hodges given
5 Falou Given
6 Lockyer Do i have to even say why
7 Prince They'll pick thurston but id pick prince such a more deadly attacker
8 Price Given
9 Smith Given
10 Civoniceva
11 Stagg i know he plays lock at dogs but he can play 2nd row
12 Thaiday given
13 Johnson up in the air with him
14 Hunt more universial then slater he palys fb lock wing 58 hb
15 Hannant i'd pick him on form
16 Taylor you got to pck him he's big strong fast for a big man good hands dangerous raw and can score
17 Webb always lifts
Comment by mr scoop
1 Stewert he's got the skill and can score nsw need as manny point scorers as possible
2 Dave willams i just think the more big strike players the better
3 Jennings i have big raps on this kd he reminds me so much of hodges
4 cooper
5 Monaghan i would not pick him but you have to pick him to mark izzy alot of people say quinn turner but no i mean why not a grass hopper you know their gonna use air izzy
6 Barret/Campese my first choice is campese but i have this belief that you need a vet in the halves look a queensland with lock and JT i mean JT is exsperiance but is young com to locky if JT has a bad nght Locky has been there done that and can take control if thurston is off as to a younger guy who may panic so i'm not to sure thats why im leaning towards barret im not one for anasta he's had his chance
7 Wallace you cant pck anyone eles he debut for the blues was amazing nsw found their halfback that night his first touch he tore queensland apart they must pick him he lost his spot for one reason injury mullen pearce have had their shot
8 Kite he's got to be there
9 Ennis he's inform and better then farrah
10 Ben Cross his got a rough bashem attitude thats what nsw need
11 Lafrenchi the more attack the better
12 creagh he been impressive normally wouldn't pick him but blues have to do a queensland and blood some young guns
13 Gallen look i thought about sutton but gallen is big strong tough he is rough like a a player from the 70s 80s
14 Wing ignore gidley he ain't a utility his a fullback wing does it all
15 Waymen hes big strong and will trow down with anyone he ain't a bitch like a few other players who i wont mention
16 Clinton been broncos best big man this year had a bad last 08 was not fit being he played for a penrith out fit who hadn't played finals footy in god knows how long the fact that he played finals footy for brisbane got him motvated again remeber he had played for aus at the panthers they went crap for awhile and he he lost the drive he's got it but by moving to brisbane
17 mark minachello / luke baily not sure one of these two

Wests Tigers will welcome Liam Fulton back to the club next season. thats if he takes the offer..........
Tigers management offered Fulton a two-year deal for 2010 and 2011 in exchange for agreeing to play in England this season. The Tigers needed to off-load Fulton to comply with this year's salary cap..
Arana Taumata was sacked from his fourth club the Melbourne Storm b4 the season kick off this year...now get this thy cud sign him again.....Storm are close to offering the him lifeline for 2010, despite tearing up his contract..Coach Craig Bellamy has such a big opinion of him that he convinced Taumata to remain in Melbourne for counselling and work this season.
Provided all goes well, the Storm board will sign him up 4a new deal for 2010.

A player who can consider himself unlucky to miss out is Warriors forward Michael Luck.
However, Queensland chairman of selectors Des Morris said players who missed selection in the initial squad could still force their way into the Maroons team for the June 3 opener at Melbourne.
The final Maroons 17 for game one will be announced on May 26.

1 if he was staying and had no plans on going anywhere why not take the upgrade broncs gave him
2 If he was staying and didn't want to leave when the broncs withdrew offer and said u want to stay u'll have to take less money if he wasn't gong anywhere you would think he would of said crap im staying put but im losing money here quick gimmie a contract
you see he's going to union to chase big money he wont stay in nrl unless he cant get a union deal then he will go for the club with most money on the table the only way he'll stay at broncs is if locky can talk to him as a mentor

Cronulla's Trent Barrett ruled out of clash with Roosters...
Jarryd Hayne to play fullback for PARRAMATTA. Hayne would move from centre to fullback, Luke Burt would shift to the wing and Joel Reddy would come into the centres.
Jamie Lyon say Blues probably don't need him. They'll get by without me. That's the way I'm thinking.he sed.but he aslo sed "I'll do what I'm told, but Cooper and Jennings are playing some good football, and there's also Chris Lawrence.
id think thy wud pik Cooper and Jennings.but lyon is playin sum 0kay fo0ty. but u wudnt think thy wud pik sum1 that has came out and sed he dosnt wana play...
New Roosters signing Nick Kouparitsas has been added to the bench and may play against Cronulla tomorrow night. i wud say he wud..coz the roosters av lost prop Mark O'Meley. and thy need sumfn..
Comment by Mr Scoop
but at the end of the day it dont matter who they pick they are going to be a strong team broncos fans you must all be happy as a pig in well you know
at one time they were lacking in depth now they are drenched in depth backs forwards i mean look at who they have lost in the last few seasons webcke petro carlaw hannat berrigan barry & shawn casey mcguire ennis i mean the list goes on i could be here all day but yet with all the loses they still field a compition winning team yes compition winning team i said they will win it this year i cant see them getting beaten i cant even this far out people say there are three threats for the broncos the storm well the broncos have dusted them already this year it was a blow out but brisbane if u watched that match storm never looked liked getting thew broncos and look saints did pip brisbane but look the broncos were not on that night they would not of beaten brisbane really if brisbane had clicked and bulldogs are the other but they cant out score the broncos u seen on friday night what they did to para and on that night para could could of beaten a lot of teams they tried and were okay but broncos showed what they can do and what scares me is they were not that great brisbane they were good but they can improve alot more and frightens me izzy was quite gorrell was quite if that team clicks and puts the foot down good luck to team who tries to go with them
here is an example of how good this team is here is a team made up of players who have been kickede out or released or left the broncos in the last couple of season and its a team that could push finals

Storm over manly sorry i cant see manly winning this even at brookie i cant see manly making the eight without stewert i know manly fans hate hearing but it's true i cant see it coming to be
Titans vs rabitohs i dont know really such a tough game i can't seperate them i really cant home ground should get titans home but souths how do you pick against they seem to never say die gun to my head bunnies i dont know i have to pick so 'll go with bunnies
Broncos to beat newcastle depends on who drops out with flu remeber there are reports of at least 6 broncos on verge of missing game
Penrith to beat Canberra i like canberra chances of top eight but penrith i cant see them getting beat here they are getting confidance there young guns are starting to believe and they are a dark horse for this year
Dragons to beat warriors just warriors could get them but the dragons should get them
Bulldogs should beat tigers based on talent but i would not write off the tigers if they are the real deal the dogs need to win this

now scoop i was told by Jessie girl about this site and she said this site rules and how much she luvs u lol she said your her fave writer and i cant help but agree i've read everything u've written and im hooked as a massive broncos fan im hoping you will disect the game last night and tell me what went wrong how we lost is henjack the real deal is a hookers working i know u've touched on it before but really detail what went wrong i mean it was dredful i hope u get your own page
Comment by Jessie girls friend
Comment by Mr Scoop
Okay first i can tell u what went wrong but i cant tell u why it went
The weather was a big factor the broncos only two losses came in wet weather condictions the dragons match while it did rain alot it rained enough to make the ground soggy wich effect their style same as last night it poured and the broncos could not adapt newcastle adapted just like that they started to take one up hit ups and alot of darting dummy half runs brisbane they kept trying to go around newcastle and kept sliding over the side line they kept throwing cut out passes that would not stick in the condictions brisbane have always been solid in the wet in the likes of 06 07 cause of wet weather players like webcke petro carlaw thorn guys who are one up hit up pros they had backs like berrigan tate mcguire who ran alot were able to make dummy half burst didn't throw the pill around alot as to now the broncos have evolved into a ball playing team both backs and forwards throw it around more the ever they play dry footy and in dry condictions they are deadly but come a little bit of rain thats it it goes south and they cant adapt
What brisbane should of done was held it alot more go through newcastle they had the forwards to do so on the fifth insted of going trying to go round them they should of put up alot more bombs they had the height on there side as well as condictions it didn't matter if they contested them or not i mean u know izzy has the height as well as winterstien on newcastle i mean mcmaunus would even attempt to out jump air izzy last night but even if brisbane didnt contest the jumps and let newcastle try to take the catch the wet would of mad it almost impossble
As the hookers go mccollough is a kid he has so much ability he has a massive future at the moment he's a lot like the bunnies sandow he is good in patches he needs to stay on the bench Gorroll well im sorry he is not working look he is not getting the job done u look at some of the broncos most effective hookers berrigan and ennis they were quick of the mark they got the big boppers rolling they always caught the markers of side they were dangerous gorrell is not that type of player he is more of a standed hooker throughs from dummy half has a run here and there what is the answer
PJ Marsh here is why he's the quckest hooker off the mark in the game he's small 5'8 70 80kg frame allows him to dart through the defenssive wall he gets the meters we need he a fr halfback five eight he has ball skills you must relise gorrell is approaching 30 he has never been quick he is a good player but he's not a game winner
okay as far as henjack goes look he is different to bennet thats for sure bennet but he's done good i mean they are still comp faves after last night they are still on top of ladder as last night so he's a good coach as it stands now the one thing that gets me is the way he don't like change a team that strikes me bennet would change a squad like that henjack dont marsh perfect eg i dont know why he wont put him in the team despite him being fit and gorrell not stepping up Teo has been their best buy best on field player and defender he was injured but has been fit for two weeks acooroding to nine reports yet has been left out parker should be in second row setu should be at lock but hooker they need a hooker marsh i dont think he'll get a start ever again he'll end up going some where eles i will say that they have some good players waiting in the wings yow yeh topou man that toupo is a prospect 196cm he's only 90 odd kg but if i was henjack id sign this freak up long term get him in the gym get him up to 100 plus kg think about that two broncos wingers that are 195 & 196cm and well over 100kg scary huh

Wallace won the No.7 jersey battle with NSW Origin incumbent Mitchell Pearce for selection in the City side with coach John Cartwright confirming Blues selectors asked for the Brisbane halfback to play the game ahead of the Roosters star.
South Sydney 32-year-old Luke Stuart was a shock selection for his City debut at prop while fullback Wade McKinnon and interchange players Craig Wing, Shane Shackleton and Adam Cuthbertson were other surprise selections.
Penrith's Michael Jennings and Wests Tigers Chris Lawrence were named in the City centres but both remain under injury clouds after sustaining ankle injuries for their club sides over the weekend.
Manly centre Jamie Lyon was picked for the Country side despite previously asking to be left out of all representative sides this year.
St George Illawarra props Michael Weyman and Justin Poore were as expected picked for their Country debuts, along with Bulldogs hooker Michael Ennis.
Mullen was named at halfback, ahead of Cronulla's Trent Barrett, while Terry Campese will play five-eighth.
Bulldogs captain Andrew Ryan has been named skipper of the Country side.

The call up came as Dragons centre Matt Cooper was ruled out with a hip flexor injury along with Newcastle backrower Steve Simpson, who has a knee injury.
Wests Tigers backrower Chris Heighington has been called in as Simpson's replacement, while the St George Illawarra centre Beau Scott has been elevated from 18th man to fill Cooper's boots.
Country officials expect Raiders outside back Joel Monaghan - on test standby for the Dragons' Darius Boyd - to be available.
Sika Manu replaces Frank Pritchard in New Zealand Test squad..Penrith forward Pritchard was officially ruled out on Monday with a neck complaint.
Souths' Luke Stuart becomes NRL's oldest representative debutant..Oldest rep debuts (1987-2009)
Luke Stuart 32 and 73 days City Origin (2009)
Scott Sattler 31 and 194 days Queensland (2003)
Danny Nutley 31 and 152 days Queensland (2005)
Dean Lance 31 and 21 days Country Origin (1990)
Corey Hughes 30 and 74 days City Origin (2008)
Mark O'Meley called in to replace Adam Cuthbertson in City Origin side..O'Meley will replace Cuthbertson on the interchange bench after the Sea Eagles forward was ruled out with a elbow injury .But in a boost to the City side, centres Michael Jennings and Chris Lawrence have both passed medicals and been cleared to play.
Both players had scans on ankle injuries on Monday and were cleared of serious injury.

Matthew Mundine is a better five-eighth than John Sutton and always will be. Mundine just needs to shed the Kilos and work on his defence and he will be a star in this country.
Buying Finch is a quick-fix, we should be showing faith in our Juniors and look for a long-term replacement. Why risk one of our junior stars leaving because we are showing faith in a hack.
What's the point of having Sutton at five-eighth now if Next year Mundine might crack the NRL. Sutton at five-eighth is merely a short-term thing, so why rid Wing of a chance there because Wing is clearly a prototype of what a five-eighth should be and the skills he possesses. Wing would be the best five-eighth in the competition imo. Just look back to the Bulldogs game last year for clarification.
Sutton is too slow, has no running game and his offloads aren't as unpredictable as they were.

If you do the math you will see why henjack the broncos and their fans a fumming the score ended up being 22 20 right if you take away the trie were jamie lyon did not ground the ball with his hand arm or even chest he had no control at all it was a no try according to the rule book so now what they are now saying is if u ground the ball with ur tongue it's a try take that try away its manly 16 broncos 20 you take away manlys other try where jamie lyon battered the ball forward which is illegal it should of been no try take away that try 10 20 then you add the broncos try which was called back as a forward pass which many nrl commentators state as not forward that makes it 10 to 26 then throw in the most repulsive no try i've seen when manly spilt the pill it was cleanly scooped up by the broncos not sure what player it was at the time he was on his way unmarked under the post it was called back for a scrum if you know anything about ruby league u know if it is knocked on by a team the other team if it is scooped up cleanly gets to play on or an advantage yet it was called back and in turn robbed the broncos of a try that makes it 10 32 broncos win
Now manly fans will say that the forward pass was forward ok it wasn't but ok lets say it was take it away 10 to 26 Broncos still win all in all the broncos fans have every right to be outraged
2nd queston
Hell yes video refs have to go look if the on field ref makes a bad call i can live with that he has one look live and has split second to make a decision if he makes the right call good if he makes the wrong call you may be ticked but you can except it that he has a split second to make a decision and you know he's human mistakes are made Video refs on the other hand no they have no excusses they have 100 freaking replays to veiw they watch it in real time fast mode they slow it down they go frame by dame frame they have side angles above angles behind angles im suprised they dont have a crotch angle they have all the added things to work with opposed to the on field refs yet they constintly get it wrong so hell yes they have to go i say go back to the old style of ref its your call i mean surley between two on field refs and two touch judges they can get it right and even if they get it wrong at least you can say well its all blurry i can understand how they may miss it oppose to some clown upstairs taking an hour to study a try then getting it wrong anyway
But thats just scoops opinion you may disagree

Scott Prince to play but Titans lose Luke Bailey for Broncos game...After losing Anthony Laffranchi to suspension as wel...Scott Prince (hamstring) trained and will play his 200th game while fellow playmaker Preston Campbell (hamstring) also got through the session.
Brad Meyers comes into the Titans pack in place of Bailey while Luke O'Dwyer takes Laffranchi's back-row spot.
With bench forward Aaron Cannings ruled out with a knee injury, Titans coach John Cartwright has dropped utility Josh Graham back to the bench and Esi Tonga to start in the centres.
The news was better for the Broncos with fullback Karmichael Hunt and centre Justin Hodges turning out to train on Thursday.
While Hunt seems to have recovered from a corkd thigh, Hodges (hamstring) failed to complete the session and will be re-assessed in on Friday morning, with young centre Alex Glenn on standby.
Broncos coach Ivan Henjak said given the nature of Hodges's injury and the fact it only happened,he was never going to do the whole session.

SOUTH Sydney will not be stripped of any competition points despite a "minor" 14-man breach in ther win over the Wests Tigers.The Rabbitohs could still be fined by the NRL after halfback Chris Sandow ran on to collect a football that had rolled onto the field of play late in the game.
Sandow, who had been taken from the field with an ankle injury, was practising his drop kicking so he could return to play if the game was sent into extra-time when the incident occurred.
and this one is a joke serious....the NRL has fined the titans $5,000 after hooker Nathan Friend was wearing headgear featuring the logo for his personal training business after the NRL issued a breach notice. They have five working days to respond but Gold Coast managing director Michael Searle had indicated that Friend would be asked to cough up the cash.It is believed Friend was told by Titans officials not to wear the headgear before running out at Suncorp Stadium.

Comment by jim-23q
NRL Director of Media and Communications, John Brady, confirmed a positive 'A' sample had been returned by Maitua.
"Maitua has the right to waive the 'B' sample and move to an expedited hearing or wait until the 'B' Sample is confirmed, at which point the NRL will again offer the opportunity to expedite the process," Brady said.
"Under both the World Anti-Doping Authority Code and the NRL Anti Doping Policy, a player is subject to a provisional suspension upon notification of the 'A' Sample."
Brady said the NRL was not in a position to give any further detail in relation to the test.
Clenbuterol is on the World Anti-Doping Agency's Prohibited List, with a doping offence in relation to its use leading to a possible two-year ban.

and Wests Tigers captain Robbie Farah still in doubt for the with the Broncos..Farah had a light run this morning and Tigers officials will monitor his progress throughout the day after he was knocked unconscious in last week's loss to South Sydney.John Morris is likely to slot in at hooker should Farah withdraw, with Tim Moltzen moving to five-eighth and Rhys Hanbury coming into the side at fullback.
Farah has been dogged by headaches and dizziness..so thy wudnt wana risk him..but it wil be a big loss for the tigers shuld thy lose him....
stil on the tigers its been reported that John Morris has signed a deal with a ESL club...tigers deny...
Nathan Cayless ruled out of tonight's clash with South Sydney due to concussion, adding to the earlier loss of halves Feleti Mateo and Kris Keating. However, the Eels did receive one boost, with winger Eric Grothe to make his return from injury..weather he play for the eels..all goes to nsw cup iidk...we wil c on that...
Coach Daniel Anderson was undecided whether to pitch Daniel Mortimer into his debut.
Chris Sandow (ankle) has been ruled out.....
Grant Millington is the likely replacement against St George Illawarra for Reni Maitua
Melbourne winger Anthony Quinn may make a return against the Bulldogs.
The Roosters' Toyota Cup captain, Tom Symonds, has been added to an 18-man squad, with doubts continuing over the fitness of Shane Shackleton (thigh) and Mitchell Pearce (back).
Canberra captain Alan Tongue is struggling to prove his fitness after a wrist injury before Sunday's clash with the Warriors..Centre Justin Carney is also in doubt with a sternum injury, with Jarrod Croker and Phil Graham on stand-by to play in his place.
Cowboys back-rower Scott Bolton is likely to play against Newcastle on Monday night after overcoming a shoulder injury. Steve Rapira remains on stand-by for him.
Knights centre Adam MacDougall is likely to require an arthroscopy, ruling him out for several weeks. Wes Naiqama has been training with the team and could make a return.

it has been reported that the tigers hav signed Arana Taumataa.The NRL has been paying for counselling sessions for Taumata, but chief executive David Gallop stressed it was unlikely they would register him this season.
"We've actually been assisting him financially in funding some courses that he's been attending,'' Gallop said. "If we're satisfied that he's made some inroads into his issues then we would consider registering him for 2010.''
Taumata has been axed by the Broncos, Roosters, Bulldogs and Melbourne for off-field issues. the tigers deny that they are in tlks with him.If the Tigers do come to terms with Taumata, the five-eighth could be used off the bench as a utility.
Parramatta centre Krisnan Inu has been told to stop smiling when he's on the field by Eels coach Daniel Anderson... yes wel that wots been reported...haha....hw stupid... =]
Inu has been told he must harden up to avoid showing signs of weakness to the opposition. And the rumours that Inu is unhappy at the Eels won't go away. Several clubs are keen to get him if he is not happy ther.
DRAGONS prop Justin Poore will make a decision on his future within 2weeks. He sed he wanted to get past the match with Cronulla, who are after his signature, before making a decision. The Eels are also after Poore, but Daniel Anderson believes he can get the Roosters' Shane Shackleton as well..
the dragons hav shown intrest in signing CANBERRA Raiders giant Tom Learoyd-Lahrs for 2010..but he is expected to sign a new two year deal with the raiders...

yea luke lewis is 18th man but coach Craig Bellamy says he wil kum in the side if Glenn Stewart is out suspended all Paul Gallen cnt play due to a shoulder injury... Missing from last year are Monaghan, Cooper, Quinn, Anasta, Pearce, Mason, White, Fitzgibbon, Hoffman, Cross, Laffranchi and Tupou.
I agree with just about every selection – apart from maybe Terry Campese at five-eighth. I would have gone for Jarred Mullen.
James McManus is another selection on the wing that may hav been a suprise to people. I think the Dragons’ Brett Morris is a better player. So is The Wolfman at Manly.Probably Anthony Watmough is the biggest surprise omission. and Laffranchi...
But overall I think it’s a great side.

Tony Archer and Shayne Hayne have been appointed to control the opening State of Origin..with Bill Harrigan and Tim Mander, the video referees..lets hope everyone is not talking bout the refs agen after this one haha .....
Anthony Mundine believes Cronulla captain Paul Gallen deserved a 10-match suspension on top of the $10,000 fine the NRL has imposed for an alleged racial comment directed at Dragons forward Mickey Paea....NRL chief executive David Gallop has stood by the decision to issue Paul Gallen a $10,000 breach notice despite the under-fire Sharks captain not being given a chance to defend himself against allegations that he made a racial slur...Gallen is likely to contest the fine...stil on the sharks,Gallop has sed he is happy with the out come of the meeting he had with the club...and says the club has came a long waii.....
Preston Campbell says nothing wrong with Matt Orford tackle that cost manly a win on the weekend..
Dragons winger Brett Morris is likely make up his mind wher he wil b next yr..Brett has been linked with the Bulldogs and he met coach Kevin Moore last week to discuss joining the club.. The Sharks have also held talks..

Stewart has pleaded not guilty plea to a dangerous throw on Gold Coast five-eighth Mat Rogers in Manly's loss to the Titans.
He is facing a one-match ban, which would rule him out of the Origin clash with Queensland unless he can beat the charge.
Stewart is the only player contesting his charge, with the six others charged all entering early guilty pleas.
Of those six, only two have received suspensions with Parramatta centre Krisnan Inu rubbed out for two games and Melbourne winger Anthony Quinn to miss the round-13 match against Brisbane.
Inu received a grade two charge for a dangerous throw in Friday's 16-all draw against South Sydney, while Quinn received a contrary conduct charge.
Sydney Roosters forward Willie Mason (dangerous contact), Sea Eagles prop Jason King (dangerous contact), Canberra's Jarrod Croker (dangerous throw) and Wests Tiger Gareth Ellis (dangerous contact) all escaped suspension with early pleas..
The Titans have received some good news with scans clearing forward Mark Minichiello of a serious ankle injury.
It was feared he could miss the rest of the season.
But scans hav cleared him of serious ligament damage to his syndesmosis, an injury which can take two to three times longer than an ankle sprain to heal.
Minichiello could even be fit to play for the Titans in their next game against the Dragons, with a bye this weekend.

Blues coach Craig Bellamy said Gallen must show signs of improvement in his shoulder injury otherwise he will be ruled out of the clash..Bellamy said there would be "five or six" players who will miss the session including skipper Kurt Gidley (knee).
However Gallen is the only fitness concern for the game and Bellamy won't take any risks if the Cronulla forward doesn't show significant improvement before the weekend.
Anthony Laffranchi say he has n0 hard feelings on Origin snub....

ther been reports that sharks officials have already decided to strip Gallen of the captaincy but will wait until after the Origin game next Wednesday night to tell him to his face.At this stage, no decision has been made on a new skipper if he dose lose it. but it is expected to rest between Trent Barrett, Reece Williams, Luke Covell or Luke Douglas.
TERRY Campese spent his first day as NSW's five-eighth confirming he would remain in league the rest of his life.There were whispers of interest from Japanese rugby.but he is now poised to sign a long term deal with the raiders..
MANLY coach Des Hasler has called for a "captain's challenge" to be introduced into rugby league.and i agree..i was only speaking to sum1 the other day in the nrl bout this and they sed yea it a good thing givn the refereeing decision latley..if ther was to b Each captain can make two challenges per game against a decision by the dominant referee.The challenges would be decided by the video referee. *
"The challenges would be decided by the video referee."
The challenge system has been utilised in tennis grand slam events for the past couple of years, where players can question umpire and linesman calls which are then reviewed by the Hawkeye system.
NRL chief operating officer Graham Annesley said Wests Tigers coach Tim Sheens proposed the captain's challenge in 2007 but it didn't receive much support.
"We're happy to put it back on the agenda and, who knows, maybe some attitudes may have changed," he said.
Hasler said Tony Archer should have been the controlling referee at such a crucial time on Sunday, not Cecchin. "The referees were in the wrong position at such a critical time of the game," he said.
WIGAN powerbroker Ian Lenagan has been busy lol. After watching Mark O'Meley play in Penrith on Saturday night, thn Carl Webb for the Cowboys
Wigan money man Lenagan is intent on leaving Australia with a prop and a playmaker to replace homesick half Tim Smith..Tim Smith is back ryt nw due 2family reasons and wigan say they wil giv him as mch tym as he need...Smith wnts 2play in the NRL nxt yr..

He was on a one year deal and was not in the clubs future plans he was approached by David Niu from the Aston DSC Bulls to play out the rest of the season over in America, Koopu said " It's a new experience to play in America and im looking forward to the challenge ." He brings alot of experience to the team being a former New Zealand International and having played over 50 games for the Warriors and spent some time at the Melbourne Storm. Niu said alot of players are interested in coming to the AMNRL Competitions so far they have Luke Hume#Cronulla Sharks Toyota Cup 2008 player# in New York, Daniel Wagon#Former Queensland Origin, Australian International, Parramatta Eels and St George Illawarra# at Philadelphia, Sean Rugtgerson #Former South African International,North Sydney, Canberra and Salford City Reds# at Jacksonville and Justin Smith#North Queensland Cowboys and South Sydney Rabbitohs# the AMNRL also have alot of Australian players with lower grades experience in Australia, New Zealand, England and France.

also i've been busy as of late and i can say that chase stanley has told the dragons he wants out and he will sign with the storm he is seen as the perfect replacement for finch who the storm have said is going he is not a part of their plans for 2010 and also michael monaghan is on his way back to nrl according to a brittish sport report he has been linked with cronulla parra but their are other teams in interested no doubt it is exspected that he will return in 2010 or 2011 unless his current club overseas offers a big reason to stay $$$ if u catch my drift

CRAIG Bellamy is on the verge of standing down as NSW coach....
Parramatta`s Albert Kelly has signed with the sharks.Kelly - the cousin of Greg Inglis - ignored interest from Melbourne, Wests Tigers, the Bulldogs, Gold Coast and Parramatta to sign a two-year deal with the Sharks..as so John Morris for 2yr..and the sharks av re-signed halfback Scott Porter's contract until 2011...
its been reported that NSW halfback Peter Wallace secretly carried broken ribs into last Wednesday night's State of Origin match in an act that backfired. i think he wil stil play against the eels, there has been no word that he is out yet...Israel Folau is out he wont play.and ther was word that Justin Hodges might make a come back. but he to wont play....
Titans have said they wil offerd Lote Tuqiri a NRL lifeline if he want to switch codes,he is out-of-favour with the Wallabies at the moment...Tuqiri has since came out and said that he wont walk away from union..
as i said the other day Storm five-eighth Brett Finch is poised to take an $200,000-a-year pay cut - and find part-time work - to save his NRL career and stay at the storm. he is one of bout 103 off-contract players fighting to stay in the NRL as struggling clubs face up to this economy in crisis.

Comment by Mr scoop
Also Mason to leave roosters and before you say i know rugby no he has been told by brian smith via phone he is free to go as he is not wanted next year so he may be released before the 2010 comp kicks off so rugby may not be an option cause jap and french rugby have with drawn their offers and SL has shown no interest in the ageing big man so an nrl may snag him on a low cost deal but SL May throw him a deal
