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 Taai (22) as well as Christchurch-born and bred hooker Lewis Brown (22). Theyve also been playing in the NSW Cup, Taai with the Vulcans and Brown with Wests Tigers feeder club Balmain Ryde.
Second rower Taai was signed after impressive form for Mt Albert in Aucklands 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, its important for us in development terms that were able to bring through players from the local scene, said coach Ivan Cleary.
In Hermans case, we were able to bring a New Zealander home from Sydney and its the same with Lewis. Theyre 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 Taai 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 ORegan 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 Teo (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 !

also rabbitohs want brisbane broncos 120kg monster Dave taylor and are willing to pay big big big dollars for one of the broncos best up and comers souths are one of many clubs chasing taylor but taylor has addmitted that he wants to stay in brisbane
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

Newcastle $17 Bulldogs $26 Gold Coast $26 Eels $26
Canberra $34 Tigers $34 Bunnies $41 Panthers $51

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
Karmichaels 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

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

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

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 its 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.

The Broncos also had prop Dave Taylor put on report for a lifting tackle on Canberra's Glen Turner. didnt fink ther was much ther, And their other starting front-rower, Joel Clinton, could be sidelined after injuring his ankle in the first half. He left the ground with his ankle in a brace and will have scans to determine the extent of the injury... but they shuld should get Nick Kenny, Sam Thaiday and Peter Wallace back for next Monday's clash with the Sharks...

(Setu T'eo michaels winterstein Gorroll) are the top five being told to produce big time other players are being urged to step up incuding locky who has not produced for months he has not being resigned and needs to show he still has it a furious cullen said and hunt is in danger of being dropped to wing or bench and hodges would take the fullback postion wich he may be given next year according to cullen henjack also said he will mack massive changes not only for next week but he will drop and recruit heavy for next year
Also Mataio and dane laurie are on their radar as well as SL players

and as far as berrigan goes i'm not sure its only a rumore i cant say its fact
as far as my team well ur right and so is henjack some changes need to be made big time for next week
so here is a posible fix
1 hunt
2 Winterstein
3 carroll (it has to be done michaels defence is shocking carroll defence is great
4 hodges
5 Michaels / hewitt (Michaels can play both sides and can play on wing and in centres so he wont be out of place allows hodges to protect him i added hewitt is a very talented speedster who has pace to burn has not got a start through injury dragons were dissapointed to lose him should be given a chance
6 Lockyer (needs to step up)
7 Wallace
8 Kenny ( he has been their shining light this season they needed a big man to step up and he has he will bring some attitude back when he returns this weekend
9 Marsh ( Is back from injury and needs a massive game cause all three hookers are all on verge of being released from the club
10 Clinton
11 Thaiday (great defender and runner plays like a back they have missed him
12 Sims
13 Parker
14 Mcguire
15 Teo
16 Taylor
17 Setu / wapau (Wapau im leaning towards him he's big strong great ball skills fast and has stepped up when ever called on by broncs give him the choice
all in all brisbane need the whole team to get some heart i have always associated the broncos with heart how many times do u see the broncos score on half time or full time cause no matter what they keep going i have never seen a broncos outfit play such a bad game but with some injured players coming back they may get a bit back
Falou maybe a shock return for RD 23- 24 he is healing well

Second manly lve ya
I have never been so positive about manly alot of people jumped on the manly ban wagon saying here come manly their going back to back well i haven't been so sure all year i've questioned where they are at i mean they have the talent to go back to back no doubt but their performances are 50 50 one match they destroy a team the next they get flogged then they fall behind early and run a team down and like last week they fall behind and fail to run a team down one week their good the next their average i'm sure manly fans will be pissed at their inconsistancy i mean they have the talent to go all the way but i dont know were they are but then are we selling souths short were manly that bad tonight or were souths that good i dont know but manly aren't chockers no way but if they can get it together and play consistant footy well look out but otherwise yeah i don't know
Dragons well their fans have always exspected alot from their team and you cant blame them for having confidence they are flying but history says they always fall come finals they look like comp fav's then they fall flat but they haven't had bennet back then i cant see them falling flat on his watch not saying they'll win the comp but they wont fall flat that and the fact they have bought well a couple of fr Broncs who under bennet have that never die attitude that same attitude bennet drilled into the broncos he has brought it to the drags so they wont be that old dragons side who were once labled as chockers
Top eight god who knows i mean after this week end depending on results their could be alot of teams pressing for finals i cant say who will make it but i will say out of the teams charging
south well they have sent out a warning massive run home but after showing up manly well who knows
Paramatta good luck stoppng them i admit they have suprised me no doubt i cant see them missing out i have said put hayne to fullback for so long finally they have done it and look at them now
Tigers well they are looking good they fell asleep last week no doubt but still they are looking okay
Broncos well never write them off every time u go to write them off u have to think of 06 and they back lash nrl teams copped when the broncs came out of no where after losing like 6 straight to belt dogs para warriors knights dogs again and storm to win comp so dont write them off if they win on mon and if they get to the finals and can get a full strength team on the field for semis watch out

2ND Well they have a few Hoffman Beal Copley Gagi
But for me id like to see Hodges in my mind he is a better FB then a centre which says something cause he's the best centre in the game he came back to the broncos from the roosters in the hopes of playing FB if you think back to 06 one of the reasons the broncos won the 06 GF was because of 1 S Berrigan going to hooker but also Hodges playing fullback while hunt was out Hodges played so time at FB and dominated even when hunt came back hunt spent time on the wing while hodges remained at fullback and when hunt got his spot back they still switched hodges going to fullback lets face it with the nrl the way it is u need a big strong FB look at hayne i mean Hodges is big strong fast has a massive fend good foot work ball skills but after massive sucess at FB in 06 they haven't gone back their weird

4 Toupo ( I'd love to see him get a shot he has played wing centre backrow but i'd love to see him get a shot he's impressive 196cm could be well over 100kg if he starts trainging with broncs and hits the gym i mean him and falou as a combo two 196cm giants who can both jump look out
5 Michaels (Knee Recon has hamperd his performance this year no doubt i think he is a solid winger good centre but id have him on wing

7 Wallace
8 Kenny
9 Baptiste (Now your saying who but look 2 things one the current hookers aren't getting the job done so unless they axe Marsh and Gorrol and buy a big gun this kid could be the key he's quick off the mark got terrific ball skills is a hooker and can play five eight can play any where if need be an exciting young kid who unlike any current broncos hookers he's not only can play a standerd ball playing hooker roll he can attack the line and cut up the defence
10 Clinton he isn't really blasting through teams but gets the job done
11 Thaiday
12 Sims ( Hasn't really lived up but i'd keep him)
13 Parker
14 Carrol ( sources say he may play on next year)
15Mc Guire ( Big future)
16 Te'o ( If he can lift he has the talent to be as devastating SBW really Te'o is big strong fast has ball skills foot work has a massive shoulder if he can find his self look out
17 Wapau ( Look he is a big huge man but has the ball playing skills much like dave taylor
17 Or Dave Hala big strong match like Taylor tipped to replace taylor wapau or hala
but there are some good props and second rowers coming up four u broncos fans
Mitchell Dodds 185cm 96kg ( Big wraps on him only young but he will grow will be over 100kg by nrl debut)
Dunamis Lui 181cm 100kg (he's still growing has big wraps could be a big problem for other nrl teams could bulk up to at least 106kg maybe more keep any eye out for him
Tyson Andrews 185cm 106kg may tipped to be 110kg by debut has alot of ability
Brent Williams AKA The little wrecking ball 179cm 105kg his is a kid but if he bulks up to 108kg 110kg man he could be a handful has a little pace for a big man

dragons Justin Poore will risk a three game ban by fronting NRL judiciary in a bid to downgrade his dangerous throw charge. Beau Scott wil also front the judiciary, Matt Prior, will miss the game.. after taking the early guilty plea for his involvement in the same tackle for which Scott was charged for.
Cronulla's Jack Afamasaga can avoid an NRL suspension with a early guilty plea after being charged with a grade two careless high tackle.

Bryce gibbs is facing at least two weeks on side line if he pleads guilty of striking with knees if he fights and loses three weeks

Comment by Mr Scoop
Also broncos supporter frm NZ i can only guess it's mind blowing a week out and yet i have no idea i'd say
Top i think will finish like this
Bulldogs (I think MP will be Dog's or Titans look with manly playing like they did against Sharkies i dont if they can beat Titans and the Dogs with out Noddy who knows how they will go)
Titans
Dragons ( Look they have to beat parra if them being smashed by bunnies no disrespect to the bunnies but if that don't get them fired to beat parra well they are finished )
4 Broncos ( Yes i saying broncos will make top 4 i sure they will beat raiders if they dont well look they have two the after what the Raiders did to them suncorp the broncos are on the charge and i think Titans will get over manly and the storm look MT Smart bulldogs belting the warriors the storm have been so so beating the roosters dont mean much i know warriors will be a billion to one shot to beat storm but i'm going for it
5 Storm ( They will finish 4 or 5th but i'm tipping 5th
6 Eels
7 Manly
8 Knights panthers it will come down to next week cause Knights wont get the raiders tonight i mean Raiders at home at 700pm they are different team if Knights win tonight well they are in but if they lose it will be decided next week when the two teams clash
But this is what i think people may disagree thats okay but i don't want anyone getting fired up just let us know ur eight

Johnathan Thurston, Luke O'Donnell, Matthew Scott (all North Queensland), Nate Myles (Sydney Roosters), John Sutton (South Sydney), Paul Gallen, Luke Douglas (both Cronulla), Terry Campese, Joel Monaghan, David Shillington, Tom Learoyd-Lahrs (all Canberra), Michael Jennings, Trent Waterhouse, Luke Lewis, Petero Civoniceva (all Penrith), Robbie Farah, Chris Lawrence, Keith Galloway (all Wests Tigers).
The squad, from NRL sides missing the finals, contains 18 players - 14 of whom played in this year's State of Origin series.
The other four - Wests Tigers duo Chris Lawrence and Keith Galloway, Cronulla's Luke Douglas and Rabitohs John Sutton - have all been part of train-on squads in previous seasons and have played for the Prime Minister's XIII.
The most notable non-selection was Steve Price, who failed to see out the regular season due to a raft of injuries including Achilles tendonitis.
Rabbitohs Michael Crocker and cowboys centre Willie Tonga were also not considered due to injury.
Price's unavailability has opened the door for the likes of Galloway, St George Illawarra pair Justin Poore and Michael Weyman and Brisbane powerhouse Dave Taylor for next month's trip to the northern hemisphere to take on England, France and New Zealand.
its been reported that Rabbitohs coach Jason Taylor was knocked out by David Fa'alogo who is leaving the club to join English Super league club Huddersfield.....i think we wil here more 2morrow, when the club speaks out.....

Dragons make history, first minor premiers to not win a finals game. Gone!
Coincidence...
Broncos beat minor premiers Dragons 24-10
U20's Broncos beat minor premiers Manly 24-10
Broncos are on fire. Peaking at the right time.
Ben Hunt would be best pick if Peter Wallace can't play but why take away their opportunity to to make the grand final too. P.J. Marsh would have to be in contention and that way nothing else needs to change.

Ben Hunt is likely to kum in for the unjured Peter Wallace, but there is talk if Lockyer is fit to play they might if even go down this path.... Ben Te'o or Dave Taylor at five-eighth n shift Lockyer to halfback....but there not in no hurry to name the replacment yet.... they wil keep the storm guesing i would say......Karmichael Hunt, who has played halfback this season, is likely to remain at fullback to minimise the impact on broncos structure. i understand that Te`o is 0kay to return this week after being out for a couple of weeks with a calf injury.....

it was like locky was out and wasn't there wallace they mssed him but what makes it worse is the harsh ref errors that cost brisbane Hoffmans i think it was try which was a knock on and a inglish try which came from a dead set forward pass that led to the try take those away at that time brisbane were still in it they would of been down by 12 or close to it and that could of been enough motivation for brisbane to say lets go one try thats all it would of taken then they would be down by six u know but insted 22- 6 they were shot after that i feel so bad for them they didn't derserve to go out like that through injury and bad Ref decisions i just hope come next week Parra or storm dont get cost the GF by bad Ref decisions
the video ref must go really go back to the good old days where the ref made the decision himself make todays lazy refs get off there ass and make a call on their own storm were good but brisbane losing wall and those bad calls they cost brisbane but look u broncos fans cant forget after that canberra loss no one gave you a chance in hell of making the finals at the start of the year no one gave you a chance of making it without bennet you did and i am almost 100 percent sure you will go all the way next year as long as injury or bad Refs dont cost ya LOL

Reports say Tigers are real close to signing Lote Tuqiri....
Manly forward Anthony Watmough has been linked to a move to the storm....storm have come out and said that they wont be signing him, i would think he would be abit to much for them money wise.... but manly say they are confident of retaining Watmough, along with Glenn Stewart who has been linked to a move to the roosters ,theres talk the eels to.... and manly are expected to likely announce new deals shortly for halfback Matt Orford and wingers Michael Robertson and David Williams.... Watmough, Stewart, Jamie Lyon, Steve Matai, Josh Perry, Jason King and Kieran Foran all come off contract at the end of next season im pretty sure, so they will be looking to re-sign them to....
Eels coach Daniel Anderson close to signing a new deal....
Craig Bellamy likely to sign on as blues coach in the coming weeks....
Broncos have said they will allow Darren Lockyer to decide whether he wants to continue playing representative football next season....

Yes i did jim and i stand by it he is gone they don't want mason thats why they have giving him leave to go to japan to find a jap club and as i wrote above their are strong rumors he has found a club and if that is the case they will let him go I.E if he called noyce this second and said i have a club in japan noyce would say okay here's a pen sign the deal they will only keep him if he cant get a club cause they cant afford to pay him 200 thousend to leave if they did they'd pay and say so long but they cant afford it so if he cant find a club they would have to keep him

But a review of judiciary records has confirmed that Tahu has yet to serve a two-match suspension imposed in his final game for the Eels during the 2007 NRL finals series before going to rugby union.
The suspension followed an early guilty plea to a grade one contrary conduct head-slam charge.
Tahu will also miss one of Parramatta's two official trials in completing his suspension.

Bulldogs Daniel Holdsworth is close to signing with a ESL club...... there was interest from the cowboys, but it seems that he is 0f to play in the SL......
WESTS Tigers have extended the contracts of Tim Moltzen, Beau Ryan and Blake Ayshford. All three were off contract at the end of 2010 NRL season but will now stay with the club until the end of 2012. The extensions come after the club had already announced the re-signing of captain Robbie Farah and established first-graders Keith Galloway, Bryce Gibbs and Gareth Ellis to long-term deals......
AN assault charge against Daine Laurie has been dismissed....
Could Sonny Bill Williams be back playing in the NRL nxt yr? there is a lil bit of tlk that he is thinking bout walking out on the Rugby club......there is also tlk that he cud play in the super 14 rugby union......
just a rumour at this stage, but.. there is talk Darius Boyd cud leave the dragons and return to the broncos.....now it could mean a swap......with possibly peter wallace....if so you would think tim smith would fill the spot there........
former tigers and now huddersfield fullback brett hodgson was at roosters training today.....to work with todd carney at fullback.........and there is talk that he could return to the NRL in 2011 as a assistant coach at the roosters.......
anthony minichiello says that the roosters should sign chris walker....... it looks that he wont be going to bradford....coz if he dose go.....it wont let matt orford go.....and that would leave the club without a halfback........after they fort they had the deal done with orford and got rid of paul deacon.....

As far as Tim smith goes he has been traing with the broncos cause no other club wanted to give him a second go and he is so greatfull that the broncos have and has stated he would love to stay at broncos full time and would play for next to nothing until broncos could pay him more down the track i really think he will sign with them
As far as ginger ninja goes he is not going anywhere he is under contract for a while yet from what i hear but accordding to cullen he they have plans for him one thing i will say is he is a utility he is a HB but can play 5'8 hooker so he will not be going anywhere tim smith also can play those positions and he will play anywhere according to him even off bench all in all brisbane fans be thrilled brisbane will have a strong team next year if all goes to plan

Good news for you broncos fans Brisbane Broncos have signed Tim Smith on a Trial contract for a year what that means is he will play a few trial and nrl games to see where he is at and if he works out he will upgrade to a two yr deal but if not he is free to go anytime it will not and more good news peter wallace will also resign once his contract runs out he don't want to play anywhere else it will not affect him with smith being signed also it looks like Hodges or Kemp will be at fullback they are both traing there the trials will be the deciding factor over who plays FB

"We've got a number of options there, I'm not concerned with fullback," he said.
"Josh Hoffman is a real chance, Dale Copley has played there, Denan Kemp's played there, Gerard Beale's played there.
"Justin Hodges is a chance to go back there, there's a lot of options there ... Darren Lockyer's played there in the past."
THE Sydney Roosters are considering a name change to the Bondi Roosters...... that sounds mad..i rekon
reports say that the cowboys have officially pulled out of race to sign Greg Bird.....
Raiders says former Toyota Cup Captain Shaun Fensom will remain with the club until the end of 2013. After leading the Raiders to the inaugural Toyota Cup premiership in 2008, he made his NRL debut in 2009, he played two matches.

And you were right jim bout locky at FB but i can tell you that it is gonna happen Locky says he will play fullback next year with Wallace and smith in halves that is 80percent chance it depends on henjack but locky says he is ready to play FB if need be hodges is henjacks first choice but henjack wants smith in the team so he may go with locky at FB to bring smith into team
Comment by Big Bronco fan
Besides that, Hodgo was a key to Broncos 2006 premiership at fullback and I'm sure he'd like to re-take ownership of that role. That would allow Israel to play his preferred right side in the centres where we might get some value out of him. ????
Just an opinion.
Comment by Mr Scoop
First i dont think locky will play at FB they say its a big possiblity but i think it will come down to Hodges and and Kemp for FB they say that wallace may play hooker
1 Hodges
2 Winterstein
3 Falou
4 Kemp
5 Yow Yeh
6 Locky
7 Smith
8 Kenny
9 McCullough
10 Anderson
11 Thaiday
12 Sims
13 Parker
14 Wallace
15 Te'o
16 Setu
17 Glenn
Their are some players that are missing but this is the most likley team smith and wallace may swap and wallace may start with smith on bench i dont know still pritty strong though
Locky Rep career is over he is exspected to annouce by the start of season that he will not play for Aus or Qld again
Also Broncos have spoken to bird about a possible move to brisbane lets hope for the broncos he dont he's a risk broncos dont need that kind of rep that bird will bring with him
Comment by Big Bronco fan
I like your team, though I might be leaning towards Kemp at fullback although Hodgo would probably love it but who'd be the other center, not Kemp.
Hope Broncos are clever enough to avoid the Bird. If he wants money he'll go back to France. bon voyage! Can't see how they're going to need him if Locky's retired from rep' footy with Tim smith and Ginger Ninja to pick from.
Keep up the good work![/SIZYour text goes hereYour text goes hereE]Your text goes here

HB Wallace Smith Hunt Marsh
Hooker McCullough Baptiste (This kid is our future is alot like shawn berrigan) Marsh

Nick Youngquest and Frank Winterstein.
Full-back Youngquest has played for Cronulla, St George Illawarra, Penrith and Canterbury in the NRL, but has spent the last two years in Europe, playing abit of footy with French side Pia and from last May with Gateshead.
Winterstein, a former Bulldogs forward, joined Wakefield for the 2009 season but his appearances were restricted after suffering a broken jaw.
the SL club also signed Michael Witt, He switched to rugby in March, saying at the time he was aiming to play for the All Blacks.
He went on to play seven games for Otago in the NZ provincial competition this season, six of them as a substitute......
it lo0ks like the cowboys wil let Carl Webb make his professional boxing debut as the main undercard on the Anthony Mundine fight next month..... he is taking on Scott Lewis, neva heard 0f him...... but s0undz like from what im hearing Webb shuld get him easy....... i think i seen that this Scott Lewis guy has had 4 fights n l0st 3 of them by knock 0ut........

Danny Wicks has terminated his own contract with the Knights.....
"The players have been put under enormous scrutiny and pressure which they do not deserve," Wicks said.
"Its the right thing for me to do so the club can move forward.
"The Knights have a strict code of conduct which I have always supported and I feel obliged to disassociate myself from the Club until my matter is resolved."
Newcastle Knights CEO, Steve Burraston fully supported the decision.
"Danny has many challenges ahead and we understand the reasons behind his decision," Burraston said.
Burraston reaffirmed the club's position following more media reports quoting unnamed sources that a second Knights player was under investigation.
"As I said in a statement earlier this week, some very serious allegations have been reported in the last week. There is an ongoing police investigation and we have no intention of hindering their investigation in any way."
"We dont act on rumours and innuendo and until such times that we are presented with solid evidence we wont be taking matters into our own hands. It is a matter for police and they are much better placed to deal with such matters."

Second Bunny girl as far as souths ur right there is hype but i'm not getting into it i'm gonna wait and see first cause it may sound harsh but take souths apart piece by piece and there are concerns i mean they have bought well but look this is why i'm worried
Dave Taylor great buy but he is so inconsistant thats why he could never hold down a spot at brisbane dont say well he was in blsitering form leading into finals cause thats normal thats taylor he has burst where he plays 4 or 5 games and looks like becoming the next big thing even before brisbane when he was in QLD cup same thing inconsistant
Burgess looks good but don't count ur chips yet he played in SL for christ sake it's like reserve grade to the NRL before saying he will save souths lets see if he can last ten seconds in the nrl
Ben Ross hell of a player but he almost was never gonna walk again i mean that kind of injury dont go away overnight it takes one knock and he's gone for the season at best
back at the end of the day they have a solid pack if it gets going if they all step up they will be one of the most dominate packs but their backs concern me i just don't think they have it yet
Wesser i mean he didn't last more then a couple of rounds he's really getting old when u look at the other FB hayne slater stewert boyd their fast strong young i just think he's running on empty
Halves i think are their problem i'm sorry they dont have a genuine 5'8 unless they have got one in the off season if not they have not got a genuine 5'8 theres no Locky no Marshall you know
Sandow look i like him but without a barrett or a locky to guide hiim around he is on his own his young he's still trying to find his feet he's not an instint HB like thurston you look at the best HB the game has had Langer Joey Sterlo thurston they all are instint players no matter the time they just pull things out the A** u know they just do something on instint sandow isn't that kind of a HB at the mo but none the less he is the HB for them he will adapt but they need a 5'8 a real 5'8 to take the pressure of him you need experiance in the halves alot of teams now have an experianced 5'8 or HB and a young 5'8 or HB like Locky and Wallace/Smith
Barrett and Porter (I think it is)
other then that they have a good team Issack luke big wraps on him i still see him getting better he is a teriffic hooker they need a five eight
Look that is just my opinion some pple may agree some may not that's cool

Parramatta have been listed as the favs to take out 2010 comp at $6 how can a team who was beaten in the GF be listed as favs
Bulldogs are 2nd faves at $7 even know they were knocked out by parramatta the team who lost the GF to the storm
Storm Now this the biggest joke the storm are 3rd faves at $7.50 even though they beat parra in the GF the team who knocked out the dogs yet the storm are not classed as faves insted are sitting behind the dogs who parra knocked out of comp and parra the so called faves who the storm beat to wn the GF if ur a storm fan ur pissed off storm should be faves they one the dam comp
Dragons well this is a joke dragons 4th faves at $8 they have choked for god knows how long they were belted out of the comp by the broncos yet they are 4th faves and the broncos are way down the order figure that out
goldcoast are at $11 to win the comp
Manly are $11 and dropping according to bookies but as it stands at this time they are $11 faves
West Tigers $13 faves
Broncos are classed as $15 faves to take out comp although they smashed the dragons and dragged them back to reality and knocked them out of the comp broncos are not classed as big a chance as the dragons to win comp
Souths are $15 faves their off field buys have made them $15 faves
Penrith are $21 to win comp
Roosters are equal at $21 not bad for a team who came dead last
Knights $26 to win comp
Cowboys $26 to win comp
Raiders are $34 to win comp
Warriors $34 to take out 2010 comp
sharks $41 to take out comp they are also wooden spoon faves

Fui Fui and luke burt have resigned with parra for two yrs it was feared by parra that fui fui would walk away
although they have resigned it now means Mateo is gone for 2011
Kangeroos want their money they were promised a 10,000 bonus for each player who played and they have not received payment
Noddy (Kimorley) May not finish career with dogs as they say they dont think he has the gas to go on they do not want to sign him to a longer deal so this could be his last yr at dogs but he will play in nrl next year with or against dogs

Anasta has battled a fractured ankle he suffered in June last year and missed all the Roosters' pre-season trials.
"It's going really well, I really tested it in the last few weeks and I'm pretty much certain I'll be playing this week," Anasta said on Monday.
"It's been a long process, it's been quite a few months and I pretty much had the freedom of not playing the trials and just getting prepared for the first game, which was the goal."
Anasta said coach Brian Smith would give him until match day to confirm he would take the field.
"Unless there's a mishap, I'll pretty much be playing and he'll give me right until game day," Anasta said.

First The Broncos are on the verge of releasing Falou according to sources the broncos big man has been going behind the broncos back and talking to the rebels a new S14 team he also was rumored to be talking to storm about a possible return and the broncos are rumored to be fed up with falou's lack of form and i for one would not be surprised if the broncos released him for 2012 season he is on a 1.6 mil $ deal and has been there for two yrs and has not lived up to the hype brisbane released many players to get him and he has failed to make an impression so i would not be at all shocked if he was released although the broncs will like to keep him they are not thrilled he has been giving 19 days to extend his contract
But with that said good news i bring u the broncos will anouce soon petro is to return to brisbane next year

Shane Tronc has to play one more game in the UK this Saturday so he won't be on the field this week.
Broncos are cashed up and want Petero Civoniceva and Ben Hannant so it's reported in todays Brisbane papers.
Expect a much better performance from the Broncos this weekend.

Referees Ben Cummins and Gerard Sutton have been dropped to the lower grades after their decisions to sin-bin eels Nathan Cayless when he had done nothing they send the wrong player to the bin...... and rabbithohs centre Beau Champion for a high tackle.......
Storm centre Greg Inglis has been cleared of serious ankle damage and is expected to be named in there side for this weekend game.....but you would think would be in a bit of doubt......Rookie Storm wingers Matt Duffie and Willie Isa are expected to be put on standby with Anthony Quinn or Luke MacDougall tipped to move into the centres should Inglis miss one week.
Rabbitohs are in negotiations with the Western Australian government to move another Rabbitohs home game across to perth next season.......

Australian Mick Potter Coach of Super League club St Helens will leave the club at the end of the season.
Potter, who took over from Daniel Anderson two years ago, is out of contract in October and wants to return to the NRL.
Potter was an assistant at the Dragons when he was chosen to take over from Englishman Steve Deakin just after the start of Catalans Dragons' inaugural season in Super League in 2006.
He took them to the Challenge Cup final in 2007 and was named Super League coach of the year in 2008 before taking over at St Helens.
The Canberra Raiders have announced that all Melbourne Storm members will be granted free entry to the Raiders v Storm home match on May 15.
Roosters captain Braith Anasta says he is an outside chance of playing against the Cowboys on Monday night, despite an ankle injury that ruled him out of the City v Country game.
Steve Rapira will leave the Cowboys at the end of the NRL season to rejoin the Warriors in 2011.he has been signed on a two-year contract with an option for the 2013 season.
THE NRL will consider a proposal to allow players to have their own individual numbers on the backs of their jerseys.
Dragons centre Matt Cooper has been named to play despite being ruled out of the City-Country match with a calf strain. the dragons the dragons were said to have got in contact with Country coach Laurie Daley and Country doctor Hugh Hazzard last Sunday to rule Cooper unavailable for selection.

Storm afraid of the brisbane broncos storm say that they are more afraid of the broncos then any other team in the NRL saying they have been written off bad mouthed and trashed and they know that brisbane have nothing to lose which makes them dangerous they'll comeout sunday the underdogs on ememy turf a billion to one shot at winning
Also Falou says he will not join another NRL club he will stay at the broncos if he chooses to stay in NRL
Also brisbane say there is no truth in rumore of Setu Hoffman or gillete leaving for the roosters or raiders

But with good news comes bad news Sharks big bopper Adam Cutbertson is looking to get out off cronulla he is looking at going anywhere Dog Roosters warriors souths broncos newcastle have all showed intrest
As i said Josh Dugon is on the verge of signing with roosters he was today offered a 400 thousend $'s a season resign with canberra he rejected the offer roosters have offered him more to join them and other clubs are offering as much but the roosters are set to sign him as early a the next couple of weeks for the 2012 season
Baby Broncos make good on promiss to kick start their season by thrashing the storm in melbourne 36-14 but good news for broncos with the news that they will get some big guns back next week
Cory Norman Shines at halfback for the broncos
Greg Inglish to be released by the storm the storm must release two of their big four (Inglish Slater Cromk Smith) and according to sources Inglish is one of the two that they will have to release storm want to keep Slater Cronk and smith but they can't it's believed Inglish and Cronk will be the unlucky ones to be released for 2011 season as well as a few minor players

Don't know why i bother the selectors well who knows what they'll do but here is my team if i was to choose a team although it won't be close to what the selectors go with lol
But i think NSW need a starting line up that can go 80mins and allow them to bring on some big boppers from the bench around the 60 to 70 mins also love to see little Preston Cambell but keep dreaming scoop it ain't gonna happen NSW have a phobia of playing little guys but Presto coming off the bench at the 70 min against the tired Queensland big men but my NSW team is designed to run and demolish QLD see how it works is the starting line up goes 70 odd mins and then allowing fresh monsters NSW big boppers to come on fully charged and unload on a tired Queenland team By the by im not a NSW fan so please Queenslanders do not get fired up over my theory it's just my idea how the selectors could assist the blues to a win

No way in hell is it the end of the Broncos look at this point falou has been a bomb okay at the end of the day izzy came to the broncos we had to let go of a lot of talent to get him (Boyd Hannent Eastwood) the list is endless & since then since izzy came to the broncos he has not been worth the money they are dishing out he has not produced the form he should now that he is going it will free up a huge amount of cash as he is going it will leave brisbane with close to a million $ to spend with falou gone setu leaving for missionary reasons with marsh's retirement and the realease of a few players to come the broncos will be going on a shopping spree next yr with hannent money already worked out they will not lose any money from falou's departure hannet's money comes from already released cash
so with hannent sought out brisbane will now chase a rec prop also they will chase camron smith greg inglis they are now also interest in sika manu and may very well sign him since clubs do not have the money to run with brisbane so look the broncos are not done in fact they are looking at a very bright future so you broncos fans dont panic izzy was not worth the cash since he has been at the broncs he has not lived up to the hype

After Tate broke his jaw the omission of Falou ment the spot was gonna go to Tate but with the injury to tate Queensland officials say that Yow Yeh is ahead of Lote Tuqiri
they will decide tomorrow who they will pick but they say he is up there
Comment by Mr Scoop
Slater
Boyd
Inglis
Tonga
Falou (Was set to be dumped but Queensland players pleeded to selectors to pick him which they have)
Lockyer
Thurston
Scott
Smith
Shilliton
Myles
Thaiday
Harrison
Cronk Hannant Costigan Taylor
!8th man Yow Yeh (He was going to be picked by selectors but to take Falous spot but after Falou being picked he was moved to 18th man
Comment by Mr Scoop
As far as the warriors cap does they have a massive amount of money depending on what they pay white and if tate stays or goes
if tate stays and they pay white around 300,000 to 400,000 they could get them all if the players in question dont ask for too much winterstein though is exspected to resign soon but yes they could get Sika White and Glen under the cap
If Tate goes back to the broncos well it would be a plus for the warriors for one it would mean a huge chunk of change to invest in more young players i can say that they have plans if tate goes they do have a hitlist of players they will look at it's a long list but they hope to snare acouple if he goes they wont get them all not enough cash but a couple a few is possible as their all cheap unlike inglis Falou so fourth
Camron Smith is at the top of the list it is unlikely but he is on there list anyway if they get him they will not be able to chase the players below

Craig Stapleton has signed a deal with souths for remainder of the yr with the options to resign for 2010 if he is good enough
Warriors are stepping up to sign Sika White
they are exspected to sign white soon and they are after Broncos Steve Michels who they see as a real deal centre
Michaels is a great centre i have always had big wraps on him as winger slash centre but injury have kept him out off form if giving a secure spot in a team you'll see a superstar emerge

I heard Dave Furner on the radio this morning, and he said Brett White should be a done deal with the Raiders next week, gee this has been dragging on a while now.
Also looks like Kimmorley is going to retire, so the Raiders are now in talks with Matt Orford, he will be visiting Raiders HQ next week, the sticking point is going to be the Bradford Bulls, they seem to want compensation for Orfords two remaining yrs of his contract, the Raiders don't want to pay them any extra money.

Revelations of the selection dispute between coach and captain came as grumblings of a rift between Henjak and his playing ranks emerged in the wake of Brisbane's historic NRL finals exit at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night.
In a shock development, it has emerged Henjak thwarted Lockyer's plan to play Canberra to keep the champion five-eighth in cotton wool for a possible finals campaign.
The Test skipper could not be contacted on Saturday, but it is believed he pleaded with club staff to be given until Thursday - the day before the Raiders match - to prove his fitness.
It is understood Lockyer was determined to defy pain and follow halfback Peter Wallace, who played with a shoulder injury requiring surgery, into battle.
But Henjak demanded the decorated Test and Queensland Origin captain pull the pin on comeback plans early in the week to limit distractions.
Lockyer withdrew on Tuesday night, three days before the Broncos were booted out of the competition with an 18-16 final-round loss to Canberra.
After putting a red line through Lockyer's return, Henjak then had to watch as Brisbane's 18-year unbroken run of finals came crashing down with the Broncos' fourth successive loss to finish his second year in charge of the glamour club.
Henjak's stance was publicly supported by departing chief executive Bruno Cullen, who argued the club shouldn't risk Lockyer's welfare if he wasn't close to being fit.
In a separate issue, several Brisbane players have taken issue with other aspects of Henjak's perceived dictatorial approach.
And the major sticking points are much deeper than this year's finishing position and extend to concerns over communication and man management.
Worryingly, many senior players have been left frustrated by the lack of input they were given in the club's training and game-plan approaches this year.
After his side's fate was sealed against Canberra, Henjak declared post-match that his players have steep lessons to learn.
"There's a lot of potential in that footy team but if we don't put the effort in and learn a lot from this year, we'll end up in the same position we are now," Henjak said.
Cullen insists while the six-time premiers will conduct a standard annual off-season review of operations, the club remains totally committed to Henjak as head coach

Rovers beat several clubs to the signature of the 30-year-old former international, who is perhaps best remembered in the United Kingdom for the punch that knocked out Great Britain forward Stuart Fielden in the 2006 Tri Nations in Sydney.
The 194cm, 115kg forward will be seen as one of the most high-profile signings in Super League history, ranking alongside that of Stacey Jones (Catalans Dragons) and Trent Barrett (Wigan).
Rovers chief executive Mike Smith said: "This is arguably the biggest signing in the club's illustrious history and one of the most high profile overseas signings these shores have ever seen.
"Willie's playing record speaks for itself and he has a hunger to come to Super League and compete for silverware.
"We're delighted that he will be doing that in the red and white of Hull KR.
"Signing a player of Willie's calibre not only highlights just how far we have come as a club in our first four years in Super League, but also demonstrates our ambition moving forward to become the very best."
Mason spent the first seven years of his career with Canterbury-Bankstown before moving on to Sydney Roosters and, more recently, the Cowboys.
Born in New Zealand, Mason played his first international rugby league match for Tonga, where his mother was born, in the 2000 World Cup before switching his allegiance to Australia, for whom he won the first of 24 caps in the 60-12 rout of Britain in Sydney in 2002.
Mason, who has made 13 State of Origin appearances for New South Wales, was courted by Crusaders and Catalans Dragons a year ago while Huddersfield were also among the clubs to have recently shown an interest.

September 21, 2010 .Canterbury-Bankstown have continued their recruitment drive for the 2011 NRL season with the signings of Grant Millington, Michael Lett and Jonathan Wright.
Forward Millington joins from Cronulla, utility back Lett comes across from St George Illawarra and centre Wright links with the Bulldogs from Parramatta.
They join an already impressive signing spree which has netted Manly half Trent Hodkinson, Eels playmaker Kris Keating, Penrith second-rower Frank Pritchard and Melbourne Storm prop Aiden Tolman.
Grant, Michael and Jonathon are all handy acquisitions due to their experience at NRL level and their ability to each cover more than one position, Bulldogs coach Kevin Moore said in a statement.
All three players add plenty of quality to our squad for next season and I can see them staking a claim for selection in first grade right from the start of the year.
Millington and Wright have signed two-year deals, while Lett's contract is for the 2011 season.

The dual international, who currently plays club rugby union in France and Tests for Italy, is the latest experienced half to be linked with the Raiders and Eels.
Both clubs have said they are considering signing a mature player to mentor their younger halves.
"Craig is having a great time in France but he and his wife have been away for three years now and are thinking about coming home," 32-year-old Gower's manager Greg Willett said.
"The guy is still playing good footy over there and is in good shape physically.
"There is a lack of experienced playmakers in the NRL at the moment and he'd be great for a club for 12 months.
"He would also be good in a mentoring role for a club like Canberra or Parra who have young halves in their ranks."
A return to rugby league would mean Gower missing next year's Rugby World Cup in New Zealand after being groomed for the tournament by Italy.

BIG BRONCOS NEWS RICKY STUART TO COACH THE BDaniel Anderson's sacking at Parramatta has created a bizarre game of coaching musical chairs that could pave the way for Ricky Stuart to become coach of Brisbane Broncos next year.
i can reveal Kiwi Test coach Stephen Kearney - who Parramatta are about to sign - was also in the sights of the Broncos, where Ivan Henjak's job is shaky and under review.
The Eels were in serious danger of missing out on Kearney to the Broncos if they had not sacked Anderson immediately at Sunday night's emergency board meeting.
Now, former Cronulla coach Stuart is in contention for the Broncos job should their board and new CEO - tipped to be Gene Miles - decide to remove Henjak.
Kearney is expected to sign with Parramatta by the end of the week on a three-year contract to replace Anderson, who is unemployed just 12 months after taking the Eels to the grand final.
Sources have revealed the Parramatta board was unanimous in its decision not to extend Anderson's contract beyond 2011 when they met on Sunday night. Two of the eight directors supported Anderson staying for the remainder of his contract but the other six wanted Kearney straight away, knowing there was a real risk they would miss out on the best young coach in the business.
Facing an election next year, the directors know they will be under pressure to keep their jobs unless Kearney gets them off to a strong start.
In Anderson's two seasons at Parramatta, the club has been in the top eight for only eight weeks.
The dumped coach would not return phone calls or text messages on Monday.
The removal of dead wood from the leagues and football club staff over the past 18 months has seen a $2 million turnaround in the club's finances but directors are fully aware members want results on the football field more than a thriving business.
Meanwhile, former Australia coach Stuart sits quietly in the background unaware that the Eels upheaval may have thrown the door open for a job at the Broncos.
Like Parramatta, the Broncos are undergoing an internal review and it is understood Henjak has been criticised for lacking communication skills with senior players including skipper Darren Lockyer.
Since cutting ties with the Sharks, Stuart has shown interest in the NSW State of Origin position but insists he wants nothing to do with a NRL club while a coach is still in the job. His manager John Fordham on Monday night insisted there had been no contact with the Broncos, where Stuart has a close relationship with Lockyer and other Test players from when he coached the Kangaroos.
"There have been no talks at all," Fordham said.
"Ricky is not a person who wants to throw his name out there for any job that comes up. It's just not his go.

The NRL match review committee could not obtain sufficient evidence to charge Young but NRL management on Monday moved to further investigate the claim.
If the NRL finds evidence of vilification, it is likely Young would be fined, not suspended.
"The first port of call for on-field matters is the match review committee however in incidents of this nature, there is also the potential for code of conduct implications," NRL chief operating officer Graham Annesley said.
"We have written to both clubs requesting their version of events before we decide whether any action is required."
Penrith star Luke Lewis has agreed to a long term deal with the Panthers, keeping him at the NRL club until the end of the 2014 season.
Panthers chief executive Michael Leary met with the 2003 premiership winner's manager on Saturday morning to finalise the deal which is a massive boost to the club's future.
The Australian Test and NSW Origin representative is one of the most versatile players in the NRL and seems destined to take over as Penrith captain when Petero Civoniceva retires.
"I'm excited that we have been able to keep the nucleus of our team together for the next three years,'' Leary said.
"Luke is a competitive player who has achieved a lot since debuting for the club in 2001. His representative career for both NSW and Australia continues to show the quality of our junior nursery at Penrith and he is someone who plays an enormous part of our success as a club.''
Former Great Britain rugby league player Terry Newton has been found dead at his home near Wigan, it was announced.
The BBC reported the 31-year-old Newton, given a two-year ban in February after testing positive for human growth hormone (HGH), is understood to have been found hanged at the house in Orrell.
Newton, who also played for Leeds, Wigan and Bradford, was sacked by Wakefield after his positive drugs test.
Shortly after 2pm on Sunday 26 September 2010, police were called to a house on Harswell Close in Orrell, Wigan, following a report of concern for welfare, a Greater Manchester Police spokesman said.
Officers went to the address and found the body of a 31-year-old man.
Inquiries have been launched, but there are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.
Newton made 15 international appearances for Great Britain in a career spanning all 15 seasons of the Super League.

Speaking exclusively with The Courier-Mail, Hodges, 28, declared his body could survive in the NRL for another five years, despite the frustration of an achilles injury that threatens to wipe out his 2010 campaign.
Hodges has not appeared on the paddock since last November, when he represented Australia in the Four Nations final, and his litany of injuries has sparked speculation he is considering quitting the Broncos to play in England next season.
But the Test three-quarter says he is not planning retirement any time soon, and hopes to emulate Darren Lockyer by remaining at Red Hill beyond his 33rd birthday.
"I think I have another five years in me," said Hodges, who has previously undergone knee and shoulder reconstructions.
"I know I can get back to the player I was. Having this year off has made my body feel good.
"My knees and my shoulder haven't been copping any punishment week to week, so this is the best I've ever felt.
"Obviously this (achilles) injury has been a negative, but the positive is it has extended my career because it has helped the rest of my body recover."
Last month, former Broncos Test stars Tony Currie and Steve Renouf questioned whether Hodges would ever return to the peak of his powers after his third serious injury in seven years.
In his younger years, Hodges adopted a carefree approach to injury prevention, and there was a prevailing sentiment that this attitude might catch up with the Maroons ace in his twilight years.
But the veteran of 12 Origin matches knows he is not a spent force, and is determined to prove it by reclaiming his Queensland and Australian jumpers in 2011.
"You just have to be patient," Hodges said.
"Everyone is expecting me to get me back, but for people who haven't had this injury before, they don't understand you go through some ups and downs with it.
"Whenever you get a bad injury you have little doubts on whether you will be the same player. I've had a lot of time to think over the last six months, but I've come back from my shoulder and knee and I will do it again this time.
"I've missed out on Test and Origin footy and that stings me. I'll be working hard to get those jumpers back and I know I can get back there again.
"Once it (his achilles) gets better I'll be raring to go again."

Some Good news as i said the other day on Orford it's seems there is alot of talk around that orford will sit out the 2011 season in the hopes that the CC Bears will enter the comp in 2012 but although Orford does want to play for the CC bears he states he want's to play next yr now there is only one thing standing in front of Canberra signing orford that's the eels they are wanting to sign him and with Tahu looking else where for a club for next yr they are gunning for Orford and have a little more money for him but i have some good news Parra have Officially pulled out of the race for Orford leaving the Raiders as the only team in the race for him the sharks have also pulled out so if released by Bradford Orford is Raiders Bound next yr unless souths decide to screw another club lol but seriously he looks set to be a raider next yr

Okay Fan boy to answer your question no no other club has that money warriors sharks have some but not the 5 hundred or so a season that Tahu would want other then the Broncos clubs like the Warriors and sharks have alot but not that amont the brocos through inglis walking out on them have that kind of money the Raiders would come close they may even have that much but it would mean they'd need to choose Tahu or Orford and they want Orford as cover for Campo
But still it depends on the Eels and if it's genuine when they say Tahu is not wanted it could be a bluff to get him to resign but it looks for real though also with the knights saying they cant fit him under the cap that and the Raiders chasing Orford that leaves the Broncos as the only club still standing but again it all comes down to Parra and if their genuine when they say Tahu is not wanted

Police said Sinclair, 38, had not been seen for days, but his death was not suspicious. They said a post-mortem examination would be carried out to confirm a cause of death.
Former teammates described Sinclair as a "gifted player" who had "untapped ability" during his 80 first grade game career with Balmain, Souths and the Sydney City Roosters.
Sinclair is believed to have been dead inside the apartment at Woolwich, in Sydney's north, for several days.
A crime scene investigation is under way. Sinclair was found after a concerned relative contacted police.
Detectives knocked on neighbours' doors in the quiet street, trying to piece together his last movements.
Start of sidebar. Skip to end of sidebar.
End of sidebar. Return to start of sidebar.
Former teammates were stunned and shattered.
Steve Roach, the former Balmain and Australian prop, played two seasons with Sinclair at Leichhardt.
"I used to marvel at his untapped ability," Roach said. "He could play, don't worry about that."
Sinclair played with the Tigers from 1991 to 1993 before spending two seasons with Souths. In 1997, he had a year with the Roosters before returning to Balmain for two final seasons.
"I know when I played against Jacin it was always a tough game," former Australian captain Laurie Daley said.
"He was ultra-competitive and a gifted player. It is very sad news."
Sinclair played representative football in 1993 for City Origin against Country.
NRL chief executive David Gallop yesterday described Sinclair's death as "an absolute tragedy".
Parramatta have made a tentative approach to sign Warrington and former Australia centre Matt King.
It is understood that the move was made recently when the Eels became aware Timana Tahu would not return.

King's manager George Mimis raised the issue with Wolves management, but the Super League club quickly dismissed any chance of the ex-Melbourne star being released early.

Queensland Maroons coach Mal Meninga has criticised Greg Inglis for the "underhanded dealing" that saw the Queensland Origin star controversially renege on his $1 million deal at Brisbane Broncos to join South Sydney.
As the NRL continues to probe the validity of Inglis's Rabbitohs deal, Meninga expressed his disappointment in the contractual circus and the manner in which the former Melbourne Storm centre has handled the "messy" affair.
Meninga has played a key mentoring role with Inglis, who has played in five consecutive Origin series victories under the former Test captain.
But Meninga said Inglis's actions in his shock 11th-hour walkout on the Broncos was evidence the days of loyal handshake deals were over.
"The whole thing got a bit messy, and I think there was a bit of underhanded dealing going on," Meninga wrote in his column in the Queenslander magazine, the official publication of the FOGS (Former Origin Greats).
"I am not a fan of that. I am a fan of being honest.
"Greg has had a tumultuous year. Obviously he has had that court case, the Melbourne Storm salary cap scandal, the Andrew Johns incident during Origin and now this contract stuff all hanging over his head.

End of sidebar. Return to start of sidebar.
"He has had a fair bit going on in his life.
"But I am a big believer in doing what is right - doing the right thing, and being honest regardless of the advice you get.
"Once you filter through all the bulldust, you have to make a decision based on what your value system is, and do what you think is right."I don't think anyone would have a problem with the idea of a player trying to do the best for himself and his future.
"But I do have to say, the whole affair was another reminder of how the game has evolved into a business, and how the old-school ways of doing things - like handshake deals and using your word as your bond - are the ways of a bygone era.
"Greg's situation, caught as the prize in a three-way battle between the Storm, Broncos and Rabbitohs, got to the stage where no one - including Greg - really knew what was going on."
Meninga revealed he spoke to Inglis in the days after he signed with the Rabbitohs and hopes the 23-year-old has made the right decision.
"At the end of the day, if he is happy he has done the right thing, then he will be clear to get on with things and live his life the way he wants to," he said.
"I guess it is just unfortunate the way it all panned out.
"I am an old fuddy-duddy in a way where I believe that your handshake is your bond, and that's the deal.
"But that is not the way modern society works, unfortunately.
"In Greg's case, I wasn't a big fan of how it all went.
Some good news for Broncos fans
After 334 painful days on the sidelines, Justin Hodges was back doing what he does best - hitting top gear on the football field.
Brisbane Broncos' backline ace returned to pre-season training on Thursday, undergoing his first fully-fledged session since an achilles injury in January wiped out his entire 2010 season.
Hodges came through the one-hour hit-out unscathed and pledged to spearhead the Broncos' three-quarter line in 2011 as the club comes to terms with Israel Folau's AFL defection and Greg Inglis's walkout to Souths.
"It (achilles) feels good," said Hodges, who iced his right foot as a precautionary move after the session.
"You still get a bit scared sometimes but obviously it comes with the injury. I'm getting more confident each week so I'm looking forward to training, this is another stepping stone."
It seems like an eternity since Hodges last appeared in a Brisbane jumper. His most recent game was 15 months ago, when the Storm sent the club tumbling out of the premiership race in the 2009 preliminary final.
It has been a long road back, but the ex-Maroons centre is no stranger to career resurrections. In 2003, he underwent a knee reconstruction. Two years ago, he had his shoulder repaired. This time, Hodges knows he can return to the peak of his powers.

End of sidebar. Return to start of sidebar.
"I've done it with my knee and shoulder and it does haunt you. But it's just one of those things I've had to learn to deal with," he said.
"There's always those little demons that creep into your head. It will take a while to get back to my best, I haven't played for a year. I did a sprint test the other day and I wasn't too bad, but I have a lot of improving to do."
Hodges says he is relishing being Brisbane's strike weapon and believes the club has the blend of youth and experience to clinch their first title since 2006 next season.
"Losing a guy like Greg (Inglis), you can't make those players every day so it's one of those things we have to deal with," he said. "But in saying that, I'm looking forward to the challenge, I'm going to step up for the young guys.
"We have the team to go all the way, we have a good young side with the old blokes for experience.
"We'll do just fine."

I have some news on Matt Orford, it was reported in the Canberra Times that Orford and Bradford are close to agreeing on a settlement so he can return to the NRL, should be done next week.

Okay Bad news for the NRL former England internationals Denis Betts and Garry Schofield have been appointed coaches of Widnes and Barrow respectively now ur thinking how is this bad news for the NRL here's how with both clubs vying for the one spot which will become vacant in Super League in 2012 the club has been told they will be giving uncharted access to overseas players which means if they wish to poach 17 nrl players to be in their first ever side they can although the players must be under the ESL cap every other club can only sign a certain amount of overseas players but the new team in their first yr can sign as many as they wish which means more departing NRL players

In an exclusive interview with Alpha magazine, Hunt admits the departure of coach Wayne Bennett, who had left for St George Illawarra a year earlier, also played a part in his decision to switch to the AFL in a multi-million, multi-year deal with the Suns.
In 2008, Hunt was nearing the end of his NRL contract and was in early talks to extend his ties with the Broncos, the club that gave him a chance to play first grade at just 17 having recruited him from suburban Souths Acacia Ridge.
Hunt had played more than 100 first grade games with Brisbane, State of Origin for Queensland and 11 Tests for Australia as well as the 2008 World Cup.

"My manager and I met Henjak, (football manager) Pete Nolan and (then chief executive) Bruno (Cullen) in Bruno's office," Hunt recalls.
"It was nothing like the talks I'd had previously, when Wayne (Bennett) had been there."
Hunt left the meeting disillusioned and disenchanted.
"What was said in there really struck a nerve with me and got me thinking about the way things were being run and the way I was being treated," he says.
"That meeting ended my days as a diehard Broncos fan and player.
"From there I was able to step back and look at everything objectively. The emotion was gone."
The author of the article Dan Koch speculates Hunt's gripe with the Brisbane club was over the Broncos allegedly reneging on third-party agreements that never materialised.
Hunt also hints that was a contributing factor in prop forward David Taylor joining South Sydney.
"I had a great time at the Broncos and am proud to have been a part of the club," Hunt says.
"I still have a lot of friends at the club, but there's no doubt the Broncos club I left at the end of 2009 was very different to the club I arrived at in 2004."
But Hunt reveals the AFL deal was only sealed following talks with the code's chief executive Andrew Demetriou.
"There wasn't a contract at that stage. It was a month or two before we got into talking figures," Hunt says.
"People laugh, but it (the defection) was never about the money for me.
"I genuinely felt I had achieved everything I had set out to achieve in my rugby league career. I just liked the idea of taking on a challenge I knew most people would think was ridiculous."
There are those who want to see Hunt fail.
But former Sydney Swans champion and Queensland AFL development manager Mark Browning isn't one of them.
"He is a guy used to playing at the highest levels," Browning says in the Alpha article
I'll post my feelings at a later date on this subject what is ur opinion broncos and non brocos fans let me know

The Broncos are close to annoucing their centre with the front runners Gagi Beal Yow Yeh and the new mega impressiving looking fram of Alex Glenn who now tips the scales at 103kg it seems the Broncos have ordered all their backs to put on the kilos with Glenn leading the charge he was 93kg on 2010 and according to reports he's now 103kg

On another day of drama for the NRL club yesterday, it emerged that: the NSW Government had billed the Knights for the $430,000 replacement cost for turf damaged during a motocross event that was approved by the club last year through Hunter Venues; the Knights are chasing $240,000 compensation for relocated A-League games; and on top of their $3 million debt, the Knights owe the Tinkler Group $460,000.
Knights set to be sold to Tinkler
Tinkler has offered a package to not only by the knights but to pay off their debt and to guarantee the club 10 million a yr and also he promisses the knights fans the club will survive with him as owner
For me as an NRL fan i will say this i can't invision the NRL without the Knights you need them and at the end of the day it must be done the kinghts have to accept Tinklers bid they are in a massive Financial crisis and their is no way out other then to accept Tinklers bid worth over 100million let me know ur thoughts should they or shouldn't they accept

SBW has made it clear he won't be at the Dogs
it's believed the dogs wanted to smoke the piece pipe and talk about a possible return but SBW want's none of that he will make piece but their is no chance of him going to the dogs
The teams who are in talks from what i hear is
Roosters Storm Raiders Warriors Sharks
The Broncos are also in talks and appear to be favs if he does come back to the NRL due to the fact he don't want be in a team who don't have big names players in other words he don't want to be in a team where he will be the superstar and the only big name
Souths have also stated they will have talks with him which does suprise me i mean how the hell are they going to start talking pay checks when they have had to clean out half a roster just to fit Inglis under the cap now they wanna chase SBW who will ask for at least 500 thousend a yr with 3rd party deals if they do sign him exspect about a hell of alot of players to be getting the Beau Champion treatment lol

Now although Bennett has not annouced it i can tell u why he will be leaving
1st Dragons CEO says we are resigned to losing him
2nd An unknown member of Bennetts family has reportedly said he is coming home and will coach a Queensland based team
3rd Bennett accidently said a little more then he ment to when asked where he will be
he replied look at the moment it's all about the dragons but i will anouce where i'll be going he then said what i'll be doing
So add all these in it's not looking good but it gets worse with Boyd revealing he will not resign for 2012 if bennett is not there stating i will go where ever he goes even if i have to take a pay cut
Bennett laughs off reports he will go to souths
Saying won't happen
Good news though for saints fans the Dragons thump souths 32 to 10 in the Charity Shield
The Dragons were super impressive despite missing big guns such as Hornby but the dragons were looking a very dangerous squad with their young guns impressing and they discoverd a superstar in the making in Jake Bosden remeber the name Mr Scoop was very impressed by the Kid Souths though despite all the off season training i looks like they didn't work on the defense that let them down last yr early days yes but they need to fix this huge problem within 4 weeks
Comment by Mr Scoop
Saying i loved my time here but i will make a descission in for weeks
And my mail is he will return to the broncos with Henjack not been given a new deal for next yr
With the New Broncos CEO always believing Bennett needs to be coaching the Broncos and throw in Bennetts personal family reasons

Doggies to beat Bunnies souths are too dissapointing for me to back them there good there not so i have to go with doggies although both teams need to step it up
Knights to beat Raiders despite it being in canberra the raiders are just so shocking this yr i'd normally back em at home but not this week
