Neville costigan signed for the dragons

Comment by ethos

August 13th 2008 11:01
Thanks for the comment anonymous.

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!

no problem mate, its a good site. In terms of rumors i have heard that the Dogs are interested in Darius Boyd and that they are either trying to do an offer with the dragons to give back morris and instead purchase boyd or else take both from the dragons. Have you heard anything about who dragons are considering siging? Also, i hear Lockyer has purchased property in Blakehurst (Sydney) and is looking to link up with the dragons next year as a trainer (i.e. he will retire from the broncos) - i'm not sure how true but it sounds reasonable.

Comment by ethos

August 15th 2008 04:37
I heard that one about Boyd as well but I'm fairly certain that he's going to follow Bennett to the Dragons next season.

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..

Thanks for those. I'll add some of them in.

Would you happen to have a link to a news article about the signings of Armit and Cleal? I had a quick look around on the internet but I couldn't find anything.

Just want to double check to make sure.

I was at the Dragons V Warriors game at WIN and Reynoldson said he was starting a personal training business next year during the speeches after the game. He's not playing in the NRL from what he was saying.

Thanks for those rumours Jayz. Well spotted.

More players leaving the NRL, it's starting to get a bit tiresome..

And by the way, what are your feelings about this week's match previews? Please feel free to add your thoughts to those as well!

Comment by Jayz

September 12th 2008 23:33
Big Hype going into the match with the dragons and manly. Dragons have got a really good record against them, including at brookvale (Dragons 20-18 Manly This year) I would love to see dragons win but I think Manly are going to fire up on them

Comment by ethos

September 13th 2008 00:39
I've just updated the Saturday night preview article, so please have a read.

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 losing respect for the game

September 15th 2008 09:51
this is bulls**t why r so many topname players going overseas i am a young man who is losing all respect for the game i once loved as many people i have seen or talked to about why cant the nrl put the salary cap up so players dont feel they have to go there. Its not there fault but i do belive some sort of loyatie is due, even if its not for there club they could at least stay in the countrie and finish there careas here. i no the salary cap is to keep the teams far and which it has been doing, showing especailly in this years comp but i belive thats partly due to all the top name players leaving to overseas clubs. I belive clubs and the NRL should do more to keep players here shawly by now you would have noticed the current system isnt working and i belive most players are not to be blamed on there desicions but in cases like SBW that is a dog act to the game that made him who he is today and to all his teammates and fans [if he ever is game enough to come back to the countrie someone needs to show him what respect is all about], all the young players look up 2 the older ones and when they see them go for the money why shouldnt they. I just think its rediculas how we r losing all the top players what has it got to come to before action is taken or will we soon be left with a competion full of talent like a hair on a monkeys ball. I could sitt here all night carring on how the game will one day be nothing in this countrie but i will leave u with my final thought. is this a big plan from the NRL and the soccer assosiations to tear abart the game and send the fans to such a girls game like soccer i think it verywell couldbe cause thats excatually wats happening.. will someone save the game of true champions before we lose it forever.. what ever happened to loyaltie.

'Loosing respect for the game'
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

September 16th 2008 04:28
yer jayz you could b rite. we have magnificant stars rising up through the ranks but wats to say they wont leave also who cares if greg inglas has signed a long contract because that doesnt mean if some1 offers him better money overseas he wont take it just like SBW i agree with "losing respect 4 the game" there is no loyaltie no more its all about the money. something needs to happen to keep the stars here. they need to teach the young stars somthing about loyalie. we need less people defending this because all it is doing is letting the nrl think its ok its all crap. all that is happening is the other leages overseas r benifiting from the nrl and all the work they do to build the stars wats the point in continuing if we r just letting quaility players go all to keep the game "fair" . the nrl should b taking more forward steps instead of bakwards while the clubs overseas profit from our stars why cant they build up there on stars instead of buying ours. they have heaps more people than australia but have a bunch of pussys who r scared 4 a little contact and wanna play there soccer. this is crap we r losing our game to the overseas market.

September 18th 2008 05:17
Good to see some discussion guys!

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.

Thanks for that. I do remember hearing about Smith but just forgot to add him to the list.

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.

Thanks for the comments folks.

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!

All u aussie bitches who Keep whinging about SBW need to pull your heads out of your asses the nrl did not make sonny bill williams he was going to be great wateva he played and for a player of that skill 2 b payd 400,000 wen he could easily be making double that sumwea else ud be an idiot not to take it he asked for a release they said no so he left He owes the Nrl nothing they have already made millions from` selling his image. Players shud be able to choose wats best for themselves and there familys fuck the Nrl and fuck the fans are any of you gonna look after sonny bill in 40 years time??? exactly so pull ur whingin heads out your asses.

Comment by Anonymous

October 16th 2008 23:28
To the guy who loves sonny bill a tad too much. Sonny Bill was a good player, yes. But he was very over rated. In the past there have been alot of other players who have been alot better then sonny bill williams. These players never walked out on contracts and never said "fuck you" to the fans. No one is saying that he shouldnt have taken the money over in france good on him. But I think the biggest thing he did was walk out on his contract, club and yes his fans. Look at beaver menzies. I know who I would rather have on my team.

And are the broncos being left with any decient backs for next season?

Comment by The Game is No Longer the Same

October 17th 2008 20:28
1. Scrum is stupid how ball feed in as wrong
2. Game is too soft now

Hey folks,

Thanks for all the comments and apologies that the site hasn't been very active over the past week or so - I've been particularly busy and just haven't had the time to write anything. Hopefully I'll get some world cup related thoughts posted over the next day or few.

I'll update the signings list where appropriate.

And by the way, I couldn't find any details about Pat Richards on the internet. Is this just a rumour? Or, did you read something, somewhere?

Thanks again for the news. I put Shortland, Koopu and Rovelli in the rumours section until we hear something official.

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 !

OTHER SIGNINGS NOT LISTED ABOVE FOR THE NZ WARRIORS




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

Thanks once again folks. In response to the questions..

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!

Matt Sing To Broncos
THE Broncos have pulled off the most exciting signing to date, with classy ex-Cowboys player Matt Sing set to link up to the Broncos for the 2009 season on a two-year deal. Having just returned from a stint with Super League side Hull FC, 32-year-old Matt Sing had been approached by four other unnamed clubs, but the Broncos won the race for his signature.

Used mainly on the wing, the former Queensland State of Origin and Australian representative is an ideal replacement for Darius Boyd, who signed with the Dragons for the 2009 NRL season.
Sing last played in the NRL at the end of the 2006, scoring a prolific 73 tries in his 4 years at the North Queensland Cowboys club.

'As a kid the Broncos were the team you wanted to play for as a Queenslander, growing up in central west Queensland they were my heroes,' said a beaming Sing.

He is one of five new faces to be shown off by Brisbane in early January, lining up alongside Israel Folau (Melbourne), Legi Setu (Dragons), Ben T’eo (Tigers) and Aaron Gorrell (Les Catalans Dragons).

They face the task of filling the hole left by the likes of departed stars Denan Kemp (Warriors), Ben Hannant and Michael Ennis (both Bulldogs), Tonie Carroll (retirement), Greg Eastwood (Leeds Rhinos), Darius Boyd (Dragons) and Premiership winning half-back Shane Perry (Les Catalans).

Sing admitted he first entertained thoughts of moving to Brisbane when flying home to Australia weeks after finishing a two year deal with Hull FC.

The idea gained momentum when watching the opening match of the Rugby League World Cup, realising just how much he missed playing in the NRL.

The most confusing question remains, where will Matt Sing play in a star-studded backline, already tipped as the most formidable for the 2009 Season?

Rugby League Analyst Scott Henderson believes the backline will most likely consist of
(1) Karmichael Hunt (2) Matt Sing (3) Justin Hodges (4) Israel Folau (5) Jharyl Yow Yeh/Steven Michaels.

Whichever players make up the Brisbane Broncos backline for 2009, this recent news is sure to set the punters into over-drive and tipping the Broncos as Premiership favourites

It'd be disappointing to see Benji go off to union. Even though he's won a premiership and a world cup, he hasn't really reached his potential yet.

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.

Hey jim,

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 !

okay i'm a little late on this news cause my internet was acting up but many are world club champions after defeating leeds 28-20 the match was full of stunning decisions two manly high tackles that were penalized which clearly showed why the nrl is clearly the tougher sport the two tackles would of been rewared in the nrl but in the less tough B-Grade super league it's too dangerous steve ganson the video ref continued his reign of controversy awarding a try that clearly was not a try replays show a knock on but mr controversy ganson award it over all it was an average display by manly who at times showed a glimpse of what their capable off and i'm not a manly lover but watching that game live i realized if manly had of played to there full ability they could of put 70 on leeds leeds did manage to come from behind only due to manly switching off but there was two positives to come out that match 1 the fights two all out brawls certainly brightened up my morning (Manly clearly winning the encounters the best fight of the night was josh perry belting the snot out of the poms loud mouth jamie peacock who did start the fight which led to both men being sin bined which pissed me off cause peacock had to be sent to the bin no doubt but perry should not of been sent i mean peacock came in with a rough tackle then threw the first 2 or 3 punches perry was just protecting him self and he gets put in the bin which pisses me of cause i'm not a manly fan and i'm not a big josh perry fan he has caused some controversy off and on the field but he was defending him self i mean if im walking down the street and someone clocks me in the side of the head i'm gonna get up and kick the piss out of him just like you would your defending your self what i got from that decision is if your clocked in the head in a game of league u are supposed to lay down and take it like a bitch which is bull i mean i have no problem sending the guy who throws the first punch to the bin and the third man in to the bin but the i dont agree with sending the guy who is decked to the bin cause he decides to get up and protect himself thats if he isn't out cold by the way i think its bull what do you thnk) anyway the second positive is manly chose to show up and try to win unlike many other aussie teams who chose not to take the cup seriously lets be honest teams in the nrl have not taking it seriously cause they dont wanna risk their big guns before the season opener and if a team does field a strong team they dont push them selves but finally a team takes it serious cause lets face the nrl teams are better but they dont take it seriously but now manly have won this cup lets hope it will change and the nrl team will step up and take it seriously also bird is on his way to les catalans also not that i wonna write about $onny bill but $onny bill is playing for the barbarians against australia he claims he isn't doing to stir up controversy and make money off of interveiws and i believe him i mean money bill sorry i mean $onny bill whould never do something to stir up controversy or to make money whould he thats it for now

In relation to your thoughts on the Perry v Peacock fight, from what I saw in some highlights, Peacock was definitely the aggressor and I also think Perry had no other choice but to swing back.

okay just as i finished that last scoop i have been informed of some new info gallen wants to ban trials cause of injury risk to players
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

okay good luck to your team this year here are the odds as of today so if you read these in six weeks dont write to me complaining as of right now these are the odds
To win comp
Manly $4 Melbourne $6 NZ $9 Brisbane $11
Cronulla $11 Dragons $11 Cowboys $13 Roosters $17
Newcastle $17 Bulldogs $26 Gold Coast $26 Eels $26
Canberra $34 Tigers $34 Bunnies $41 Panthers $51
Wooden spooners
Manly $101 Storm $81 Broncos $41 Bulldogs $11 Canberra $9 Sharks $67 Knights $13 NZ $51
Cowboys $34 EELS $13 Panthers $3.50 Bunnies $4.50
Dragons $34 Roosters $34 Tigers $11 Gold Coast $5
Top Four
Broncos $2.30 Bulldogs $7 Canberra $9 Sharks $2.50
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
Remeber season kicks off on FRIDAY

Okay to all the manly fans who are saying watmough inncident is water under the bridge think again i can reveal that the sponser in the watmough incident has revealed what happend that night he said watmough was blind drunk & was harassing his 21 yr old daughter he stepped in and ask watmough to calm down and watmough punched him the sponser know as paul says despite what people think it is not over & he says he may sue also bret stewert has been told his avo is now been pushed up to a month after it was extended
also craig wing will not play for souths & mason will not play for roosters
Broncos will play three rookies in opener against cowboys
K Hunt will play against cowboys he was never gonna play but he has over come a tear which was exspected to keep him out for the first round
Cronulla rookie blake ferguson will make debut he is cousin of solomoon humono (may be spelt wrong)
grothe will play 100th game for para

Okay im just revealing news that i have stumbled accross i dont know when this news broke but i assumed the bret stewert inncident was a he said she said inncident but it turns out there were witnesses that have revealed that it was stewert & he was indeed drunk and had to be pulled off of his 17yr old neighbour now how the hell can it be a case of did he or didn't he when there are witnesses who say he not only attacked her but had to be pulled off her i mean i mean i dont wish to hang the man before he's proven guilty but how can you say the man is not guilty when many witnesses say he attacked the guy & had to be pulled off of her i dont dislike stewert he is one of the best players in the nrl but its looking kind of bad for the guy let me know if you think he's guilty or not

Okay manly ceo says we will not stand bret stewert down despite being charged NRL Legend Laurie Daily says its wrong manly should stand him down its the right thing to do
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 bret symour says if he gets serious injury again he may retire

Penrith Panthers sign Newcastle halfback Luke Walsh for the rest of the season.

Comment by ethos

March 16th 2009 06:45
Thanks for all the discussion guys. It's been great.

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:

The Brisbane Broncos would like to advise that they have today withdrawn their
contract offer to Karmichael Hunt.
Broncos’ chief executive Bruno Cullen said the Broncos were very comfortable
with the offer that was made, but unfortunately are not in a position to wait any
longer as Karmichael and his management pursue other options.
“The time frames were not suitable to either the Brisbane Broncos or
Karmichael’s management and as a club we have had to withdraw the offer
and move on,” said Cullen.
“I must stress that this does not mean that the Broncos do not want to retain
Karmichael Hunt.
“What it means is the club will now go about securing our roster for 2010 and
the future, which may or may not include Karmichael Hunt.”

Oh Jessie girl your making ne blush like a school girl LOL but seriously thank you look dont worry firt of all hunt could still remain at the broncos if he takes a pay cut but if he does go well there are quality full backs you have gerald beal who is a good fullback josh hoffman is a guy who is the one who was destined to take over hunts roll when he moved to five eight after locky retires he's got first grade matches under his belt he tore teams up in his past matches so he is more then ready but the man who fills in for hunt will be hodges he is a fullback many people dont know that but he is he was a huge part of the reason the broncos took the tiitle in 06 when bennet put him at fullback he tore teams to shreds and he is one of the reason people say the broncos aren't afraid to lose hunt so the broncos are going to be fine he has always wanted to play fullback thats why he came to the broncos also to be captin so dont worry jessie

knights won 24 12
it was a match that was full of injurys mullen ribs could be out for a couple of weeks simpson hamstring
but the worst injury was camron suraldo (maybe spelt wrong) but he suffered an ankle injury which was a gross injury it was too hard to watch i seen it live it was bad he was later rumoured to be maybe a dislocated ankle but what i saw was no dislocation i thought i seen bone poking through the skin it was not pretty either way he wont be there next week thats for sure he'll be gone for a long time

March 24th 2009 05:23

No man he didn't it was a talented english rugby league player named leon walker he collasped in 63rd minute he was air lifted to a hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival
so please man it's one thing to mess up a team line up or a players injury or even a signing but dont write something about a players death unless your a hundred percent sure these players have familys man and fans who are going to be distroyed over your quote that is just wrong

Anonymous, Matt Cooper is not suspended and will be available this weekend for the Dragons.

Also, great work Mr Scoop on chasing up all the info.

I was thinking about creating a new post called 'Mr Scoop's News' or something like that because this page is starting to get pretty long. It'd be the same as what you're doing here except just in a different place.

What do think think mate?

henjack supports hodges suspension saying the nrl need to stamp it out which i say is a suprise that a coach is supporting the suspension ussally they just bitch which once again suprises me cause they ussally wine also broncos legend shane ur a god webcke sorry dont mean to sound biest but anyway his book hard road due out next week has been stopped by webcke because of controversial pieces in the book about his thoughts on joey being inducted to the team of the centery his thoughts on the bad boys of the nrl (Off field inncidents) and what he thinks is wrong with the current nrl administration he will release a statement later this week
also cory parker says he is looking to facing off with his good friends in Tate Kemp Moon when broncos battle warriors parkers says broncos will be watchinhg out for tate who is one of the nrls best centers saying no matter where he plays hes dangerous also he says they will focuss on stacy jones saying he's still got it

I reckon it would be great, so that people could read the stuff you write more more easily, rather than having to scroll down to the bottom of this page each time.

Basically I'd just make a new post and then you could comment below the new post just like you're doing here.

Was thinking about calling it 'News and Gossip with Mr. Scoop'. Are you happy with that?

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

Comment by mr scoop

March 26th 2009 03:11
Alex
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

Speaking of worst kept secrets - has anyone got anything that will put the Crocker going to Souths story to bed?

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.

Comment by mr scoop

March 26th 2009 04:46
not blank
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

Comment by mr scoop

March 26th 2009 05:27
okay no i dont think so first reason smith has sad i dont want to play five eight he says i feel lost playing five eight thats the main reason why i say no 2nd he's the best hooker in the nrl perhaps in the world why change him to five eight you want to free up inglish to play center buy a five eight or bring up toyota cup five eight dont move the best hooker in the nrl the broncos did move the worlds best fullback to five eight in lockyer but he wanted too he was interested he wanted to move postions smith dont so if he dont want to play there it is not gonna work as far as melbourne go yeah they'll make the finals if they leave smith alone you watch the match against brisbane he was lost at five eight and if they avoid injury i mean they only have three strike points smith slater inglish yeah they have cronk and isa and chambers but they are not in the same league as the trio and if they lose any of the trio then that would be a different story as long as the trio stay injury free and smith stays at hooker they'll be there and as far as manly go they'll be there for sure there still got a strong team with or with out stewert the only that will stop manly is if they lose two many more matches they may not be able to catch up their 0/2 if they lose for eg their next 3 and r 0/5 that could be a problem cant see it happning but u never know thats the only thing that can stop them as long as they keep up with the top eight they'll be there and will be hard to beat

Bronco power
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

March 26th 2009 22:11
Individually the weekend Origin team looks great on paper, but you don't develop combinations overnight... I'd be happy with that team, but I wouldn't have unrealistic expectations of killing the opposition...

Gee I'm gutted that Hodges is out this weekend, but it's not like we dont have some awesome replacements! Yippie kai Yow Yeh!

Comment by ethos

March 27th 2009 01:36
I have to agree with Scoop here, we have got some talented depth this year. A lot of inexperienced rookies but I'm confident that they can step up if given the chance. And we won't have as many players involved in Origin which will help ease the burden.

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.

And, anonymous, I'm pretty sure there is an option in the email that allows you to unsubscribe.

And it's great to hear from some Broncos supporters over in New Zealand. Enjoy the game on Saturday night !

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.

F0rmer eels halfback Brett Finch cud b 0ff to the storm......It's no secret that they hav issues at five-eighth and whether Greg Inglis is best suited in the position.and if u lo0k at it that waii finch wud fit in ther so0 thn Inglis cud return to the centres. ther is intrest in the UK super league with Huddersfield... which is coach by Nathan Brown......his future shuld b sorted in the nxt week also but wudnt surpise me if sumfn kumz up in the coming days.......panthers lo0k to b out of the race for him.........which i fnk is a good move being a panthers fan. i wud lyk to av him ther.but we av got wot we av got ther nw n plus we signd former knights half luke welsh the 0tha week so0 ifnk we shuld jst stick wiv that......

Okay first as far as finch being told he was no longer needed at paramatta may have something to do with anderson wanting matt head according to a dragons unnamed official head was asking if giving an op to play at another club would he be able to be released he was told yes im not saying he is but there is big money on head going to para anderson has stated his love of head (matt head stop giggling ) also finch is most likly to go to melbourne although there are many nrl clubs after him

Luke macdougalls stint at the knights could be over after it was leaked that the knights are unhappy with him he signed with newcastle mid season from the dragons in 07 but has only played two games since it was revealed that they will try to unload him or if worse comes to worse release him
Souths want big dave taylor offering the man mountain big dollars to join souths on 750.000 souths are just one of many clubs chasing him others are rumored to be penrith melbourne manly roosters canberra sharks and more
Bellemy admits he has made coaching mistakes this year and says he is to blame for melbournes form slump
And on a serious not steve price may not play again this season due to his throat injury he told reporters in a interveiw that it is more serious then first thought saying he is too scared to return to the nrl to soon saying he was told one hit to the throat and he could die saying i will not return the nrl this year if told not to saying he wont risk his life

Scoope im a price fan i knew he got injured but didnt know it was that serious whats actullay wrong with him if you know also how did manly go i suspect they would of lost but also w about nights warriors
Go Broncos

Comment by Mr scoop

April 12th 2009 08:12
Yeah it is serious very serious he was told a year on the side line is not out of the question if he has a knock to the throat his airwaves could close and his breathing would cease and he would need a tracheotomy what that means is they would need to make an incision in his throat and a tube would be inserted to make an artificial opening
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

He is in limbo he was going to the uk super league but had visa problems and was not able to go he was going to take a contract in nrl but has not as of yet souths was an option but they have not given him an offer according to JT(Jason Taylor) so i really dont know what he is doing i think he may just be waiting on visa but if it dont come with in the year he'll be a little rusty but the time he gets over there to the uk

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

April 14th 2009 09:42
Here it is as i promissed u jessie my predicton on how teams will fair
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

Hey folks, good to see plenty of discussion!

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
