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!

I'll update the signings list where appropriate.

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.

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..
Crusaders: Josh Hannay, Ryan O'Hara, Lincoln Withers, Mark Bryant, Adam Peek, Darren Mapp, Marshall Chalk
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 !

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Comment by mr scoop
1 Slater not as universial as hunt so i put slater at fullback
2 Sailor i was gonna pick boyd but with meninga saying he was a big prospect i couldn't say no the thought of the backline (Hodges Dell Inglis Izzy) such a huge backline bomb the crap out of nsw
3 Inglis given
4 Hodges given
5 Falou Given
6 Lockyer Do i have to even say why
7 Prince They'll pick thurston but id pick prince such a more deadly attacker
8 Price Given
9 Smith Given
10 Civoniceva
11 Stagg i know he plays lock at dogs but he can play 2nd row
12 Thaiday given
13 Johnson up in the air with him
14 Hunt more universial then slater he palys fb lock wing 58 hb
15 Hannant i'd pick him on form
16 Taylor you got to pck him he's big strong fast for a big man good hands dangerous raw and can score
17 Webb always lifts
Comment by mr scoop
1 Stewert he's got the skill and can score nsw need as manny point scorers as possible
2 Dave willams i just think the more big strike players the better
3 Jennings i have big raps on this kd he reminds me so much of hodges
4 cooper
5 Monaghan i would not pick him but you have to pick him to mark izzy alot of people say quinn turner but no i mean why not a grass hopper you know their gonna use air izzy
6 Barret/Campese my first choice is campese but i have this belief that you need a vet in the halves look a queensland with lock and JT i mean JT is exsperiance but is young com to locky if JT has a bad nght Locky has been there done that and can take control if thurston is off as to a younger guy who may panic so i'm not to sure thats why im leaning towards barret im not one for anasta he's had his chance
7 Wallace you cant pck anyone eles he debut for the blues was amazing nsw found their halfback that night his first touch he tore queensland apart they must pick him he lost his spot for one reason injury mull
