Ahhhh Ben

[theGman]

Well played Ben and Manager.
He got there in the end.

[HDTONE]

Yeah but the ponies offered him a job after he's done playing.....maybe that's a big earner

[mightyrooster]

So they get him for considerably cheaper than he’s on now and with a roster stacked with origin players. I wonder if Tallis will cast any innuendo over this signing.

And you chipped me for trawling social media sites. lol

This comment has aged well.


Good one ol chap.

IT’S official - Ben Hunt will be playing for the Brisbane Broncos under new coach Michael Maguire in 2025. Hunt has agreed to a two-year deal worth around $600,000-a-season to return home to Red Hill in Brisbane.

lol so he walked out of 1.2 for 600? thats not gonna sit well

The rumour in some media is Hunt for a bit over $800k to the ponies.

Life goes on and we face next season hopefully with some grit and purpose. Oh and let's work on cutting out the stupid errors and maybe some practice on holding on to the ball

[roosterproud]

If the drongos get HUnt i think they will ditch Cobbo. surely their cap must be tight with the extensions extension of walsh. they lost oats only i think

Spending money for the sake of it doesn't make a whole lot of sense either. That's something Wests Togers would do. We can easily spend it in other ways if there isn't a player on the market that we need or want. You can front end contracts, upgrade existing players which would all make sense when there isn't much out there to choose from.

I agree, but if all we do is front end contracts and we don't fill the holes we need to & perform next season, we will end up like the Tigers in no time.

Train and Trial Halves

Toby Rodwell – Half
Jake Elliott - Half
Hugo Savala - Half
Reece Foley – Half

[Rooster90]

Good news at last.

I agree, i like Savala - we need a bigger body half

[Mr Whippet]

He is in our train and Trial squad

Good news at last.

[HunchoRooster]

I have a high opinion of Hunt as a player but not to the extent that I felt it was absolutely vitaI for our hypothetical premiership chances to get him.

However I do fear us running Sandon and Townsend in the halves for 75% of the season. Yikes.

[Headless Chook]

You need to spend your cap space somewhere though and the fact we have offloaded so many players and are yet to make any significant signings supports what media is saying. Terrible cap management if true.

I'm fine with not signing Ben, but we have holes in our squad that need filling imo. 5/8, hooker, FRF, backup fullback and another decent goal kicker would be handy.

Hunts 1.2 is over two years no? The dolphins offered him 800 and 600 so i read - so broncs haven't paid 1.2 per year they've paid 600. Good deal both ways i reckon. they need him way more than us other than for the first half of next year.
