I feel like there were 50 things I wanted to stop and replay but there was too much going on, absolutely amazing game. the ruck speed and 10 metres was frustrating at times but overall the game was fantastic so maybe 1 ref is the way to go?

Best league game I've seen in a while, especially that first half.

I know it was a forward pass but that last "try" was a pretty good put down

Adam Blair to the Broncos. As much as we laughed abouyt the Blair siginin by the Tigers and his past form, he had a good season from what I saw, and a a great 4 Nations. Why are the Tigers systematically dumping their select few players who had a good 2014?

It frees up a lot of money for the Tigers who paid overs for him to play like poo poo bar one year

He has had one decent year for us and the rest of the time was terrible, I'm not too upset to see the back of him. Now which terrible overhyped player will we buy in his place?

They must be in backloaded contract salary cap hell.

loving Adam loving Bleh. Sure he might get back to somewhere near his Storm form at a more structured club like the Broncos, but still. Don't want him, don't need him and it sets a dangerous precedent. Before you know it we'll be signing Chris Sandow.

Nah I think it's a good signing for Brisbane, Blair played well last season and was great for the Kiwis. Broncos have a massive gap in their squad where the front rowers should be so they needed to sign somebody

YES NO TAKEBACKS IT'S SIGNED HAHA I'm sure we're trying to get a 5/8 (Foran) or a centre (Matai) but it's tough convincing guys to come over here from Australia if they're established over there. Offloading Watmough and Glenn Stewart has eased Manly's salary cap issues as well so I don't know if those are possibilities anymore either. I did hear a rumour that Eastwood was on the outs at the Bulldogs, would be an upgrade over Ikahihifo at lock.

We just booted our very own Martin Kennedy but then turned around a bought the Wests Tiger's version as his replacement. Still he's here now and hopefully shows what he's capable of at a club where the coach, captain, staff and board are all actually working together.

Kennedy really had a woeful season compared to 2013 and Hala/Hannant weren't impressive either, I'm glad they're gone. Broncos also have James Gavet and Mitch Garbutt coming next year but being excited about new players seems like a really optimistic attitude right now as a Broncos supporter. Then again Hook is gone as well so who knows. Overall though I'm just really glad the Broncos have apparently signed the best accountant in the business

I like having different U20s and reserve grade jerseys- it makes it clear that there's only one first grade jersey in the club.

He hasn't been superb lately but when firing he was a good rep front rower. But then I heard he went and played a local grade rugby union match for a central Queensland team during a bye week this year without getting permission from or even informing the club. If that's true it would explain why we didn't even offer him a cheap contract. E: the Broncos definitely have different u20s jerseys to the NRL ones. I thought every club did?

If that's true it would explain why we didn't even offer him a cheap contract. If he was shitlisted for playing amateur union while under contract, that's fair enough. It did seem odd that Kennedy continued to be picked in first grade when Hannant was obviously outperforming him.

One thing I find interesting is that the NRL went completely apeshit at Tinkler when the Knights hosed up payroll, how is the Tigers situation different, other than the number of players involved? Anasta suggesting that Austin, Blair and Thompson being released for cap/cash reasons has merit.

Except it could be about third party deals gone wrong, which is not a wholly tigers phenom (sup gasnier). Austin was never going to stay, blair was a no brainer and Thompson is hardly a household name. Half the tigers is skint, but they must spend 85% of the cap which is covered by tv money - they could have other targets in mind given there is still 4 months to go.

I'm fairly certain from what jt has said that they have some targets in mind but they're not available yet (or they don't want to tip anyone off, at least). It looks like Anasta is talking about third party deals signed under the old CEO and hopefully they get sorted out soon. Bad, but not as bad as it first seemed.

Its a miracle that the Tigers can even get people on the pitch to play at this point. I'm imagining a board running around hoovering up pokie money to spend on a meat pie and a new golf course in the eastern suburbs.

Also still don't know how to feel about Bennett being back in charge, or Darius Boyd being back. I liked Boyd while he was here but I don't think he is the right fullback for us. Also, lacking a muscly forward pack. Not had any big hitters for at least a season, with Hannant or Parker being the best of a bad bunch.

I've only lived in Brisbane for two months and I'm pretty sure every single day the radio has had some story fellating Bennett, and all of my coworkers talk about him like schoolgirls with a crush. It's bizarre.

Well, most people have met Bennett or his extended family. So its part of the big country town thing. Also, it might make the Broncos a death machine again, but we don't have the spine the Storm had in their salary cap cheating days.

Frank-Paul Nuuausala is off to Canberra. How was Ricky Stuart able to convince someone to play for him, and why did the Cunts let him go?
