So both Oates and TPJ are set to shun massive offers and re sign with the Broncos for 40% or so less than what they'd earn elsewhere. And Lodge will do the same.

And to think people have a go at our supposed Sombrero!

The Broncos should be winning the comp every 2nd year with the advantages they have. They are quite frankly the biggest underachievers in Australian sport this century to date.

The #penaltybroncos campaign softens them up imo. We on the other hand get a pasting from the officials at times and it only makes us stronger.

As a lifelong and devoted Roosters fan that grew up in the Ipswich (a demographic monument to Alfie Langer but also the original home of one L Keary thankfully) I can tell you the Broncos have an advantage that is beyond comprehension. The Thoroughbreds ( basically every business identify in SEQ with a multi-million bank account) pump enormous amounts into the club, they look after the players with any dodgy arrangement they can dream up, a bunch of ignorant supporters who all feed into an massive junior base. Players do get treated well up here and they pack a recruitment punch. So the question has rightly been asked here, why have they won sh@t since 2006 (thanks Ben Hunt), 12 years of sucking it........well done the drongo entitlement and good luck TPJ, collect your cheque feel like a king and win nothing.

[QWERTY]

i reckon out of tapau and tpj id go for tapau at this stage. Preferably though, i wouldnt sign anyone and just let platers like butcher, collins and faamusili a chance. And i think that is what Robinson will do, trust in those young players to perform

The Roosters do the same. It's about being smart and using the rules to your advantage with TPA's.
IA player manager works to entice a business who is not associated with the players club to pay the player some extra money as part of the sign on fee.

My business could say give a Brisbane player $50,000 and it wouldn't go on the Brisbane cap as I am not associated with Brisbane.
Why would I do that? That's a good question.

From Ipswich too, and this is spot on. They are a well run club as far as business is concerned but they have chosen poor football descisons time and time again.

the catchment areas they have and the talent they are capable of choosing from is unbelievable.

But it the funny thing about it is, they don’t even bother attempting to form a relationship with the grass roots football of rugby league. There’s no relationship, simply send scouts to the carnivals and look for the biggest and best.

I’ve been able to spend some time with some of the Broncos players that have been sent out to kids carnivals and footy camps. And they are the most arrogant blokes I’ve ever met, 90% of Broncos players believe they are gods.

Years back the Roosters took over the Ipswich area with the Ipswich junior rugby league, sending down players and playing a trial here, and I can honestly say they are a sensational club to deal with and the players always made in effort with kids and fans.

This is why we are successful and they aren’t, we acknowledge that football is more than the big games, it comes in all different shapes and sizes, and the Roosters as a club show that they respect that. While the Broncos have no care and only consider corporate $$$

Anyway just my my two cents haha.

[NorfolkStreetKid]

I reckon TPJ is a big headed moron who has all the size and strength and speed but is a grub at heart and has no ticker when the chips are down. I hope he never wears the RWand B.

[ROC181]

What I see in TPJ is another Fifita....Good players but self absorbed in their own egos. I don't think Robbo could tolerate that.

[Kelby]

Yes, he appears to be a big grub and dirty. Too full of his own shit.

Back to Taupow!

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Im not sure Tapau is much different in that department...not so much dirt but a bit full of himself etc..

[Kelby]

I think Tapow, if he came to us, would be a small fish in a big bowl. I think he would be grateful to be at a great club and working under Robbo. He knows he can win a premiership with us and have a stable environment to be at his best.
I think he would lower his contract price as well.


If not to all of the above, well he can stay at manly and rot.

[Mickie Lane]

A bit dirty & a grub is exactly what every Premiers team needs.
The Roosters are lucky they already have a few of them but another one wouldn’t go astray

I don't know what your definition of a grub is so please tell us who you think is a grub in our team?

A dirty hard arse is what people call a grub these days.

My definition of what others call a grub is playing the game tough & trying to hurt the opposition not being farkin friends with them all.
The Roosters have got 4 blokes that want to rough up, niggle or hurt the opposition.
JWH
Napa
Radley
Latrell and thank God we have them.
If you don’t want dirty players (grubs) in the Roosters team then maybe Rugby League isn’t the game that you should follow.
The physicality of the game & watching tough men trying to hurt each other is why I watch it.

Whoa chill out with the suggestions of what I should follow. I don’t think the players you mentioned are grubs. They play it tough but they do it up front without the odd knee, squirrel grips or cheap shots like Fifita, McGuire, Burgess and now Woods to mention a few. I don’t think Robbo wants our players to be like that. Chill out dude!
