    I think it's a good move, watching on the weekend him at lock is a bad fit there. I was saying to my step dad he should go somewhere where he can get in as 5/8 as he's not a bad player.

    Off the bench for Roosters and cover if anyone goes down a good move by them too

    Yeh something obviously wrong at Newcastle that he was calling Trent Robinson for advice about heading the ESL but ended up happily signing for less dollars and less years in a squad position where he'll play less minutes.

    Conveniently or coincidentally depending on what side of the fence you sit on its just emerged that Ponga is eligible to talk to other clubs from November 1 as his two year extension option is only activated if Newcastle win a premiership before by 2022.

    What do Broncos fans think of Darren Lockyer?

    I'm amazed he's come out and said he'd never seen Sam Walker play until he was at the Roosters. I don't know what his exact title is but I'm sure he's one of the key voices on their recruitment decision making team..

    Not like this is a kid they plucked from nowhere either, always had a fair amount of hype around him. Jobs for the boys is always a risky business and they're now with Ikin (head of football dept), Walters (head coach) & Lockyer (head of recruitment?).

    I read this at work, but read it differently. I thought his player options were only player options if they won a comp, so basically he could only leave on the condition they win a comp.

    I've not been a fan of him for a long time. Lockyer has been absolutely putrid and has only kept his job as he was Jesus on the field.

    To add onto the shithouse recruitment, we are letting Bullemor leave who has more potential than all the coconuts they will keep.

    Panthers have given Edwards an extension. I would think that means they'll shop Staines around.

    Roosters getting Ponga and Tedesco ending up back at Tigers feels like the natural order of things.

    Titans signing Isucko makes me very sad

    Farnworth has extended and Cobbo is close to resigning too. Good to see the Broncos holding onto their young guys.

    Awesome to see that they have been able to keep these guys together.

    From all reports Herbie will be used at 1 next year, with Cobbo to left centre.

    I hope they don't. I like it the way it is tbh.

    I think moving Cobbo to centre will more likely reduce his effect on the game than increase it. TMM is doing alright and Niu was actually looking like he was getting the hang of things before he got injured.

    I think TMM is a 6, and could be effective there. Cobbo definitely has it in him to play left centre.

    True, but I think Cobbo's more valuable on the wing.

    Lodge and Haas to reunite at the Dolphins?

    Lodge makes a lot of sense given the family connections.

    Haas makes a lot of sense as a marquee player for the club and I can't see any other club paying over a million for a front rower.

    I'm glad he is leaving Brisbane. He is the best prop in the game, but he has so much baggage, and at the end of the day he is a prop. Brisbane have Carrigan, Flegler, Jensen, Palasia and Willison to use in a prop rotation which is still top tier for an NRL pack. Use the money from Haas on Munster or Burton who both come off contract same time.

    Wouldn't be releasing him early unless we are given a player in return.

    This Lodge situation is very strange

    Yeh very suspect.

    Looks like a pay out to keep quiet about something. Whatever happened at that bar that night.

    If it's all true and he actually asked for a release I'm surprised he played last night tbh.

    Not even like the Broncos have been unreasonable, he's on 750k this year and 800k next as per court documents from his falling out with his previous manager.

    Has a very SBW/Bulldogs feel about it. NRL should allow the Broncos to release him as per his request and then not register his next contract until 2025.

    Didn't that happen at the start of the year? Seems odd that that would be the reason now.
