Shock claim: Seibold âbulliedâ teen star The Broncos are reported to have attempted to âbullyâ teen star Sam Walker into signing a contract. It backfired spectacularly.
Rugby League by Tyson Otto 14th May 2021 11:25 AM In the 12 month nightmare of the Broncos recruitment crisis, bungling Sam Walker s future is quickly emerging as the second biggest mistake made. However, those big wins have come after 12 months of bleeding. David Fifita moved to the Titans - the club s worts mistake in years - while Xavier Coates recently decided to jump ship to the Storm and rising star Reece Walsh slipped through their fingers to join the Warriors.
The Broncos have announced Adam Reynolds has officially signed with the club on a three-year contract. The NRL s biggest club was in desperate need of some welcome recruitment news after a nightmare 12 months where the club has lost David Fifita, Reece Walsh and Tom Dearden - and they finally got it on Thursday morning. The club has announced Reynolds is locked in with the club until the end of the 2024 season - a deal reported to have been worth around $2.2 million. It is a big win for the Broncos after Reynolds reportedly received a richer offer from Cronulla and was also sentimental about staying with South Sydney.
The Brisbane Broncos are under siege.
A second Brisbane team is set to enter the NRL in 2023, the Titans are now a genuine rival - on and off the field - and along with the Storm, Warriors and Cowboys have shattered the illusion that the Broncos don’t lose players they want to keep.
First it was star forward David Fifita’s decision to turn down a lucrative deal to join the Titans last season.
Then the Warriors prised boom fullback Reece Walsh from Brisbane’s grasp earlier this season and the Cowboys snared halfback Tom Dearden.
Now the Storm have managed to lure Queensland Origin winger Xavier Coates to Melbourne.
Why can t he (Folau) play, Iles said. The most telling piece of data of all is that two-thirds of rugby league supporters believe sponsors have too big a role in deciding who gets to play and who doesn t. The ACL is committed to a free and fair opportunity for all Australians to play sport and earn a living without fear of discrimination. Anything less is an abuse of human rights.
Reynolds serious about Red Hill move The Broncos are privately confident of getting their man after coach Kevin Walters and new chief executive Dave Donaghy flew to Sydney last Sunday for talks with the South Sydney halfback.
