I'll take Dobbo's word over Sportingnews any day of the week
Broncos are in crisis. They have cap issues with overpaid duds in Boyd, Bird and Milford all contracted on big bucks. They also made the mistake of re-signing both of Lodge and TPJ.
For them, Oates will unfortunately pay the price and i wouldnt be surprised if they lose David Fifita who is off contract next year.
Boyd 800k
Milford 1m
Bird 1m
Lodge 700k
Haas 500k
TPG 600k
McCullogh 500k
They also need a 1,6,7 & 9 before re-signing Oates and Fifita
