Official Broncos release James Roberts - signs with Souths effective immediately.

[Mr Invisible]

I'm sure this will end well..

Drinky drinky...

Ahh feck it. Just bought Doueihi into my supercoach squad thinking he would easily lock down a centre spot given Kyle Turner and Ethan Lowe have been playing there most of the year...

Doueihi may play on the other side.

Statement: Roberts Granted Immediate Release

The Brisbane Broncos have granted James Roberts an immediate release from the remainder of his contract on compassionate grounds.

Broncos CEO Paul White said Roberts had reached out to the Club and indicated his strong desire to return home to New South Wales with his partner and two young children.

“While we are disappointed to lose James, we understand his position – it wasn’t in the best interests of the Club to stand in the way of a player who has expressed a honest and strong desire to return home,” said White.

“We’ve always supported James since he arrived at our Club, and we have continued to work really hard over recent months to keep him at the Broncos.

“He has gone through tough times and great times with us. He has had two children and represented his state while being a Bronco.

“But he strongly feels that he needs to act in the best interests of his family, and that means returning to his family support network in New South Wales.

“All parties have worked together to facilitate a result that is best for all involved.

“These decisions are difficult for the player and for the Club, but one thing we do emphasise at the Broncos is that player welfare always comes into consideration when balancing decisions.

“This is the right decision for James, his family and our Club, and we thank James for all he has given to the Broncos and wish him all the best in the future.”

Only until Gagai is back.

Was going to slot him in at hb but I'm not going to bother if I can't make coin.

Heard we were very close to signing him!
Apparently signing the contract on the back of a used game program from a back to Belmore match with a pencil that was borrowed from the TAB turned him off.

His signature would have been a lock if we wrote the contract on the back of a multi bet docket with the opposing centre to score 1st try

What could possibly go wrong by moving back to Sydney? There are no temptations here...

116k for the remainder of 2019

Gagai will go back to where he’s elite- on the wing

Inglis' retirement money. Don't agree with it but that's how the salary cap works.

Sorry mate, meant those wanting us to sign him.

Don’t care!! What gets me more is how other clubs make signings and mid season etc and we can’t do sweet fuck all, the makes the blood boil, what a state of depression our club is in!!

Grrrrrrr!!!!!!!!

I think Wayne is going to find out the hard way its a lot harder to cover things up in Sydney then it is in Brisbane.

 

[dogluva]

What a massive laugh I had about this news. Wayne Bennett denied that there was any intention to sign the bloke nek minute 2 1/2 year deal.

Press release from the Broncos can be taken with a grain of salt...they have now been able to get rid of a problem child elsewhere so they can sign another player...
