Nasheed here,
Most of you by now would have seenin the corner of your eye that the Brisbane Broncos, coached by Wayne Bennett, have reportedly offered the young ace 1.2 million a year to head to Red Hill.
What may be lost on most Kennelites is this may have an impact on our team both ways, It is just my opinion but hear me out.
If Bird DOESNT go to the Broncos.
If Bird opts out of the deal, or it goes under, then it is my opinion that the Broncos will try and throw a solid amount of cash at another half who can cover both the 6 and 7 slots.
This is where the Bulldogs come in.
With Cronk opting out, and Mbye on the reported outer at the dogs, I think that Brisbane may just ask the question of Mbye.
It is no secret that he has been in the system before like Ash Taylor (a junior who has been approached) and like Taylor, I think the Broncos will try and target a relatively experienced but young QLD half. They have made murmurs about it before;

This is positive for us, as much as Mbye doesnt click for the dogs, he still has a solid reputation out there in the market and I think most coaches of quality would back themselves into making Mbye a star, and I could soooo see Bennett offering him a line to take him off our hands, which allows us to retain Reynolds and make Cronk/Forangood offers.
Excellent scenario.
Also, if that doesnt pan out, it is possible they approach Frawley as well. However that isnt a big chance, but its another dog in the fight for Frawley.
