I would go for Lynch. We need our quota spots for backs as we cannot produce good enough backs in this country.

Luke Bailey would be my pick

At one point we were in the market for him. I think it was when Millward took over, might have been before.

Would be a cracking signing a real rough n tough prop forward and still has plenty of life left in him.

Bailey at 29 would be a outstanding signing and would put our pack right up with the best

Hopefully he's seen it as a win win situation. There is no other way this team can go after yesterday and if he does succeed then he's a legend if he doesn't then he knows he'll walk into a Union job anyway

High price of keeping Darren Lockyer : Mon Feb 09, 2009 4:25 pm  

High price of keeping Darren Lockyer THE Brisbane Broncos will have to find between $100,000 and $300,000 annually in marquee and third-party arrangements to keep off-contract champion Darren Lockyer. While the NRL won't chip in a single dollar to re-sign the Test skipper, there will be no repeat of the ugly Mark Gasnier contract dispute. That's the verdict of player manager George Mimis, who manages both Lockyer and Gasnier, as negotiations continue for the champion Broncos pivot beyond 2009. http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/s ... 66,00.html
