It's boring more than anything.

Not that this place needs to be an echo chamber of positivity, but the constant droning is tedious

I feel the same about the perennial optimism but aren't that bothered that I constantly post about it

I wish i felt we had something to be optimistic about Pete

Aussie press linking us and Saints with Sailor apparently.

Meanwhile, Tristan Sailor is weighing up his future at the Broncos as Super League clubs wage a bidding war to poach Reece Walsh’s fullback understudy.

With Walsh away on Queensland Origin duty, Sailor will be a crucial backfield weapon for a Brisbane side under pressure to snap a five-game losing streak in Saturday night’s clash against the Dragons at Suncorp Stadium.

But how long Sailor remains in Broncos colours remains to be seen amid poaching raids from Super League clubs Hull FC and St Helens.

In an intriguing twist, Broncos coach Kevin Walters’ assistants, Lee Briers and John Cartwright, are in the thick of the fight and on a collision course for Sailor’s signature.

Briers will depart Brisbane at season’s end and is tipped to be an assistant at St Helens, while Cartwright will take theremins at Hull FC and is keen to make Sailor his marquee Australian recruit.

Sailor is contracted to the Broncos until the end of 2025, but could seek an early release from Walters if the terms of his English offers are palatable.

Sailor is happy at the Broncos, but having just turned 26, he is five years older than Walsh and realistic about his hopes of playing regular NRL at a club where ‘Reece Lightning’ is a fullback superstar.

The utility-back livewire managed just four games for the Broncos in his first year at the club last season and plays his eighth game this year against his former club the Dragons with Walsh in Camp Maroon for Origin III.

Compounding the frustration for Sailor, he has built a good friendship with Walsh, but the opportunity for regular game time in the English Super League could be too good to refuse.

Sailor, who wages a mouth-watering fullback showdown with Dragons ace Tyrell Sloan on Saturday night, said a fortnight ago the prospect of reluctantly quitting the Broncos was a consideration.

Now the interest from St Helens and Cartwright’s Hull FC makes it a live option.

“It’s definitely a hard one,” said Sailor of his Broncos future.

“I absolutely love the Broncos, but roster-wise it is very hard.

“That’s why, with the opportunities I get, I want to make the most of them.

“We have such a strong roster and the thing is everyone (in the playmaking spine) is younger than me … Jock (Madden), Ezra (Mam) and ‘Walshy’.

“As I always say, I have to take opportunities and where that comes, who knows where it might come.”

Walters has previously blocked a Sailor transfer. Last summer, the son of Broncos legend Wendell Sailor attracted a two-year deal from English club Leigh Leopards, but Walters stressed Tristan was a key part of his 2024 premiership plans.

But the ‘Reece Roadblock’ could eventually force the hand of Walters, who has explored ways to get Sailor into his top 17 on a weekly basis. He was named on Brisbane’s bench in rounds 6 and 7 but Walters aborted the strategy of having another backon interchange.

Sailor is likely to lean towards a move to Hull FC given that England Test star Jack Welsby is St Helens’ first-choice fullback.

Walters is keen to keep Sailor at Red Hill but says his sole focus is ensuring Walsh’s back-up custodian fires against the Red V to keep 13th-placed Brisbane (7-9) in the finals race.

Asked if he is worried Sailor may look elsewhere for an opportunity, Walters said: “No. That’s in the future. You are looking too far ahead. We are one week at a time here at the Broncos.

“We are focused on the Dragons and Tristan is playing for the Broncos.

“Tristan needs to play well for us.

“He brings great knowledge of the game to our spine and is a terrific player.

“We have seen that from him in the past and we need to see that again from him (against the Dragons).

“It is a wonderful opportunity for him to showcase his skills.

“I know he likes the big stage … well, there is the big stage young fella.”

Hey I completely get that and understand it, we all know what your on about and get it but day after day it goes on and on, on here. At least the club are having a go on the start of a rebuild and trying to add old heads to ensure our youngsters are developed and its certainly more positive than last year at this time. Personally I can wax lyrical about how unoptomistic I am about tomorrow because I'm dreading it but as with both scenarios we'll just have to wait and see.

As a supporter for many many years I've seen many worse days than we have now. The last few years have been dire. But it's a new start with a new coach and a massive turnover of players. Yes we ain't gonna be challenging the top but think we will see a better year. Of course we all see things differently but if you can't get behind the team you love at a time like this then why bother?.

I'll continue to voice my opinion which currently isn't positive. I hope I'm proved wrong but suspect I won't be

Talk of boring when you obviously trawl every Rugby League newspaper news,internet,R/L forums and NRL news outlets for any snippet of possible transfer information so you can post on here.
Now that is what anyone would call tedious

Back to the drawing board if Saints want Sailor, they’ll be in big for a half to replace Dodd.

I'd hardly say following some journalist on Twitter trawling the Internet.

You're obviously a sad individual trying to get bites off people online. Instead you just end up looking like plonker

Yeah I mean it takes hours to search for "Hull FC" on Twitter.

Only you would call that tedious.

You manged to work that one out too?

Dan dropping an article on Sailor tonight too

No chance of Sailor if saints want him as somebody has mentioned they will be after a big signing to replace Dodd.
