Quote: roopy "If Costigan goes to Brisbane it will confirm that Bennett is officially senile.
At Newcastle he got rid of a heap of young guys and filled the roster with guys on the wrong side of 30 who were once great.
So far at Brisbane he has got rid of 3 or 4 great young prospects to make way for old favourites, and he is mostly got rid of props.
Costigan has had a great career, but he must be ready to retire now.
If he pops up at Brisbane, Bennett's 1.4 million dollar paycheck looks like the worst investment in RL history.'"
the broncos were over or close to the salary cap though for next season, release younger players who probably would have salaries raised over the next few seasons and bring in over the hill players at a cheaper rate to fill the roster!
