Wow, that’s a bit of a shock.

”Veteran rugby league reporter Peter Badel, who broke the story and is as plugged in as journalists come in Brisbane, said he was “blown away” when he first caught wind of it.

“I’m totally shocked by this,” Badel said on SEN Radio. 

“Ben Te’o and Madge go back to their South Sydney days. In 2014, they won a comp together... Ben Te’o was one of his key back rowers, and they’ve had a long history since. 

“Of course, Ben Te’o then employed by Kevin Walters just weeks before he was let go and Michael Maguire took over. He honoured Ben Te’o’s contract, and Ben Te’o has been wonderful for that club. 

“The last few years when he helped them to a premiership, he was the man that resided over their defensive structures and I know he’s hugely popular with the players and so this has come as a total bombshell for me... I’m totally stunned right now. 

“This is the last thing the Broncos need going into the battle of Brisbane.”
