Dane Carlaw on his way back to Red Hill?

While I was waiting for my coffee this morning I picked up the paper and read that Dane Carlaw is applying for a release from Catalans to return to Australia. The word from the Broncs is that they are waiting until an official release to occur and since the Ingli$ drama, who can blame them.

Dane was a very solid backrower who notched up 13 caps for the Maroons and scored one of the more memorable tries in recent Origin memory (see video below, around 3:00. Pretty decent video overall actually). He's since been plying his trade overseas with some success and it appears Monaghan might be headed that way as his replacement.

Given the Broncos have Te'o, Parker, Thaiday, Anderson, Gillett and young Rohan Ahern as backrow options, it might be an idea to get him to add some depth but I'm not sure if it'll end up that way. Surely he wouldn't settle for a non-First Grade spot but who knows, the Broncos have a history of giving old fellas a run again.
