No I don't ......Mitchell Pearce is far worse. ;-)
I just think Brisbane deserve / should aim for a half back better than Peter Wallace.

Yes well.......we're all allowed to see the game differently. I don't see us all picking the same m.o.m when the POTS are being handed out
Surprised Joe Bond got no points.....

Why we didn't zero in on DCE when he was having talks with Manly early in the year .....too late.
Thurston's up for grabs at the end of 2013 ......
Not really done with Ben Hunt tbh.....I'd like to see more.

Mate he had a great game and has played well all season.
Bond had a great game too. One of those games with no bad players.

I'd give my right testicle to have Thurston in the team, but I'd have him play alongside Wallace in a similar role to Lockyer... :tongue_smilie:

DCE never had any intention of leaving Manly (besides he was still under contract for next year anyway meaning Manly would have had to release him... fat chance)
To lure Thurston away from the Cowboys your going to need to find an available million

off topic but if anyone wants to see a sample of the old school rorting that used to f*ck the broncos back in the day, switch to Fox2 now ... we're about to lose a game against the Roosters in 96' for an incorrect tap from a 20m restart ... and the penalty count is 7-0 against :cuckoo:

You're probably right........but, who knows
Scott Prince's return to some form makes me think he might be worth while for a year or two...
Shaun Johnson is off contract 2014 ......??
Maybe the answer for the Norman haters is Todd Carney now that he's straightened up his act?
Personally, after the Sharks have resurrected his failing career I would think he owes them another round, but those NSWelshman
sometimes you just can't assume they'll do the right thing.

Yep Souths do this heaps with Merritt coming in field and taking kick returns and also by coming in during sets to sniff out short kicks and inside balls it also gives GI a rest. Certain teams it certainly has its merits and we would be one of them especially with Hoffman's penchant for getting himself hurt.
I'm one of the biggest Ben Hunt fans on this forum, but I've lost a lot of confidence in whether he'd provide anything much more than Norman, and definitely no more than Wallace. but he does have potential.

No, Norman is holding Hunt back. Can you seriously not see that Wallace has played better than Norman all year? If it was out of Norm, Wal and Hunt to be your halves and you were going to drop one for Hunt it has to be Norman, it's so freaking simple.
Way to completely undermine any sense of credibility about anything you say from now on.
Scott Prince - if he lasts more than 2 more seasons without retiring or going to UK for a payday I'd be very suprised. I think he is also emboriled in some sh*t storm with Coral Homes isn't he??
Shaun Johnson - Kiwi through and through - harder than getting JT from the Cowboys
Todd Carney - yep, would last 3 minutes at a club with a strict culture (FFS we let go of Gagai for farting out of place)
Ben Hunt, Wallace and Norman are the future for the Broncos. As soon as Broncos fans understand we have been unbelivably blessed with once in a generation players (Alf and Lockyer) at halves, then you might be able to put things in perspective
Capewell. Very interesting. Refer to the Yow Yeh highlight reel against the Titans last year for my reservations about a 5 foot nothing fullback.
Makes sense (although I contradict myself) for Hook to pick and stick with the halves.
Very nervous about how that rookie back three will go under a few highballs/if there are any communication breakdowns.
