To me it was more that he looked reasonable at second row... which we are in desperate need for... whether it holds up in actual NRL is another question.
It all comes down to Madge and the coaches though... they've seen these guys train, so it will be if they think they can step up to NRL.
The...
I liked the look of Powell so would consider him... I think Big Pete mentioned that Philitoga was a highly rated junior coming through??
If so then he might already be on the broncos books.
Just realised we didn't give any time to Trew over these trials... he's got a dev deal so is available...
I read the comfortable, more like being comfortable with his life and settled in Brisbane
When Fifita said it the context was around the media pressure that came with playing in Brisbane and was all very specific to footy.
Yeah and I think that's could be one of the things that Madge is trying to avoid... although Bhunt will be there for the first 9 rounds.
Also Piakura is very likely to be on the bench in the 17 jersey... so if he does lose his starting spot I think he still makes the bench... and he was awesome...
I remember he bombed about 4 tries when playing for the broncos.
There was one against Titans on a Sunday arv, kick in goal that bounced up to him, which he fumbled for a 7 tackle set and I think Titans scored on that set.
It was super early in the game and would've got us off to a great start...
He was touted as a halfback coming through (think they compared him to Cronk... guessing because he didn't have blonde hair).
He was transitioned to hooker as we had halfback prospects in front of him... think this was guys like Milf, maybe Dearden, maybe Tanah Boyd and maybe some others (cant...
I don't think we need to... he's not going anywhere and no one else is going to sign him, so I don't really see any reason to rush out and sign him.
If we fall into dire straights with the halves then they can just give him a T&T.
I think another guy who was around for last year's trials was...
Mariner needs to work on his defence and various things, but is it best for him to do that in the NRL or in Qcup where the stakes are lower.
I don't think Madge considers Shiba a better player than Mariner, I don't even think it's a kick up the ass for Mariner, I think it's a plan for the long...
Yes that's right... I didn't bother looking through the extended just remembered seeing JAC in the extended on teamlist Tuesday and was thinking he will be replacing one of the starters.
Was also remembering that one of the dogs wingers would be replaced... but just now realising it will be...
I think one of the wingers will drop out for JAC, but it looks like it's pretty close to their full strength.... EDIT: Fail from me JAC already sacked and at Parra... meant to say Kiraz
Fullback looks a bit underwhelming for them ... surprised they let Joash Papalii go, because he looked pretty...
I would say Bryce is on a dev deal... he's been flagged as a promising junior for awhile now, so the norm for broncos is dev deal and then into a top 30 spot the following year.
Wasn't there something about a player on a dev deal for 2yr or more giving salary cap relief to the club for their...
But why is there an article if he hasn't done anything wrong?
What could stop them from saying Ezra might flat out murder someone... because he's got a knife in his house.
It's absolute clickbait garbage, but will be picked up and run with by the Sydney circlejerk for zero ramifications.
Holy ****... bloke cannot catch a break... wasn't he already trying to return from a hand/wrist injury and expected to be out till May or something.
That is a huuuuuge loss for Souths
