Other than the obvious traits like game management & kicking, one thing I hope he brings from Melb is the way they use 2nd rowers to hit holes effectively. I haven't paid particular attention if Croft does this but it's something Melb have been particularly good at for a very long time.
If Kahu can't crack a starting spot perhaps Siebs will use him as a utility? He would be very valuable to have in case of HIA. Also we really could have used him last year with our injury toll in the backline.
Question to those that watch more of Perese. I have read alot about people not rating his defence in the centres. If he has a chance of playing NRL next year where do people think it will be? There could be a wing or centre spot opening up for someone next year. Or does anyone think he can play...
This is a great signing. I can't wait to see the one two punch of Turps and Chiko playing off the momentum that Lodge, Haas and TPJ set once we get all feet back on deck. I think this will be key to our attack in 2020.
Macca should read the writing on the wall and finish his career in ESL. If...
Check out the video on facebook that the locker room just shared. It shows the extras Glenn has been doing to improve his explosiveness and agility as he wants to keep his #11 jersey. It's great that he knows he is under alot of pressure from the young guys and he is doing everything he can to...
It's a good kind of head ache to have. I think Glenn will be primed for a massive season. He is fighting for a contract and will need to go up another gear if these young back rowers keep playing this well. Even if the Broncos don't intend to keep him on he will want to be performing well to...
I really don't understand all the fuss over where he is going to play. If Niko or who ever else has a half decent run in the 7 while Hunt is out Bird should play centre where he is a proven success. I don't believe Wayne would have pomised him anything until i see quotes. I think where he...
I can't see us signing a halfback... i think we will have to make do with what we have for 2018 and sign someone for 2019 if we still need to.
As for Bird i would love him here. Played origin and a grand final at 21 and showed plenty of maturity, physical and mental toughness. Watching him play...
I think it's safe to say Bennet won't be making any changes. But I 100 percent agree with this. Something is off about our forward rotation. Herman and TPJ are doing an awesome job off the bench which is making it pretty hard for me to put my finger on the issue. Blair and Sims are starting...
I wouldn't worry too much about that. There is nothing stopping McGuire from moving back to the front row next year, or even later this year if Arrow is absolutely killing it and we can afford to drop a bench prop.
I'm definitely not doubting McGuire or any of our benchies, just saying if...
At this stage I really don't know who we should look at for halfback. My first thought was Niko and Milf would be a shocking combination, too similar, not enough direction, no stand out kicker etc, all the stuff people have already mentioned. But I'm not going to write him off. Niko would make a...
Well Boyd certainly carried our team through the series. And Kahu was excellent at finishing it all off. It was a little concerning that Blair was our most creative looking player but it's just the 9's... on the flip side thats great for Blair, he looks like he is only getting better.
I was...
I'm happy with this signing. Lets see if Wayne can pull a "Adam Blair" with this one. He has the potential to be a good forward. Trying not to get too excited though after past let downs like Gavet, Garbutt & Kennedy, but I think this will be different.
Sorry if this has already been said, but...
Great news, hopefully we can hang onto him. He is a quality player, leader and clubman. Our biggest threat would be an offer from the warriors I think.
Not only do alot of people underrate Glenn, but I think alot of people underrate the value of having a solid player like him on your roster...
Just let them do what they want, along with Boyd. On paper our halves and the speed in our outside backs is our strength. Gone are the days of Maranta, Reed, Vidot's lack of speed. We have more speed than oxford street with the addition of Mead Lets use that and our mobile pack that can offload...
I have been fairly optimistic about this signing. At the least he fills in during origin and is a positive figure to have around at training. He could be entertaining at the 9's too. And its basically on minimum wage. I'm happy with that.
However after reading that article and watching the...
Thats the thing though. I don't think Glenn is ever going to cost us heaps of money. Every team needs a player like Glenn. Extremely reliable, can fill a few different positions, good leadership qualities and is a respected player by the club and fans. It also helps having a few kiwi boys around...
