It is inevitable he will get another chance sooner rather than later. I get the feeling once he gets a good score for us in a Test he will play a lot more freely like we see in Shield and in Ryobi Cup, his first crack at Test Cricket was blighted by very negative/tentative batting which isn't...
The guy is going to be a star, I really hope we go for him. He isn't like a Ben Hunt NYC Player of the Year where he is just a solid reliable player in a weak league. This guy tore sides apart with an array of skills most under 20's don't have.
I would get Potter getting size into Sironen to fill in the lock role to also add more depth to the backrow. If Miller doesn't get first crack at the 7 Potter is an imbecile!
Melbourne Cup tomorrow......
Who is everyone tipping?
I like My Quest for Peace and Mourayan (who I would have bet on last year if not scratched) both at good weights and decent enough odds. I like American but I can't fathom backing a Cup horse at $5 carrying that much weight, Dunaden...
Re: 12/13 Football Thread
What is everyones thoughts on Mark Clattenburg's alleged verbal spray on Mikel and Mata?
I see it as a fair coincidence that this happens very quickly after there monster sook over Terry being banned for being a racist khunt. Chelsea ever since Mourinho was there...
Did you read the bit about "Brisbane Broncos First Grade Side"? This is the best run and most successful RL team in the country over the last 20 years. I expect high standards from the players who wear the jersey because I like thousands of others pay good money to watch them play over the...
With the departure of Te'o and the god awful form of Gillett and Thaiday for a lot of last season I can see some value in having a guy in the back row rotation that you know exactly what you will get from them.
m1c my team isn't what I expect it is what I hope for. As for Hoffman that piece of sh1t can get f#cked, anyone who admits to not putting in has no place in the Brisbane Broncos first grade side.
Parra need some forwards not more backs, their pack is absolutely woeful! Plus Hindmarsh has gone so they went from having one decent guy in there to none.
Where will the Broncos finish on the ladder? On the back of the Prince move, we are a genuine top 4 prospect so I will say 4th.
If the Broncos make the finals how do you see them going? 3rd week I think.

Good signing for at least the interim anyway. Prince is a quality player and leader and will help take the weight off Wallace who struggles without an organiser with him, I can see Wallace having a much more consistent year with Prince partnering him. Ideally whichever of Norman and Hunt stays...
Re: Scott Prince
I would rather we sign an extremely creative young guy (Milford) over an older guy who has his best years a long way behind him. Prince won't win us a premiership and I doubt he would tutor our current crop of young halves into world beaters, so no thanks.
Most overseas commentators have no idea who Mundine is Fredie. He literally has zero profile anywhere except Australia, the only fight he could get himself was against a 41 year old who hadn't held a belt since 1996 when Mundine was a young league player. The only fighters in recent years to...
Cronk is seriously the ultimate professional, I would kill to have a player with half his dedication to his craft and his fitness at the Broncos in the halves. If Wallace gives 100% at training and in games this guy gives 1000%
That piece of play does completely define Mundine's career. Such a greedy and selfish footballer, he really fits in to the world of boxing so well. God I hope Geale knocks him out.
Anyone with half a brain knows Lyon is easily the games best centre. Josh Morris scores tries and thats about all whereas Lyon is a great defender, great creator and finishes well and most importantly as a QLDER he has a pea-heart and refuses to play for NSW!
Yep. Watmough physically assaulted a sponsor at an offical team function (a fact smoothed over due to Brett Stewarts antics at the same function) and keeps his job and basically doesn't get punished. If I was at a work function and insulted let alone physically assaulted someone I would be in...
