One of the conditions for Ashley Taylor being released was he gets to play first grade. He's getting experience at another teams expense. He's coming back to us, don't worry about that.
Re: Justin Hodges on report
I have been guaranteed that Justin Hodges will play. Broncos first Premiership in quite a while, it has been a long time coming.
Your last point is an interesting one. But I don't think anyone would disagree if you said that Jack Reed is just about playing to his full potential (which is enough to keep Dale Copley back in ISC). I don't think we've seen the best of Dale Copley yet so how much heigher his ceiling is remains...
The truth is Reed is playing better than Copley at the moment and will continue to be picked ahead of Dale. Dale has to remain healthy and put in some good consistent performances to even have a chance of pushing Jack Reed out.
A huge portion of coaching a football team is about managing the players as individuals (which I am sure you and most others are aware). That is what has happened here and it is also why Wayne is considered the best.
This is why Wayne Bennett is coach and you are not. Broncos would love to keep him but Wayne was honest with Ashley and this is how it turned out. Wayne did not want to stop him from achieving his dream so Wayne told him told him if he really wanted to play first grade he would not stop him from...
I am not sure why you are being so defensive. I asked what you base your opinion on, pretty straight forward. Anyway, good news for the club. Joe reminds me of a combination of Shane and Petero.
Their heights are accurate, their weights are not however. Service from dummy half was a real issue with this game and I don't think Andrew should take all the blame. Kicking game is still a work in progress but Ben Hunt is improving which is exactly what Wayne is looking for. This was a good...
The errors are not really a concern unless they keep happening each week. There are other more worrying factors at the moment that need to be addressed (eg kicking). Anthony Griffin did not do it effectively, but I am confident Wayne Bennett will get the job done.
It will be a battle to keep Jayden Nikorima, not personally confident about it. Unless we let go of Kodi Nikorima and offer that money to Jayden the offers from other clubs are considerably more. Ashley Taylor is higher up on the priority list although he has another year on his contract yet.
