Shame Locky hasn't got a few more years left in him to groom Alex Glenn for the captaincy - the kid has great leadership skills and will hopefully be a Bronco for life
I think we are going to have to blood new guys this year. From the list above Taylor, Hannant, Shillington and Kenny are the only guys I would consider for the front row as backup to Price and Petero. Myles is a back rower and the others aren't up to Origin.
I don't like the idea of a debutant starting Game 1 in the front row. I agree Shillington should be in the team but I would start with Petero and Hannant with Shillington and Kenny our bench props.
[icon_pray. [icon_pray. [icon_pray. that Pricey is right to go though
Canberra have a very underrated pack IMO - Thompson, Thurling, Harrison are all top class forwards and they have some great young talent in Picker and Learoyd. I just can't figure out what keeps them from being a force in the NRL - maybe a top class #7 or #9??? The young fullback looks the goods...
Terrible decision IMO - This guy has already paid for what he has done by missing out on the biggest event he could compete in as an individual athlete not to mention more than 12 months of being a human headline. Cowley is a whinger and his little episode on TV recently no doubt contributed to...
I would give Hoffman first crack and keep Hodges and Israel as our right side combination. We have plenty of depth in the outside backs and maybe Yow Yeh could step into centre if Michaels doesn't continue to improve (which I think he will)
With the money left over I would be having a red hot...
Agreed mate I just think it is great that he has kicked on at the Bulldogs. He never did wrong by the club and put his heart and soul into the place. Great result for both parties - Staggy is at a club which looks to be set for a big year and we have uncovered a major talent in Glenn to take on...
Very happy for Stagg - a bloke who tried his heart out for the Broncos every time he pulled on the jersey. For mine he did the same sort of job for us that Dallas Johnson does for the Storm yet was continually bagged for his performance. Every team needs a player like Stagg and the style of...
It is only a matter of time before McCullough starts - we look 1,000 times more dangerous when he is on the field. He has a better running game than Gorrell, better kicking game and for a little bloke he hits hard in defence - he cut Lima in half more than once tonight.
For me the next 2-3...
I don't like the fact we lost Eastwood either but to write Te'o off after 1 game seems a bit narrow-minded? Especially if you believe the rumours that he left because he was scared of being pushed to hard by Benton
Couldn't Lockyer just do a Matty Bowen and almost refuse to run back into the defence from a kick return??? Pass it to the wingers, let them get belted - that looks to be the way the Cowboys do it
