Nah I'm downgrading him because if we keep him it can't be on the current contract and I think similar for Staggs, I think we have to pick 1 of them.
Cobbo was needling a groin last year but he also had some off field issues which were affecting him. (Self inflicted)
Bottom line is he takes up...
Played 12 games this year so he's solid at the least.
Agree the money has to be on the low end though 180 to 200k.
We need players like him to restore balance in the squad and free up some cash to get the backrow sorted out.
He's on 130k next year according to zero tackle.(who knows if true)
I'd say he's solid back up and if Cobbo doesn't step up this year and earn his 625k he will be gone. At the least it gives us leverage to get Selwynn at a price more beneficial for our cap and his actual value.
Red pen through...
No, far from convinced. Rikis best is good enough Piakura is 2025 or jog on. Same with the others.
For all the talent in this side to have such an average bunch in our backrow stocks is disappointing and will decide our year.
How the coaching team go about squeezing the most from these lemons...
Yes it's a problem any extended injury to Riki or Piaks will be a test for us. We either have to find axway to move a couple or 3 on and then upgrade from there or get more from what we have.
I would say I'm far from a fan , more a hopeful Broncos supporter because he did have some decent patches among the loads of trash.
That's one of Madges tasks though, if he can't get a lot more from our backrow options any thoughts of a premiership run are a fantasy.
Watch this space though.😉
No way we lose Mozer with Paix at the end of his contract. I can't see Madden hanging around either TBH.
I do believe the red pen has been put through Cobbos name already.
That's not to say there is no way back but he has a lot of ground to make up this year to convince the Broncs to stay...
Blokes a chucker. Changed the rules for Murali now Bumrah is OK.
Cricket will end up with the best spinner ever and potentially the best fast bowler ever being chuckers.
If we are 9 and 3 or better when Ezra is available (assuming 12 weeks ) it will make it very hard to change anything.
Agree having 750k sitting in Qcup or on the bench isn't desirable.
No problem if we sign BHunt but it means we are all in on JHunt, Goz and Kobe as our backrow benchies.
This is where Madge has to get something we haven't seen from them yet.
Playing within a simple structure, being super fit and knowing your job can deliver some decent improvement. Time will...
