If you were in charge of broncos recruitment right now, and you had the below options, which would you choose?
1. Reynolds stays on for 2025, retires at the end of the season. No Ben Hunt
Or
2. Hunt signs on to play 7 for 2025 and 2026. Reynolds retires / leaves immediately
Basically, would...
Create a top 17 of players based purely on how iconic their nickname is. To qualify, it must be players whose nickname is as famous as their real name and also be used by commentators during their playing days. The more known they are for their nickname is more important than talent
1. The...
Who are some examples of players that started as plodders, poor, or average players early in their career but went on to hit unexpected heights?
Corey Parker comes to mind as a player that seemed like a bald numpty who ended up being a pretty gun lock in the last half of his career.
Cronk’s...
Post all your questionable or controversial poorly thought out NRL ideas.
- Sunday morning game time slot. How good would it be to watch a game of footy at 10am on Sunday morning
- Kick offs that go out on the full should only result in a tap at halfway and not a kick for touch or shot at...
This thread is to discuss those weird signings that seem to come out of nowhere, amount to nothing, and fade away from memory, then years later you stumble across a old team list or highlight video and think “oh yeah, I forgot that guy played for us. I thought that was a weird dream”.
Benji...
Wether it be the on field ref, the video ref, the judiciary, the media, the draw schedulers, the salary cap, covid, it seems as though a lot of BHQ believe in some level of conspiracy against the broncos.
I personally don’t really see it but I’m genuinely interested to know what posters here...
List the (now) 17 clubs and with out putting much thought into it, say the name of whichever player in that club’s history you most strongly associate with them.
I will do this below but I would prefer if people do it without reading others posts first as I think that would be more interesting...
If all players were fit what spine would you personally select for the 2023 season? I’ll also allow development or train and trial players.
Eg:
1.
6.
7.
9.
14.
Here is a reminder curiously of McHunt:
Hooker
Paix, Smoothy, Walters, Hetherington, Mozer
Half
Reynolds, Mam, Walters, Paix...
I did something like this in previous off seasons and I think with all the back and forth lately it will be a good change of pace.
Please post what you think are positives going into 2023. Only positive replies too, this isn’t the place to be arguing.
- Patty Carrigan has establish himself as...
Choose 3 best players. Please try to remove all personal bias or feelings about the player - entirely based on on-field performance because there are some real grubs on this list.
Also, just NRL - no one cares about Spud Dukenson from eighteen-dickety-seven
I have gone through Rugby League Project records to find our most recent victory over each team in our 2022 draw. In the cases where a team appears for the second time in our draw I have linked highlights to our second most recent win. I was surprised by how recent some of these victories were...
With Melbourne obviously struggling to manage big games without the goat game manager - who now holds that mantle ?
Cleary would be up there but I think he has shown to come up short in tough big games - rather he controls games when they are doing it fairly easy.
DCE is great in clutch...
With Reynolds arrival around the corner it got me thinking, what is the best big name Broncos signing this millennium? That is since 2000, who are players that debuted at other clubs that have been successful once arriving at the broncos ?
i can’t think of many and the ones I can I would rather...
Is Tommy’s current run of form on par with some of the other legendary runs throughout history? The guy is a man playing amongst boys this season at club and origin level.
Barba ‘12
Hayne ‘09
Manly looked like spoon contenders until he returned and if the rest of the team just shows up and...
I haven’t watched it yet but I hope he goes into detail about how he accidentally kicked Kev’s cat or whatever non-footballs related thing he obviously did to not see first grade.
