Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3477571, member: 1899"] It did sound like I was throwing the baby out with the bathwater so I could see why that would irritate somebody from the outset. This was the line in the sand. The Broncos wanted a decision either way so they could make plans moving forward. They wanted to avoid a Fifita situation which dragged on and on where they thought they had him the entire time. Things went south when Fifita suggested he'd sign two contracts. Titans 2021, Broncos 2022-23. It was such a ridiculous idea that journalists caught wind of it and the Titans sensed they had him on the hook so they upped the ante to get him. I don't want to jinx it because so far just about every rookie of the year pick has suffered some horrible injury (poor Kepu, Tuitavake, Dykes, Toia...) BUT if I was to make a tip it's that Mariner will play NRL in the first five rounds. I think the Broncos will give him as many reps as they can as they demonstrated last year when they rushed him in against the Tigers. It's going to be an interesting one because the Broncos will surely look to upgrade Mariner on a long term deal with a starting spot. However that would require somebody in the backline to stink it up. If that happens to be Cobbo or Staggs, will Kev pull the trigger? Put it this way, I wouldn't want to suffer a paper cut around Kev. [/QUOTE]
