Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2603702, member: 1847"] I love this thread. Should have been called Great Expectations but I guess Dickens might object. Given this thread is all about speculation, and speculation is largely but not only, all about assumptions, and given that Marshall McLuhan (he played for Newtown in the 50's) said: [COLOR=#181818][FONT=georgia]“Most of our assumptions have outlived their uselessness”, I see things very very simply. 1. Next year, assuming Barba regains his true form, He will be FB for some years; 2. Assuming Milford is an honourable man (unlike Brutus) he will be 5/8 for some years; 3. Assuming Hunt continues to evolve, he will be half back for some years; ...then, apart from the great fun and games this thread genuinely is, I fail to see why we are bothering to discuss the development of any young halves at all 'cos they won't have a snowball's chance in hell of playing NRL for the Broncos, except maybe as reserves if any of the above are injured, if any of them are still here and not signed elsewhere. For mine, it is the forwards who should be the focus of development in this thread more than any other position, and their imminent promotion to the top grade, given our pack is, for mine, a real worry as shown clearly by the way a number of the better packs have steamrolled us up the middle in the games we have lost. But then, as I said, I see things simply, and maybe too simply, but to me, the bleeding obvious about our forwards now, and down the track, is simple enough to see.[/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
