Message: [QUOTE="Professor47, post: 3666568, member: 1831"] my 2 cents , off the top of the dome: - Mariner: he is definitely handy but I think he needs to develop into an 'ado-carr' type winger. Just finish and score tries. Doesn't have the size to be the metre-eater type back. - Cobbo: We need the 2023 version... he looks slow and sluggish atm, and obviously has some off-field issues. Hopefully we can see him happy and firing in 2025. I think 2025 is up to him to prove himself he can be THE superstar centre/winger - Riki: We definitely shouldn't pay big money for next contract, he can stay for 'unders' if he wants. Handy to have but, he is definitely not HIM , compared to some of the other backrowers in the comp. - Piakura: same as Riki but more leeway , he is still raw to the NRL... we need to invest in Piakura. Needs to learn D. Focus on D and the attack seems natural for him. - Baker: LOL - Gorgoski: LOL - Arey: Loved him at the club and I hope he hangs around... I guess I'm a desperate so I'll grasp at straws and hope he can lead us to a title in 2025... but thats a super stretch (would be on the back of walsh/mam) - Walsh/Mam: honestly, they are the key factors to coming close to a title anytime soon. Need them to have a freakish year, but more importantly a freakish final series (i.e. 2023) Expecting them to become game managers or game controllers is a little foolish. They just need to be them and come up with the freaky plays... and we need to cater other key positions to be the game managers (i.e. 7 and 9) - B Walters: Had a solid 2023... I think 2025 give him the year but he needs to come up with a real good combo with Mozer... I presume they our best 2 in stock atm. So while developing Mozer, we need to get some form of combo going. Personally, I wish Billy would just keep it simple. Run/pass off the floor/dont make mistakes. That's it. Don't try anything fancy. - Staggs: I guess the Broncos have marked him to be the GUY. He's been great but he really needs to focus on defense. Pains me to say, but you'd take so many players over Staggs at centre in the NRL. Gone are the days when the Broncos centres were the GUYS. Overall, talented roster but I still think there is just something 'off' about the forward pack. No team 'fears' playing the Brisbane Broncos... and probably haven't for a while. The 'fear' last year was Walsh/Mam/Cobbo just running rings... but teams have worked out that if you bash the door down at the Broncos, we can't defend it, nor stop the momentum. Nor turn the game with a mongrel forward bashing/hit. Once we are behind or chasing our tail... freakish back plays won't get us there anymore. [/QUOTE]
