Off-Season

Alan Langer:

“Adam can bring a premiership to the Broncos. I’m not getting carried away, I won’t be making bold predictions for this season but in the next couple of years, ‘Reyno’ will help get the Broncos back to where they should be. Reyno has been there, done that with the Rabbitohs. He was a great leader there, so it was pretty automatic that he would come here and take over the captaincy."

“I just like the qualities about him, he is not only great on the field, but off the field with the guys. Part of being a great leader is getting a team together and wanting to work for you. Adam has that. He is the start of the rebuilding of the Broncos.”

“I did want the captaincy in my heart, but I wasn’t 100 per cent sure I could do it. Wayne decided to go with me as captain and it was a big decision for him to have to make, because ‘Kevvie’ was there as well and he was a great leader. In my case, I was lucky I had a good group of guys around me that I cared for and they cared for me."

“Part of being a leader in a team environment is you have to have a good quality away from the field as well. You can’t be best mates with everyone but you have to learn to get on well with everyone. Having the respect of the group underpins everything you do as a leader and watching Reyno since he has come here, he’s got that respect.”

“I definitely feel for the guys who get that tag (the next Alfie) because of me. It’s awful in a way to see. They don’t need that pressure, but in saying that, I look back at guys like Benny Hunt and Anthony Milford and there were times where we did have success. ’Hunty’ and ‘Milf’ got us to the grand final in 2015 and we could easily have won it that night"

“I’m confident Reyno is the one guy who can handle it. He is the best halfback we’ve had for a long time and he is a great player in his own right. He has the cool head to handle the pressure. He is ready to come here and pick up where he finished off last season at Souths."

“To be honest, I don’t know why Souths let him go. He is a great player who is playing well, kicking well and his leadership is first-class. Their loss is our gain. I’ll be training with Reyno and at games with him all the time. If he wants my help, I’m here to help him. He is a good person as well. He has fitted straight into the Broncos culture, his family and four kids are happy in Brisbane, so he’s in a good environment to succeed.”

“It (the Broncos being shit) has been a bloody nightmare to tell you the truth. It’s really hurt me seeing Brisbane in this state."

“I love winning and having a good time and there hasn’t been too many good times at the club over the last two years. The enjoyment went out of the place. We’ve been down and out and when you are losing all the time, it becomes a habit and it’s not a good place to be in. This is why the rebuild had to take place.”

“Today, there is a different feel in the club. Kevvie has done a great job bringing the fun and the confidence back and I see that in the way the players are responding. We really need to start well this season to get back to where we should be at the Broncos."

“Most sides get injuries but if we keep our best players on the field, we can play finals this season. I hope we see a consistent Kotoni Staggs and Payne Haas and the inclusion of Capewell with his communication, defence and premiership experience, I can see the Broncos building again into a finals team."

“I hope the club sticks by Kevvie. He is turning the place around. At the end of the day, we are all humans at a footy club. You need to have good times. You can’t be hammering blokes day in, day out and expecting them to perform as a team on game day. Building morale starts away from the field and the guys have put in the work in this pre-season. They have worked their asses off, I see more togetherness in the group and that’s what Kevvie is building.”

“Billy Walters has done a fair apprenticeship. He has been to different clubs, especially the Melbourne Storm who have a great system. Billy has also played for the Queensland Residents rep side and been around the Queensland Cup for a few years, so he has runs on the board. The No.6 jumper is wide open. Tyson Gamble and Albert Kelly are also talented guys but Billy is back at home where he belongs at the Broncos with his old man and he is a genuine consideration for the six spot.”

All this swooning over Reynolds has me scared that a heartbreak is on the way. Hope he stays fit.

Nobody backs Brenko... But he's a premiership winning origin winning special guy

That’s a good point.

He doesn’t come with the excitement or accolades of Reynolds or Capewell, but he’s the only other bloke in our squad that knows what winning big matches, or winning at all for that matter, feels like.
 
The above posts are why I think he’ll be in round 1. If he is, you have three big match winning guys across all three important lines - backs, halves and forwards.

I actually hope he does make the run on side too.

To me.. Herbie would be the one to miss out ironically. Farnworth is still I front but if he doesn't develop his game I can see him swapped out
 
I think if Kevvie's mantra has been all about defence this preseason and if he's picking Billy at 6 because of defence then it would seem his intent, at least for the start of the year, is to grind out games and become a team that wont beat itself.

Not really think about winning games... just defend, complete your sets, Reynolds kicks them to death and then score after building up pressure.

We've got strike in Staggs and Cobbo... and if Cobbo is left side we'll have strike on both sides of the field.

Just monster teams with the big forward pack, Reynolds to close out the set and then win the field position battle in defence until points come... and then do it again.

When that mantra is instilled over the start of the year it builds the identity of the team, and when the defending and grinding out of games becomes second nature, the attacking game comes off the back of that
