Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3300777, member: 9326"] Being better than our previous 5/8's is not a reasonable benchmark. We've had probably the least productive 5/8 in the competition in the role. The base there is so low that there is potential for even your mate Kennedy to improve on our previous 5/8's, but that still doesn't make it a good idea. He was a decent tackle buster for a while and that probably makes him suitable for a Wing or Centre position, but unfortunately it's not enough in the modern game to cut it at Fullback and its definitely not enough in the modern game to play in the Halves. Realisitcally, he's shown even less signs that he'd be a success in the role than Staggs, and even Staggs is probably pretty unlikely to prove a massive success story if he gets the job. Spend decent money on specialist spine players who are proven to be ompetent and reliable in their job (and get elite one's where possible). Get a couple of Middle Forwards who work hard and set standards, one strike outside back who is capable of bagging tries regularly, an Edge Forward who can link up with your Halves on at least one side, then fill in the rest of your squad with whatever funds you have left. It's honestly a blueprint that works year after year for a host of clubs and I cannot for the life of me understand why the Broncos have taken so long to get their heads around it. [/QUOTE]
