Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3387718, member: 1769"] Wendell Sailor thinks Cobbo has potential, but says there is one ingredient missing, that's holding us back. and that is a defensive Hit man to give our pack an element of fear for opposition teams. [B]Wendell Sailor says:[/B] “No-one fears the Broncos,’’ Sailor said. “Payne Haas is a terrific player and he does a lot of hit-ups and tackles but he is not going to cut you in half like a Petero (Civoniceva) or a Shane Webcke. “You just think the Broncos will always give you a chance because you are not scared of them. “They need someone like a (Felise) Kaufusi. I was a massive fan of Jaydn Su’A and was surprised when he left (in 2020). He plays that sort of role and I think they could with that sort of player. “You know when you play the Broncos they might go toe to toe with you with players like Kurt Capewell who is a good player. “But there is no hit man like a Su’A, Peter Ryan or a Brand Thorn … someone who is going to tear you apart. “Past Broncos sides were lucky in that they had guys like Gorden Tallis you’d think “I will get on the back of that.’’ “Cobbo is so naturally gifted. I know they play him on the wing but I really think he could take the hits at fullback because he is such a skilful young player. “He reminds me a bit of Lote Tuqiri in the way he has time on his side. I never had that. I had aggression, speed and a bit of attitude but not that time that some very special players have. “Every time I watch Cobbo I get excited. I just think the kid has got game. “There is no doubt he is made for Origin. Players who have time on their side are special. Those young players get smashed but they find a way to score a try and get involved.’’ [/QUOTE]
