I would take Cleary over Mitch Moses as well, but some things are just no chance of happening. Fifita is a remote possibility if things somehow align, just depends if his salary makes it worth it.
Just quietly on this, I kind of feel OK that Payne is the way that he is. I mean there was a noticeable dip like during the whole release saga year, but other than that he's super effective doing what he's doing and it will likely prolong his career not going 100%.
He's probably a solid front rower but he's no second rower at the moment. Kinda feels like the Broncos might have stuffed up letting Capewell go, in the short term at least (but short term is where the Broncos are well in the premiership contention).
Reynolds got injured in the first half too, it was a miracle he even stayed on. That surely affected him, I don't think a healthy Reynolds loses to Madden in any situation last year.
So Alex Johnston just turned 29 years old a couple of months ago. He's on 188 tries, 2 behind Slater and 24 behind Ken Irvine's all time record. He could break it next year, maybe even this year if he somehow goes nuts.
It sucks, hopefully things go right for him and he can have a successful career in the NRL. Dunno much about his injury, but could he go the Brent Tate route?
I really don't get moving players to different positions sometimes.
Oh Walsh is killing at fullback? Lets maybe move him to the halves.
Oh Mam won Dally M 5/8th of the year and almost the Clive Churchill medal as a running half? Lets make him a controlling halfback.
