[FACTHUNT]

It's triple M so they'd throw the term 'superstar' at someone like Morgan Harper but I think the only two that actually fit that are Hammer and Herbie

 

[Dexter]

Averillo?

 

[Dexter]

Cleary to PNG katoa back to the riff?

Hunt: “We’ve got to get back and play good footy”

Broncos veteran Ben Hunt talks with media ahead of Magic Round game against the Warriors.

www.broncos.com.au

Bunt basically confirms he's all but signed.

 

[theshed]

Seems impossible to imagine but let’s just pretend we had a 100% full strength squad by some miracle, what would actually be our top 17?

1. Walsh
2. Karapani
3. Staggs
4. Mariner
5. Anderson
6. Mam
7. Reynolds
8. Jensen
9. Paix
10. Haas
11. Riki
12. Piakura
13. Carrigan

14. Hunt
15. Willison
16. Talty
17. PRiki
18. Goose
19. Arthars

Gos is not in a full strength team... probably Jhunt instead... although you could go Rogers or Billy as well, as they can cover halves as well as hooker and lock.

I'd say Willison is starting over Jensen now as well

 

[Sproj]

Billy for sure over Gosiewski but the rest can't argue with.

Maybe Shibasaki over Arthars but that really is matter of opinion.

Nah Jesse can cover fullback, wing and centre... if Walsh went down in a game and Shiba is on the bench it's a lot of movement... probably Shiba > Centre, Mariner > Wing, Ganderson > Fullback

 

[LittleDavey]

What's a..."full strength squad"?

 

[GCBRONCO]

What's a..."full strength squad"?

I dunno. Is it one with more depth in the second row then 2 starters?

Wonder if it's worth trying to get Pezet here pre June 30. He is clearly out of favour at Parramatta and he could do worse than come six months early, and learn from Reyno & Hunt. Doubt Parra are investing much in him down south.
Im not suggesting he gets a shot this year but I don't think it would be a bad idea getting him in our systems and playing cup for the rest of the year.
At this stage I've got Duffy in front of him and I've got no idea how he would fit in with our cap but would be worth reaching out imo.

Volkman having a pretty poor game tonight so Pezet might be back into first grade.

Moses should get picked for origin and they’ll want Pezet during that period to play 7

 

[Sproj]

And that's good - we want to see what he's got in the actual 7, not 6.

I believe Baxter Best has signed a long term deal with the knights. Not in our top 30 but looks like a prospect. Also already bigger in size than his brother.

Best is signed to Brisbane until 2029, is in Year 12 at Ipswich and currently playing for Met West trying to make the Qld school boys and there is no way he is bigger than Bradman.

This was Friday.

Preston Riki extended through 2028:

Riki Rewarded with Two-Year Broncos Extension

Normally wouldn't read into it but Toohey has good intel when it comes to the Knights.

Could be another chicken sandwich fiasco. Maybe the Broncos need to fix their catering?

Did think that but who I asked this morning would know and they said no he's not being released.
