He’s been good in the super league. Only 29 years old.. I’d still take him at Broncos next year.

Haven’t checked in on him recently. I’m sure he would have been a decent replacement for when players like Thaiday, Parker and Gillett retired. We’ve lacked a leader in the forward pack. Is this when you tell me he’s been arrested by police for doing something shocking? Are you about to Gideon...

Yeah. I like watching him play though :nailbiter:

He hasn’t played much.. He’s definitely shown he’s got big potential in the little time he’s had to show it. Some very nice runs. He just needs a bit of faith and confidence put into him. Bullemor and Paix would be great pick ups for a club / coach like Storm / Bellamy.

Hmm we can pretend I’m stupid but it’s taken me less time to become a millionaire than it’s taken Broncos to find a suitable replacement for Andrew McCullough. Oh.. But we did make a mistake with Bullemor.. I wanted him to be our right edge backrower instead of Riki.. He’d be the Broncos...

Hey, anyone running the Broncos that wants to save some time and hassle? I am available for meetings.

This is a glorious one. Do we think Starling and Cotter are both better than Turpin yet? lmao

Debatable. I'm not going to expend the energy debating it though.

Goddd it's pretty funny but so depressing that I'm basically saying the same thing 4 years later. We're still having an issue with our 9. What a joke.

I'd like to see Capewell shift over to the right edge btw. I think he'd form a better combo with Reynolds than Riki has. Put a big lad (maybe Riki, maybe not Riki) on the left edge to run off Mam.

That's good! I want him to succeed! Just not the right fit for Broncos unfortunately. I agree our coaching staff should take half the blame but that's a whole other story.

Yes, agreed. I personally would be looking to offload him to another club. Has a lot of talent, but I don't think he's a great fit at the Broncos especially if he's getting paid 600k+ I think getting rid of Riki who is on 400k for another 3 years (off the top of my head) is a bigger problem...

Yes, was just providing a point of reference for some that would think it's out of the question. Here's some footage. There's a couple of tries from the backrow near the start of the vid https://www.qrl.com.au/news/20182/112/22/kotoni-staggs-2018-highlights/

He has horrible timing and awareness. These things come naturally to SBW. Felt like every game I would see Riki over run his line early and Reynolds would have to give up on the play. This happened more than once a game haha.

I believe this was a very poor year for Staggs in comparison to how well he could be playing. I think we should replace Riki with Staggs in the backrow.. Staggs can just focus on his powerful running game for the most part, not having to worry about setting up his winger etc..

If we want to look for ways to improve our side going into 2023.. Not starting Riki as one of our edge backrowers is something to be looked at IMO.

He ruined our attack on the right edge countless times. I'd say his best position for us would be as a bench middle forward.

If we lose Riki and get out unscathed then we win. I’d rather make room for Piakura or Robati. Wish we could have held onto Hosking. Maybe Dragons can take Riki’s contract off our hands.. They love a good broncos reject. I didn’t know that Riki being horrible was a controversial take.

I reckon we could consider just putting more faith into Paix.. The only issue with Paix is his lack of experience as a starting 9 in NRL.. There’s only one way to fix that! Start him at 9 and give him decent mins. Yeah I accept all that.. but in my dreams I see a Matt Parcell and Jordan Riki...
