Benji could come off the bench into the centres and Oates to second row maybe? I can't see him playing a whole game there. An article saying Oates was transitioning to 2RF this year. Maybe at the back end of the game as a finisher to do a lot of the kicking? Not sure that'd be worth the...

Yeah I also wouldn't be surprised to see McGuire go. Don't get me wrong, great player, love the way he plays and think he'll make a gun lock. But Gillet, Su'a and Oates are our back row priorities imo. I dont think McGuire will be worth as much as us to other clubs and he'll take the payday...

And I wouldn't theoretically be against Brooks signing but this isn't a rumour at this stage, just Elias doing who the **** knows what.

Warriors have so much talent in their backyard that's how they can afford the spine they've got. Kiwis wanting to come home and juniors you've developer are going to be easier to recreuirt/retain for less.

Benji obviously, why else would we play him at centre....

Cult and Porthoz we get it, just make out already.

Yeah this will be it. Only possible change I can think of is Bennett decides we've got to find a place for Su'a. Either Glenn or the utility are the only possible spots. But dropping Glenn would leave no experience on the bench so the only way that could work is if Thaiday was benched for Su'a...

True story, went to school with him and he was a flyhalf/centre.

I think Su'a might find his way into the round one team, he looked good.

This conversation really highlights the lack of genuine out & out top notch playmakers in the game currently....

TBH this is the first I've heard re barbs and Hodgo. If true you make a fair point. Re Langer, I think because he understands what it's like to be an addict, he's an ideal mentor... I'm not having a go at anyone here of course, but some of the attitudes on this very thread indicate that those...

Hodgo is a deadset legend. Would like to see Alfie and Hodgo take him under their wings

I think we can all agree on two things re Taylor's release. 1) Bennett is not an idiot and 2) No coach in the nrl has proven record of long term strategic thinking than Clint. I have no doubt in my mind that he foresaw our need for Taylor back in the future and had a hand in him being released...

Haven't commented on this issue just yet - but some interesting points from all. It is a tough issue to get your head around, I can see the validity of the points people make on both sides of the argument. Roberts is a grown man, who at the end of the day is a fucking privileleged position -...

I ageee the broncos under Bennett definitely have been one of the best sides when it comes to roster management and sustained success. Rugby league is cyclical and the real pros like Bennett and Bellamy ensure that the troughs aren't too low. My assumption has always been that Bennett gave...

I agree with almost everything in this post except the bold. I think there is such a concept of a rebuilding year in RL... But only when salary-cap mismanagement necessitates it. As you point out moneyball is key in RL these days. Often it is better to accept your going to be in for a lean...

No ty to anything above 4 years. 3 ideal. It's not worth potentially getting Milf on the cheap at the back end of the deal for the amount of risk we are carrying.

Not against the Macca re-signing at all, defence speaks for itself. Service isn't bad. Be nice if he kicked more, but we've been saying that for years and it doesn't look like changing. If we assume the money we budget in the salary cap for spine players is an approximately fixed amount, I'd...

For arguments sake, if Marshall is going to be in the 17 somewhere what would the team look like? I'd probably go something like this: 1. Boyd 2. Mead 3. Roberts 4. Marshall 5. Kahu 6. Milf 7. Hunt 8. Offa/Sims 9. Macca 10. Blair 11. Thaiday 12. Gillet 13. Moose 14. Kodi 15. Oates 16...

Yeah it'd be nice having a gun fb. What do you reckon, go after the Australian custodian?...
