so the line ups above look pretty set in stone ... who else do we have sniffing around for backup etc
has Kemp even been signed yet ?
I like Hoffman, but think we need to just give him 12 straight games and then assess ... cop the good with the bad
McGuire doesn't get a spot in most teams it seems but is still very young
Beale doesn't excite me in the slightest
Michaels will come again
Hunt ... I have no clue really but take you guys word for it
where is our 100k backup type guys (especially in the forwards) ... or is it just kids beyond the above ?
Oink !

Have had a change of heart. I'll pick my team purely on who we KNOW we have signed, so that excludes people like Kemp or any fanciful overseas prop.
1. Hoffman
2. Winterstein
3. Folau
4. Hodges
5. Yow Yeh
6. Lockyer (c)
7. Wallace
8. Kenny
9. McCullough
10. Clinton
11. Glenn
12. Thaiday
13. Parker
14. Sims
15. Te'o
16. Setu/McGuire/Williams
17. B. Hunt
As I've said in other threads, Ben Hunt needs to play in the 17 as often as possible, coming off the bench as a) interchange hooker should McCullough require and b) allowing Lockyer to be rested in games where the result is beyond doubt with 10-15 minutes to go to give Hunt regular experience at five-eighth or halfback.
Plus of course when Lockyer/Wallace are out for Origin or injury, Hunt must be played in the starting halves.
Some might argue that in the modern game you need 4 forwards on the bench, and you have some merit in that. However, the Broncos simply have to keep the future in mind and Hunt is not going to develop his skills and gain the experience necessary to be an NRL quality half by playing Queensland Cup all the time.
Hoffman deserves first shot at fullback, but guys like Copley and Beale will be at his heels, so he'll need to perform. I'm not concerned about him not having KHunt's ball playing abilities at this stage. They will come. He has the skills, he just hasn't developed them yet.
Obviously Steve Michaels is still around as a backup should Folau or Hodges be injured/unavailable, or Winterstein/Yow Yeh fail to perform.

with the team you list there coxy, maybe we dont need to sign anymore fowards.
14. Sims
15. Te'o
16. Setu/McGuire/Williams
Thats 2 guys there nipping at heels to get a run so hopefully thats enough for Teo,Setu and Sims to perform how we know they can.

Certainly need a prop or 2 for depth even if they are not household names.

Sims has been a shell of the kid he was since Clint Newton elbowed him in the temple and got about 12 weeks suspension. He has so much talent and size its just like Meyers getting knocked out in that test match and not being the same for a very long time afterwards.
