2010 Lineup

[Bucking Beads]

Exactly he is a back rower playing prop.

 

[Beale]

I want Ben Hunt in the team in 2010.

I'd really like to see him as starting Halfback getting the most out of lockyer while he's still around.

But its not going to happen while Wallace is around which sucks and its pretty pointless carrying a halfback on the bench!

I just hope Ben Hunt doesn't leave - he is our future. In 6 or 7 years him and McCullough will be 7 and 9 for Qld origin.

A bolter for the FB spot would be Todd Murphy from the U/20's.

Good player. Good Speed. I think he used to play halfback so he has a passing and kicking game.

Nice to have some good young backup, but don't think he will be 1st choice with Hoffman, Beale and the possible return of Kemp in front of him...

Over the off-season they train with a much larger squad than the official top 25 which is the one the salary cap moniters.

Has Rohan Ahern and Matt Britt been confirmed signings?
The players I have highlighted are the ones i don't think will be in the top 25 leaving the unhighlighted players to be in the top 25 squad.
Ive highlighted Ahern and Britt as I don't think they are confirmed signings as yet..

 

[Bull Shark]

back to the pack in a big way for the Broncos in 2010 imo .... B.Cullen better stop bullsh*ting that "we have no money to spend" and get active in the player market for 2011 at least ...

14. Sims
15. Teo
16. Setu
17. McGuire

Looks to be a bit more depth next year in the forwards with the Under 20's boys showing real promise.

Despite the backline I have named (named what I think will happen not what I think should happen), I just don't think Izzy is a centre. I say let him be the best winger in the game and be damn glad that we've got him in our team.

I'd be interested to see if they give Winterstein a couple of games in the centres in the trials. I think his accelaration could prove a very handy asset in setting up his winger. We saw a few times this year he was easily able to get on the outside of his marker from a standing start. Defensively though I admit he would have to improve.

One thing I think we would really be looking for over the offseason is a good bench utility. Alex Glenn is that, but I think he will start in the back row next year and will have a massive season. I'd like to see someone who can come on and really take advantage of tired forwards like Michael Sullivan used to do for the Sharks for a year or two. Whoever this player would be I'd bring him on for one of the prop forwards and push Parker or Thaiday to the front row. I don't like the idea of using your bench utility as a second hooker. Can we get Berrigan back? [icon_lol1.

All in all I think we'll be in good shape to make the finals again, and with the likes of Hunt, Hala, Copley, Lingwoodock, Hoffman, Spence and Williams all on the fringes, I am hoping everyone would be wary of that and perform at their best to stay in the team. Hell, even if the centres and wingers don't perform we might see Michaels back in first grade [icon_lol1. (joking)

 

[Burg]

Sorry guys but the team next year will struggle to make the 8. Unless 2 things happen, Lockyer doesn't play rep football and we have no major injuries all year. Considering the past, Lockyer, Hodges and Wallace will not play the full season next year, typically all will suffer some kind of injury that will put them out for at least 4-8 matches each or worse. I disagree on Hunt, he needs at the very least 2 years in the QLD Cup. He has the skills yes, but Wallace is our half back and Hunt isn't a 5/8" nor is he a Hooker. Let him hone his skills. We MUST buy at least 2 forwards, Blair, Tolman or White would be at the top of my list and let Clinton, Wapau, PJ Marsh and Michaels go, and even Parker if that what it takes. also what ever the defensive coach at the Storm is on, double it and GET HIM, don't take no for an answer, we need a change to our technique. I don't care if we lose 3 players, but target Dallas Johnson. Where is Porky when we need him? Take note of what the Bulldogs did last year, they brought success, ok they didn't make the GF either, but they got the spoon last year.

 

[ningnangnong]

Let Clinton and Parker go?

Er, how about we don't.

 

[Burg]

Let Clinton and Parker go?

Er, how about we don't.

If it means we get big, strong aggressive props that can lay a foundation and get us going forwards, err, yeah.

 

[Foordy]

burg, they said that about our team this year and we were one game from the GF... also about Clinton i don't know why people are still judging him on last years form (when they say we should let him go), he has been one of our best forwards this year. Parker has also been one of our most consistent forwards this year

 

[Foordy]

Let Clinton and Parker go?

Er, how about we don't.

If it means we get big, strong aggressive props that can lay a foundation and get us going forwards, err, yeah.

we have money up our sleeve to sign a decent player, but why sign a new player for the sake of signing someone when there are no decent players on the market
