I’ve been on the train for a long time. Biko to fullback toot toot.

I wonder if we could ever see KNik moved to 1. Not this year or even next but when Boyd is injured or retires.
I have serious doubts that Isaako will ever be a good fullback.
Would not like Nikorima at 1.
I'd rather blood a junior there like we should have done with Allan. Isaako would do until we bring through someone like Fanitesi Niu.
Unpopular opinion: I wouldn't care if Milford left the Broncos and Nikorima took the 6 position.
1. Isaako
6. Nikorima
7. O'Sullivan/Boyd/Deardon
Don't necessarily agree with the notion just stating what I GUESS might be the reality. I think there's enormous pressure on Knik to perform right out of the gates.Ouch!
Dam Fifita is carving up in this all stars game. Give him run on second row.
It'll be interesting to see how Seibold handles Fifita. Having the shit Fifita as your cousin in your ear when you are the most talented 18 year old in the NRL isnt what you want as a fan.
I am not a coaching genius but I feel like this is the time to back the young guys and give them time on the field. Haas, Carrigan, Fifita and Staggs can rip opposition teams a new one.He still has to be managed properly. I remember how Sir Alex Ferguson managed his group of talented young players for Man United years ago. He knew when to drop them for their own good and development even though they were playing well.

Sure. But that’s a conversation for down the track. Right now we are debating a round 1 team and these are the best we have available. When they need a rest we should go to our depth and that’s the experienced guys like Taga and Fensom.You have to play them, but knowing when to pull them out of the firing line for a spell is vitally important too, especially with the forwards. You can easily burn them out at a young age.
I'm happy for the club to offer a 5 year deal to himIt’s scary how good Fifita is at 18. From memory we have him locked up until the end of 2020.
Brisbane Broncos, you have until Nov 1, 2019 to lock the kid up long term or there will be clubs lining up out the door, ready to pay massive $ for him.
He is our future.
I'd offer him ten year with milestone agreements along the way. It will be his 27-30 years where he will be at his outstanding best I reckon.I'm happy for the club to offer a 5 year deal to him
