Thanks. I've also added Tomasi Seru to the Development list. I think Josh Rogers was on T&T at the Titans last season.
Yeah I seen we signed him and yes Rogers was with Titans for pre season last year, he played in their Holden Cup team back in 2016 lol

Ah shit only just realised @Milford6 said Devs list not T&T. Apologies mate.
 
Not that courier mail is completely accurate but courier mail aren’t reporting Josh is on a T&T
development contract. I've seen the list CM put out, its accurate in terms of players but some players are missing from each team

Who do you think are missing from the Broncos' list?

well teams have already announced other players, yet are off the list while some announced have been listed. there is a couple youngsters that'll be with us.
 
Keen to see John Radel, looks like he was a gun junior and fell off a bit, hopefully we can turn him into something.
 

Bayliss has been added into our top 30 squad, our squad is now complete.

I like Bayliss, has a bit of a Collins feel in that he is a little less heralded but seems to be hard working and has a big future ahead.
 
So obviously, there will be more ins and outs before the season starts but right now, looks like our options in each position are as below (probably in order of preference):

Fullback: Walsh, Farnworth, Niu, Cobbo, Arthars
Wing: Oates, Cobbo, Pereira, Mariner, Hoeter, Arthars, Farnworth
Centre: Farnworth, Staggs, Cobbo, Mariner, Hoeter, Arthars, Niu, Oates
Five-Eighth: Mam, Madden, Walters, Walsh, Staggs, Paix,
Halfback: Reynolds, Mam, Madden, Walters, Paix
Prop: Haas, Flegler, Carrigan, Jensen, Hetherington, Palasia, Robati, Willison, Bayliss
Hooker: Walters, Paix, Mozer
Second-Row: Capewell, Riki, Robati, Piakura, Palasia, Staggs, Oates, Haas, Flegler, Willison
Lock: Carrigan, Hetherington, Flegler, Haas, Jensen, Palasia, Robati, Willison, Bayliss, Piakura, Staggs

Interesting that on the official Broncos' website, Smoothy is not listed anywhere.
 
So based on that, I'm thinking round 1 (dependent on injuries, etc) will look something like this:

1. Walsh/Herbie
2. Oates
3. Staggs
4. Farnworth/Mariner
5. Cobbo
6. Mam
7. Reynolds
8. Haas
9. Walters
10. Flegler
11. Capewell
12. Riki
13. Carrigan

14. Paix
15. Jensen
16. Hetherington
17. Robati/Palasia

They haven't announced him yet. I won't be surprised if hes actually on the development list. 4 hookers although Walters and Paix can play 6 seems strange in a top 30 squad when looking at other teams.

1 Hooker, 1 Utility, 1 18 year old who is 2 years away from being ready.

Our hooker depth is lacking without Smoothey.
