2026 Pre-Season Discussion

[BroncsFan]

I sincerely hope Piaks isn't going to be one of those players who's career is cut short because of injuries/concussion, but I got the feeling that's exactly what is going to happen.

Did Loiero ever cop a suspension for shoulder charging him in the face during the GF?

Such a dog act that should've been blasted by the media... a guy thats had known concussion issues and he's off the ground with a shoulder straight to the face.... ****ing **** should be suspended for half the season

Grade 2 Careless High Tackle - will miss 2 games.

Bullshit... off the ground and direct shoulder contact to the face... should be sitting out for an age.

To be fair I think if the hope is to punish the Storm the sooner he can be back on the field the better.

I still can't believe he played for QLD, he is the very definition of a plodder.

Surely if Gilbert & Flegler are fit he misses out.

Absolute lunatics, very definition of got that dawg in them. Deadset shame we've not seen enough of them.

Hopefully they are, for the sake of state and club.

Piakura saying on social media that he won't be out for 8 weeks.

Says he's already back running and will be back next week.

The club made an official update he'll be out for up to 8 weeks so not sure what's going on there...

Yeah strange.. maybe worried about his position in the team lol

Well there was that time Corey Oates had his leg ripped off only to find out he was back the next week.

[McHunt]

Ben Hunt in the paper saying he's feeling his age in the preseason, thinking right now this might be his last. That he's a week to week prospect. But once the season proper starts he always enjoys it more.

Not much in it.

I wouldn't mind to see him hang around as depth next year, but it would have to be on minimum wage.

Mariner and Tawha my MOTM from camp. Coming home now and season launch is the 9th and leave for UK on the 9th.

 

[Swordfish]

So, when at full strength & healthy, our bench could likely be:

14. BHunt/Paix(1 of them start)
15. Xman
16. Talty
17. Tawha

Billy Walters and Blake Mozer are in that mix for 9/14. We could even get crazy and carry Reynolds on the bench, with Hunt starting at 7, and then mix and match.

 

[Swordfish]

I agree however, Billy would only come into contention pretty much after R16 so, it’s up to Mozer to showcase what he has got until Billy’s availability.

Ffs, I hope Mozer stays healthy & this is the year where he announces his arrival to 1st grade and consistently play great footy. If not, Bukowski guy might’ve all the attention.

How you gonna disrespect Karapani like that...

And poor Paix too.
