And now for something completely different

[GCBRONCO]

So for a change of pace I was thinking to myself today of all the players over the years that only played maybe a handful of games or a couple of seasosn at the Broncos for various reasons that I wished had of been able to stay at the club and how would they have developed? So what I'm going to do is put up one player in a squad of 25, the top 17 represents the regular side and the rest depth and developing players, what I want is the next person to post their chosen player in that side and why they wanted to see more of that player. Maybe it was injury that forced them to retire, maybe their age meant they were at the end of their career, maybe due to salary cap restrictions they had to be released.

For me I was debating between it being Robbie Ross or Harvey Howard, Robbie Ross was at that time a very promising fullback who really showed his potential in that one season he played for the Broncos, in fact had he of been able to stay with the club I have my doubts that Darren Lockyer would have been developed into the fullback he would become and instead developed as a longterm replacement for Kevin Walters. On the otherhand Harvey Howard was a hard uncompromising prop forward the Broncos brought to the club in 2000 from Wests from memory who while was not in the league of the likes of Civoniceva or Webcke proved to be a pretty valuable asset to the side when he did play, I just liked the way he went out and played it tough and hard. So in the end I went with Harvey Howard.

We lost a few good players at the end of the 2002 season and I feel Harrison was the biggest loss. He really looked to be developing into the ball playing lock that we needed. Of course his form in the years after that made us really regret losing him, won Souths POTS in 2004 and has gone on to represent Queensland. I'd still take him back in a heartbeat.

Motu Tony

Haha that was my first thought too beads. To me motu tony was the one that got away for us. He only played a handful of games but IRCC he got MOTM 2 games in a row and single handedly won those games for us. Spent a lot of time on bench (probably didnt mow bennets yard or whatever he made those on the outer do) and then packed his bags for england. Poor usage of him, couldve been anything!

IMO, could have been something special. I liked what i saw when he did play. i think he move to union because of a guaranteed start.

Loved Robbie Ross! I felt a bit disappointed when he left to go to Hunter Mariners...however, it was a blessing in disguise. If he didn't, Locky would never have played fullback!

I love forwards that break through the defence in marvellous fashion and there was one player I remembered way before Dave Taylor, and his name was Tom Learoyd Lahrs.
