Re: Should Ashley Taylor Be Promoted
That's silly, and isn't the argument at all. We aren't saying he's not a good player.
But this absolute garbage of fitting a player into a team not matter what, just because he might leave, is rubbish. Then to talk about splitting the halves, moving one of them to FB, and moving our FULL TIME FULLBACK to the centre. That's the issue here. Not that Taylor has talent.
I believe the 4 people who have seen him play. I really do.
It's not fitting him into the team no matter what, or just because we might lose him. It's that some of us believe it would make the Broncos a better team, because he can bring something to the team that no other player at the Broncos can.
Do I think he's better than any Broncos spine player at the moment?
Not from an individual point of view.
I am however convinced the team as a whole will be better with him there in a partnership with Hunt or Milford, as besides his individual talent, he will bring control, balance and a kicking game we just don't have.
I'm also not advocating to throw him in the deep end to swim or perish, but slowly introduce him to FG to eventually reach what I believe will be the best solution for the Broncos. Ash may be young, but he has a very mature footy brain.
Fact of the matter is that for the above to happen, a reshuffle will be necessary, and then the question becomes how to do that...
Whether Hunt or Milford makes room is the question, but given our lack of 3/4 talent, moving Boyd there and Milford to Fullback would be the most logical, but there is certainly merit in the thought of making Hunt our 9 for example.
