BHQ Picks the Broncos team: WINGERS

[Jeba]

The centres have been locked in, and it's congratulations to Justin Hodges and Gerard Beale. Now it's time to pick the speed men which will hopefully be finishing off the opportunities created by the centres and scoring a few individually brilliant one as well.

It can be said that last year our wingers were quite disappointing so let's hope their performance improves this season. But who will be in the 2 and 5?

1. Josh Hoffman
2.
3. Justin Hodges
4. Gerard Beale
5.

 

[Coxy]

i picked Yow Yeh and Kemp (as everyone else has so far), but if either of them aren't showing form then I'd have no hesitation in giving Gagai a crack.

 

[Big Pete]

Yow Yeh and Kemp for me. From the sounds of it, Gagai still has some ways to go.

Once he works it out, he'll come in for either.

EDIT: Then again, Henjak does love his bolters.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Yow Yeh and Kemp.

 

[Porthoz]

It's a tough one, with Yow Yeh edging the others on experience and continuity.
There isn't a split hair between Gagai and Kemp in my mind, but it wouldn't surprise me if the former gets the nod.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Yow Yeh and Kemp but as others have said there really isn't much in it so Gagai could very well be there as well, he would be my next in line, this is definitely the year Yow Yeh and Kemp need to step up.

 

[Coxy]

Yow Yeh especially. He's had so many raps, and suffered 2nd season syndrome last year. He needs a big one this year.

 

[Big Pete]

Both are in as big as s**t as each other.

I thought Hodges really carried Yow Yeh in 2009, made him out to be much better than he was by guiding him on the field, true he struggled with injury through out 2010 but I think he's just one of those checkered players.

Kemp has had two disappointing seasons and is on the verge of being a one season wonder.

 

[Coxy]

Can't judge Kemp on last season. Got a serious injury in round 3 and never really got back on the field.

 

[Big Pete]

Point but the wing position is so interchangable these days, one season ending injury can be a career ending injury if you've failed to make the right impression.

And really, Kemp's Round 2 performance was by far the worst of any winger at the Broncos last season.

Not just that but you really have to go back to the season prior to him joining the Warriors to see him produce a season of high standards, he certainly wasn't impressive at the warriors and while he had injuries last season hinder him, he really does need to cement his position this season or Gagai should be backed IMO.

Kemp and Yow Yeh for mine.

I'm not too concerned with their performances last season.

Yow Yeh is still young, and as Coxy mentioned, Kemp's season was basically a write-off after that injury.

 

[Big Pete]

I thought the Warriors season went without saying...poor guy, tried extremely hard but it just wasn't coming off. When he played at Suncorp...you knew he couldn't wait to leave the Warriors.

While I have no problem with backing Kemp he is at an important part of his career where he needs to stepup or face setbacks that could see him being little more then a one year wonder, you can't justify poor seasons continually that are becoming a common occurance with just the excuse of oh injuries and homesickness, his now back at the Broncos so the homesickness can't be used as an excuse and when he is on the field he has to deliver or face competition from the likes of Gagai who won't just stick around forever if they feel they are being held back when they should be given the opportunity. In the end this is a make or break season for Kemp, more so then Yow Yeh because another season of either poor form or injuries really doesn't make for a convincing arguement his a longterm prospect, but I certainly hope with a fresh offseason to work with that he can turn it around for his sake.

 

[Flutterby]

Yow Yeh was an easy choice for mine, but I really struggled with who to put on the other side. None of those guys really impess me ATM. I ended up picking Kemp, but not with any real confidence or satisfaction at the thought, esp going by his attitude when he was a Easts last year - he really didn't impress me as being overly motivated to get back into the NRL side and didn't really do the right things by his rehab in order to get there either. Am hoping that was just a blip and he does get back to great form this year.

 

[Big_Dave]

1. Hoffman
2. Kemp
3. Yow Yeh
4. Hodges
5. Gagai

Lock it in Eddie and Ivan icon_thumbs_u

 

[Je$ter]

Yow Yeh couldn't tackle his way out of a paper bag, putting him in the centres is crazy.

I picked Yow Yeh and Gagai. Gagai is a rookie but can play, Yow Yeh needs to return to 2009 form or Qld Cup.

 

[Big_Dave]

Yow Yeh will have a big year this year.
From all reports, he has been training like a machine and has been the most impressive.
Don't believe the hype behind Beale
