Broncos 2020 Squad

[Foordy]

Milford is going to be our fullback when he’s fit.
1 Milford
6 Dearden
7 Croft
9 Turpin
14 Paix

no he's not ... he isn't dedicated enough to turn himself into a fullback ... but if he's not careful Dearden will take his spot in the team

Isaako shouldn’t be the fullback but I have wanted Bird to get the spot for a while. I just can’t see Milford being left out by Seibold. I think Boyd will get dropped throughout the season. He will be the first scapegoat. That will move Bird into the centres and Milf will be the fullback. Just a prediction, not at all what I want to happen

if Milf was even a chance at fullback he would have spent plenty of time training there during the off season ... he hasn't

Bird or Isaako will start the season there ... and if they suck, come june 30 Niu will be rushed into the side

 

[the_next]

We need Paix, Niu (post June 30) and dearden in the 17 weekly imo.
Not sure how it would work but I’d be ok with letting Isaako explore his options to start with.

 

[Cult]

scapegoat? Not sure the definition is understood.

As in first player dropped for a complete lack of game plan from the coaching staff? Can you try not to be a condescending douche this year please?

Mod note: wasn’t calling him a douche, was requesting that he wouldn’t be one this year.

I think he will Bradbury his way into it. Hopefully Bird kills it.

 

[Cult]

Scapegoat is like an excuse for behaviour being mental issues, no?

Boyd will be dropped for performance, no scapegoat.

Or like not having a father figure making you grow up to be a terrible person, no?

You’re cherry picking one word, knowing exactly what I meant instead of arguing the point. But sure, carry on.

 

[Sproj]

Leave it there @soup and @Cult3. Thanks

 

[Finbar]

Do we have a genuine left centre in the squad? Staggs and Bird are both right centres, not sure about Herbie, Coates or Perese.

Darius has it covered.

Well someone needs to keep the grass covered.

What about running this out during the trials in no particular order:

1. Niu 20mins / Bird 20 mins / Isaako 20 mins / Milf 20 mins
2. Isaako 20 mins / Coates 30 mins / Vudogo 30 mins
3. Staggs 40 mins / Perese 40 mins
4. Boyd 40 mins / Bird 40 mins
5. Oates 40 mins if fit / Farnsworth 40 mins
6. Milford 40 mins / Paix 40 mins
7. Croft 40 mins / Dearden 40 mins
8. Haas 40 mins / Flegler 40 mins
9. Turps 40 mins / Macca 40 mins
10. Lodge 40 mins / Kennedy 40 mins
11. Glenn 40 mins / Bullemor 40 mins
12. Fifita 40 mins / TPJ 40 mins
13. Carrigan 40 mins / Joffa 40 mins

And you tell them names mean nothing, you perform you're in round 1.

Except you’ve named 26 players there. So you’d be happy with a Rd 1 team of potentially:

1. Isaako
2. Vudogo
3. Perese
4. Boyd
5. Farnworth
6. Paix
7. Dearden
8. Flegler
9. Macca
10. Kennedy
11. Bullemor
12. TPJ
13. Joe O

14. Milf/Turpin/Coates
15. Lodge
16. Glenn
17. Carrigan

I get what you’re saying though

Sure, that could happen but last season's good form counts too, which basically only helps Haas, Lodge, Staggs, Glenn and Fifita. Therefore, every other position should be a shoot out.

So this idea of the modern day fullback is confusing to me , tedesco, turbo, RTS and you can throw in papnhyzan and CNK.
The best fullbacks in the comp yet none have much ball playing imo , all are great support players with speed and footwork.
The only one that I'd consider the whole package is turbo, who is just a freak.
So I'm happy to give isaako the 1 ahead of bird and then niu next in line.

all of them are much better than Isaako in that department ... not to mention all the other areas

I agree but he's not getting a chance from most , he's played 2 nines games and he's on the garbage heap already.
I'm not convinced with Croft but I'm not going to punt him yet , let's just wait until a few rounds in .
