Broncos Confirm 2018 Trials

Staggs looked good out there, lots of energy and keen for work. He can cover multiple positions too.

He is a very good player, he might be a smokie on the wing for Rd 1. He would certainly be more handy than Isaako or Pearson.

How are his ball skills, I didn’t see too much of him last night but what I did see I was impressed with. I reckon he could be a really handy bench hooker, he’s got the speed and looks like he’s strong in contact for his size

He has played in the halves in the NYC as well as many other positions. A strong season in ISC could see him knocking on the door.

Not sure he is more handy than Issako in some ways. I think his goalkicking ability is going to see him become a strong contender. I still dont really think any of our players last night did enough to push themselves into the nrl side. Staggs and Opacic had a couple of big hits, Payne was good, Fifita was good, but it was all against a pretty poor Capras side. The biggest let down for me was our Halves.

Do you know if Opacic's injury is serious? I heard he did some hammy damage.
 
I actually thought Shibasaki played ok too, made one big break where he showed good speed. Our halves and hookers were very one dimensional, just your stock standed shape to pass then step back on the inside only to get tackled. Kicking game very average. Our lack of deapth in the halves could see us in serious trouble if we pick up an injury to milf or Kodi.

Does anyone know how many minutes Issako played and was he playing wing at all?

He played wing in the second half... when Corey Allen scored his second. Then at the back end he was playing fullback again (going by the fluro yellow boots??).

The game was too stop start to really get a gauge of much. Can barely recall the fullbacks and wingers having to return kicks with so many errors and penalties.

Considering all the players who had surgery etc that are absent it's a pretty decent side, Kahu back for it is a great sign.

I do find it interesting that David Fifita was able to get a spot in the side but not Payne Haas.
