Broncos Player Movement and Rumours 2020

[Browny]

I remember watching the Roos games when Joey and Locky were the halves they didn’t really gel.

Maybe with more time they could have been lethal

 

[Renegade]

Can't really think of a good thread to bring this up, so I'll do it here.

Did anyone watch the Matty Johns interview with Joey Johns last night? Was really interesting, there was a part where Matty asked him what his biggest regret was, he said he got a massive offer from the Broncos in 2000 and regrets not taking it / wonders how his career would've turned out differently.

****, could you imagine that? We could've had a Lockyer & Johns halves pairing for 7-8 seasons, in their primes.

Lockyer would've stayed FB and his career doesn't go the way it does IMO.

Sliding doors moment for him.

 

[Battler]

We'd have won all the premierships! 2001 & 2002 we'd have had 1 Lockyer 6 Johns 7 Alf. Holy shmoley.

What about the 2006 spine: 9. Berrigan (Ennis injured), 7. Johns, 6. Locky, 1. Hodges (Khunt and Boyd on the wings).

 

[Dexter]

Or his drug taking shame would be on us

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Still early days but looking like Matt Dufty could be squeezed out of the Dragons by Norman. Would be an excellent pickup for Fullback

 

[Kimlo]

Don't rate Dufty. I reckon he'll have to bulk up to remain useful long term which will hinder his speed and while I don't profess to watching a ton of Dragons games I haven't seen much from him other than running game.

His defence is Bryce Cartwright-like.

 

[Super Freak]

Dufty has an attitute problem. Probably one of the reasons why he could be forced out.

I think pass.

pass ... Isaako offers everything he does and more

 

[Allo]

Immortal-in-waiting Shane Perry would’ve usurped Johns anyway

The TRUE immortals 13:

1. Corey Allan
2. Lachlan Maranta
3. Scott Minto
4. Jack Reed
5. Leon Bott
6. Palmer Wapau
7. Shane Perry
8. Nick Kenny
9. Ian Lacey
10. Carl Webb
11. Chris Beattie
12. David Stagg
13. Patrick Carrigan

The people's TRUE immortals. These guys were so good, the Broncs either only let the mpart of their career there, finished their career for them or just realised the NRL wasn't good enough for them, or in the case of Carrigan, purely wanted Wolfie to have sleepless nights.

Pearce and Mullen are special cases I think. Mullen in particular, thrown in far too young and touted as the next Johns. That said, not sure who else you'd go with in the halves. Maybe PWall? **** Anasta too, overrated ****.

You know who else was touted as the next Andrew Johns?

Benjamin Hunt
