Broncos release Brett Greinke

[Mitch06]

We play the Tigers first week of origin, Su'a is a decent chance to start on the right edge in place of Gillett, Mitchell Moses defends on that side. (I think)

I think you'll find Brooks is on that side from memory...either way he'll destroy him!

Big ask for a teenager. WB usually does not rush them, however does have a knack of identifying the special ones who can start early.

 

[Big Pete]

Was tongue in cheek.

S'ua is a left-side specialist, with Glenn struggling with his hamstring, the call was to throw S'ua in the team.

I'd be surprised if Bennett went that way.

 

[lionred]

Know how long we have him for BP?

 

[Big Pete]

Had a look into it, couldn't find anything.

I haven't heard anything about him being off-contract this year if that's anything to go by.

Su'a is way to young, hopefully Broncos aren't pushing him to early as I believe he is only 18 still and doesn't turn 19 until then end off this year.

if your good enough ... your old enough

Yeah some of the games greats started at 17/18. Seems to be less and less of it happening since the 20s comp started though.

They're not allowed to actually play first grade now until they're 18, so that scraps any 17 year olds.

Most of them were backs when starting this young, some may have gone on to play in the forwards as they got older

 

[lionred]

Yeh probably wasnt as many 18 year olds weighing 100kilos back then too

Maybe playing in the backs at that age but in the forwards at NRL level at that age.. Don't think so, setting him up for failure, most forwards don't fully mature till 23+yrs..

if he is good enough then giving him a taste of the NRL will be good for his development. It is better for his first game of NRL to be played with a near full strength team ... not when we are origin depleted

it's not like Bennett is asking Arrow to take Parkers spot right now ...

 

[Hardone]

Foordy I was talking about Su'a not Arrow.
