Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2021

[Dazza 92]

How would the bulldogs coach know for sure where he is going to play? I’ll celebrate when Piakura announces it.

Barrett said hes not coming to the Bulldogs and he is staying in Brisbane.....thats the clincher for me....could have simply said hes not coming....but said he is staying in Brisbane and that Broncs have got themselves a great young 2nd rower...

great news re Piakura

But Pete, you and Hoops said he was already gone to the Dogs in a massive blow to the Broncos?!! I’m so confused because you two are always so reliable and never make shit up.

Far out, this week could prove to be the full steam marker of the full Broncos turn around.

Suddenly the team runs out a game better than an opposition. Riki re-signs and does a war cry to others to do the same.

Piakura and Staggs likely stay and looks like Coates will too. Wow, this could be huge for us moving forward.

A Staggs-Milf halves pairing of Dearden leaves? Would it work?

One of the big obstacles to over come with this deal was Gainey (Piakura’s manager) and Beavis (Barrett’s manager) are business partners. It’s high likely Barrett would know first.

I actually find it hard to see where Nui fits into our lineup when we are back at full strength. Don't get me wrong he has been good at center, but with Staggs back (who i believe should stay in the centers) i don't actually see a spot for him.

Initially i thought wing was Herbie's best position ... but I was wrong, he looks at home in the centers.

I don't think Nui would make a good winger either.

and if Isaako can build on tonight's performance, the fullback position would be out of the equation ...

nice headache to have though

Isn’t it wonderful to have some competition for spots!

I’d seriously consider starting Staggs on the bench. I also think Herbie will be a gun anywhere in the backline.

 

[Wolfie]

Hopefully we have kept Piakura on a good value contract, but its a bit shabby that Kevvie didnt even know.

 

[Alec]

i know alot here have high opinions of him but its just hard to get excited over a backrower when we desperatly need to find a gun half hooker and fullback to lift us from also rans status

Hopefully the Broncs have a Titans style clean out over the next few years. Lodge, maybe TPJ, possibly might even have to be Flegler. Need to shift the balance from the forwards into the spine again.

 

[Broncapz]

I actually see Herbie as a fullback.

He's got this real leave everything out on the field starch to him that Billy Slater had.

Maybe he does and was waiting for an official announcement with some others over the weekend

Kev loves fucking with the media I think

Backline is shaping up nicely! Still big questions on the spine unfortunately. If Kevvie can work that out this season the future looks bright. Herbie and Staggs in the centres will be the most exciting/lethal centres in the comp.

He did actually look genuinley shocked.

 

[Sproj]

Coates looks like he loves being a Bronco and that makes me very happy.

It's his ball playing and kicking that has surprised me the last few weeks.
