Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2021

[Xzei]

Their team came from 18-0 to win 38-24 over the Falcons.

Both of them scored tries along with Richie Kennar.

Massive comeback and scored a good try after halftime just following Luke close to the line on the right. His 15 minutes after HT was destructive.

Is there anywhere to watch this game online?

Actual... do you have a private source or has this popped up in the cm recently

Popped up on Twitter from The Continuous Call Team and was retweeted by Peter Psaltis who said he will be here.

Not exactly reliable sources.

 

[BroncsFan]

What is the source of this rumour? We need a winger but not one on whatever he would want. I'd love to have him on a cheap deal though, he's elite.

If any deal was cheap he'd be straight back to Melbourne.

He's on a ton already... can't see him leaving that unless he's sacked for some reason and if he's been sacked he would just do the Semi and look for a huge rugby deal overseas

Well you know not unreliable either probably believe them more than Badel

Unfortunately not.

You can follow live commentary on the Wynnum facebook page but due to digital rights they can't stream games anymore.

Unless you have a gig the only way to watch is to go to the games.

I just followed the match centre results.

Each week they broadcast two weeks on Kayo and their digital platforms.

Isaako is not a premiership fullback. The difference between his best and worst is here to mars and back. Quoting isaako points is irrelevant as he is the goal kicker........
Most kickers in each team score majority of their points.
Dufty has more upside than isaako.

So, disregard his greater number of linebreaks, try assists, tries too? They don't suit the narrative so out they go too. Even his worst is perfectly fine. Absolute garbage comment from you. Pure shit.

Okay, disregard his kicks. Just tries then. The Broncos have 25 tries. He's scored 4 of them and laid on 4 for others. So his contribution there is 8, so near enough to 33% of our tries either come from Isaako or have been laid on by him. Are those points irrelevant too?

You will also find that most fullbacks in each team score more tries than most players and also set up tries and linebreaks. It's actually what a fullback does.
Just have a look at the elite fullbacks I mentioned. Even some of the lesser lights have high numbers in these categories.

Personally I believe he will be on the wing and if the Vunivalu rumours are true I reckon Oates will be on his way out

I like hynes, but he isn't the messiah. He is a handy player in a strong system. He isn't overly quick.
As far as a fullback goes would he even be top 10 in current standings?
Do we want to win premierships or just improve?
Hynes can probably improve the side but to win a premiership you need a gun at 1..
Tedesco, turbo, gutherson, Roger, papenhuyzen, ponga are the elites.
Personally I would play hynes at 6 but you can't break the bank to sign him..
The common theme with the names above are their elite feet at the line and speed. The speed is the key

I don’t think anyone thinks he’s the messiah. He’s a serviceable fullback option as a stop gap until a gun becomes available. None of the names you suggested are options at the moment and all we have at the club is Isaako.

What would you do then? We can’t just say we’ll take the best or no one and be happy to hang around last place until enough superstars come off contract.

And you also have to build towards the middle/upper end of the premiership to be a realistic chance of nabbing the best players.

Become a respectable top 8 team and the truely elite players may want to go there for the challenge of being the difference.

Yeah and if Reynolds comes into our current spine unchanged (or just with the addition of Staggs) watch how quick he burns out. He’ll be the spine version of Haas last season.

Look at games played. Isaako is being used as the main point of attack, of course he should be up there. And most people don't think his attack is the issue, his defence is horrid. I mean you tried to compare him above to Dufty (Plays for another struggling team who don't even want him) and Hynes (Has played half the games) and he barely has better stats when you look at totals instead of averages.

Play staggs at 1. He has elite speed and footwork that's needed, good engine also.

 

[BooKhaki]

I'm surprised nobody has been talking about Peachey. He is an absolute gun off the bench, I'd be chasing him and telling him you want him to play bench. Also covers centres/halves/hooker/lock pending injuries and need him to start. Still under 30, has a solid 3-4 years in him you'd imagine.

Nah. Trying to fix our culture here. He's not a winner

Rubbish. Isaako is NOT the main point of attack. We only have the bomb, that's our number one and only attacking weapon and it's target is NEVER Isaako. He makes himself an attacking option. He creates chances on his own through his own efforts. Dufty plays for a team that isn't the wooden spoon team. He was compared to Dufty because Dufty was the suggestion from the other poster, nswstables I believe. The Broncos defence is what's horrible. Blaming Isaako is utter rubbish. It's misdirection. It's classic BHQ, Isaako is the new Darius. It's fashionable.

Isaako is not our lroblem and in fact is one of very very few shining lights in our team. If the rest of the team were as good as him we'd be finals bound.

 

[_wwong]

In my head canon, this is my side next year:

1. Hynes
2. Hammer
3. Farnworth
4. Lee
5. Oates
6. Staggs
7. Reynolds (c)
8. Haas
9. B.Smith
10. Carrigan
11. Capewell/Su’A
12. Pangai Jr
13. ‘Glenn’

14. Turpin/Walters/Gamble
15. Bullemor
16. Kennedy/Flegler
17. Riki/Piakura

Seem to be lacking in the prop department. Not sold on carrigan as a prop.

I’ve actually suggested this a few times because i think his running style a attributes remind me of Teddy. It’s a hard position to learn at this point in his career though
