Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2021

[vertigo]

I'd still be offering Milford a $400K 1-2 year contract to play 5/8, i'd be very interested to see what he can still do with a decent half back beside him.

If you are into BDSM I can come over and whip you on the weekends.

 

[upthebroncs]

He has hit the level of Boyd mate, the body retired years ago and he just isn't being honest with himself. We cant be enablers for this type of crap any longer.

Alrighty, I'll believe ya.

How's Blake Austin going?

 

[Foordy]

Looks like the Broncos aren't too keen in keeping Niu. Good.

While Broncos could lose another young star

wwos.nine.com.au

you should actually read Dobbo's report, which is an improvement on the mole (only just) he says we want to keep him but he's likely to leave for a better offer

 

[Foordy]

We saw him get dropped from centre is what we saw.

I doubt the club is keeping him.

I'd at least be excited for this backline in 2022. Would be good to watch.

a rookie got dropped to work on some things in the lower grade ... we didn't put a line through his name

Broncos love a good scapegoat. We should have never dropped him from that right centre position.

I was annoyed when he got dropped.. I thought it was unwarranted.

absolutely we should have. he had some stuff to work on in the lower grades.

as the Storm show, sometimes it is better to give rookies a taste then send them back to the ISC to work on certain aspects of their games before getting another crack.

Yeah.. that'd make sense if we had someone worthwhile playing instead of Niu.. But we don't.. And if we were going to make finals this year.. But we're not..

 

[WASSHHH]

I'm hesitant given he doesn't' seem to pass. He does have elite level fitness though and in the 5-10 minutes he played there, his support play looked really good. I still think he would be the best fullback at the club and Brenko can take his position in the centres.

I'd like to see it happen this year though, we're out of the finals race we should play around with combinations.

Uh oh. Isaako at 6 argument imminent (if it hasn’t already happened).

 

[Foordy]

so what you would have preferred the club do is set back Niu's development because we didn't have anyone significantly better.

we had a couple of players capable of filling a role for us in the centers

 

[upthebroncs]

Just getting this from nrlsupercoachstats.com ... Niu's base stats and evasion was really good. I was enjoying him at centre.

Joseph Manu's first 5 rounds 2021

No, that's your own assessment of what would have transpired. He could have easily kept developing in the NRL.

 

[heartly87]

Alrighty, I'll believe ya.

Personally I have only watched a few superleague games this year and have been underwhelmed by the experience. I don't see anyone outside of the forwards that could fit a spot in the NRL. Its gone backwards I think over there. I wouldn't bring older campaigners back especially playmakers, the current speed of the NRL is something else.
Kelly is probably a little different as he left the NRL as a young man so hasn't really had the knocks to his body playing there. If we keep him I don't see a need for another.

 

[Foordy]

No, that's your own assessment of what would have transpired. He could have easily kept developing in the NRL.

have it your way ... lets try to develop all our young players in the NRL ignoring the ISC and what works for the successful teams ... what could go wrong? ... oh wait, we tried that

 

[upthebroncs]

Hmm? It's not my way.. This year was always a complete write off.. Anyone who thought we were a chance at winning the comp should have never tortured themselves like that.

My point is that you keep Niu at right centre all of this year and by 2022 he'll be a lot better off for it. Instead it's just been confusing for everyone.

wrong

 

[upthebroncs]

wrong

I don't think so.

 

[WASSHHH]

Exactly. Clubs like United would literally 10k plus players, if not more in their junior systems both in England and around the world. Makes me laugh when they go on about Herbie being in their system. Its so common for big clubs in England to be looking at thousands and thousands of kids.

I don’t know much (or anything really) about soccer, but being in the best 10,000 kids (as you’ve indicated, I honestly don’t know) worldwide must mean you’re better than at least a million others?

Sure, he may not have been then next Messi, but I don’t think we should completely discredit the skills he would have demonstrated to make their development squad.

I mean, at least we know he doesn’t have two left feet like Maranta.

 

[Robboi_321]

I think Cobbo is the most over-rated player on BHQ. If he didn't look like Latrell, there would be far less kind words said about him. He is a long way off being a first grade player.

You’re kidding
Herbie is the most overrated on here and daylight second.
