Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2022

[pagey]

If we aren't going for Berrell, I would love to get Parcell back.

apparently between us and the dolphins

Of course it is, aren't they literally all?

 

[Cult]

If someone wants free likes they should just re-post the articles McHunt steals directly after he steals them so anyone who has ever questioned Badel can see them too. I don't know if it's possible but articles shouldn't be hidden behind being blocked.

 

[BroncosFever]

Parcell wouldn't be the player we remember him to be, he'd have to have a bit of creativity with his kicks and passes otherwise it's barely an upgrade

 

[Sproj]

Here's an interesting discussion starter. I reckon these are the locked in spots for '23. Fill in the blanks and especially who is available (or you think will be available) on the market. We talk a lot about keeping money to recruit, I agree but who are we recruiting? It doesn't even have to be superstars

1.
2.
3. Staggs
4.
5.
6.
7. Reynolds
8. Haas
9.
10. Carrigan/Flegler
11. Capewell
12. Riki/Piakura
13 Hetherington/Carrigan

14.
15. Robati/Willison
16. Willison/Robati
17.

Now of course we have a number of kids who can be put in and around - Cobbo, Mam, Mariner, Niu, Mozer, Te Kura, Piakura

We also have journeymen who can be plugged in and played in case of not getting anyone - Jensen, Palasia (these two I think are better than journeymen but based on age and experience, they probably fit), Pereira, Lee, Gamble, Walters.

We also have some unsigned guys who are, depending on what you go with, unlikely to be here - Oates, Farnworth, Kennedy, James, Turpin.

So who are you retaining out of contract and who are you bringing in to fill out the positions and squad?

I’d be open to having nikorima back. Give him a shot at 6 if that isn’t working he can be 14.

14. Palasia
15. Robati
16. Piakura
17. Carrigan

We don't need to be buying any outside backs, we're well stacked there. We must invest heavily in the spine. I would be luring Walsh back with a healthy offer, especially if he is unhappy at the Warriors, and I think the class of him and Reynolds will be enough to allow Mam and Mozer to develop well in their own positions.

I am just about done with the bench utility experiment. We're way too soft in the middle when Haas and Carrigan come off. We have to go with a heavy bench. Carrigan is benched because I think one of him or Haas need to be on field at all times and you obviously start Haas. Haas is cycled with Carrigan and Flegler is cycled with Palasia. Melbourne have proven the strat of having a quality Prop on the bench works with NAS. Paix can be injury coverage for Mozer in reserve grade and Turpin is free to go wherever he wants (probably Super League, but a lifeline from the likes of the Dolphins or Tigers isn't beyond possibility either).

 

[McHunt]

Latest Farnworth rumour being spread is the Eels are chasing him.

 

[Galah]

The broncos would be fucking morons to let him go, he’s done it the right way, gone about his business quietly and improved every year. He’s a no frills speedster, we mustn’t let him go.

5. Jordan Pereria
6. Ezra Mam
7. Adam Reynolds
8. Payne Hass
9. Blake Mozer
10. Pat Carrigan
11. Kurt Capewell
12. Jordan Riki
13. Josh Mcguire

14. Kobe Hetherington
15. Thomas Flegler
16. Brandon Piakura
17. Kodi Nikorima

I would roll the dice and try to bring back McGuire on a two year contract for now, But sync him up with Reynolds. I'd make sure knew from the start, when Reynolds goes he goes too. If he can recapture some of his pre Seibold form, that pack looks good.

Kodi would also be told he is cover for the entire spine straight off the bat. Hetherington I'd have developing his defence at centre to cover there if needed.

I'd probably also sign Cooper Johns if I could or another spine utility player as injury cover for the spine.

If Farnsworth sticks around, I'd toy with moving Oates on. If he goes I'd try to retain Oates.

I think it's all in on the kids though. Mam, Mozer and Nui won't learn anything off Reynolds if they are in Q cup. The threat of being brought off for Kodi Nikorima should keep them working on being the best they can.

 

[Xzei]

If we aren't going for Berrell, I would love to get Parcell back.

Any idea the mins he plays in SL?

 

[abashii]

"Broncos powerhouse"

Plays 20 minutes a game off the bench, usually finds an error..

Those aren't errors - his passes to the opposition are picture perfect, and the knock-ons are actually him catching the ball too sweetly...

The apparent off contract players for next year that are worth signing imo (not saying we should sign them, just that they would be good pick ups for any club):

Outside backs:
Tom Opacic
Taylah May
Christian Crichton

Spine:
Kieren Foran
Matt Moylon
Hayze Perham
Anthony Milford
Tom Starling
Matt Parcell

Forwards:
Matt Eisenhuth
Siosiua Takiuaho
Royce Hunt
Herman Ese Ese
Martin Taupau (low wage)
Jarrod Wallace
Angus Crichton
Ryan Matterson
Briton Nikora
Joe Stimson
Tariq Sims

From that list, depending on contract size of course, I’d consider the following:

Nikora
Foran
Opacic
Wallace
Angus Crichton
Matterson
Tom Starling
Matt Moylon

 

[theshed]

Based on the above:

1. Walsh (800k)
2. Oates (350k)
4. Cobbo (400k)
3. Staggs (800k)
5. Mariner (250k)
6. Moylan / Mam (300k/200k)
7. Reynolds (700k)

Ese'Ese has just fallen off a cliff with his form. He looked good when he was here.

I still think kodi nikorima would be a good buy & could do a job at 9.
