What did everyone think he was going to say? Of course he's going to talk up his new club. Should he have pulled a Hayne and given an interview talking about how he'd really like to still be at the Broncos?
 
Only early Pre season so might not be nothing but auditions for positions are well and truly underway

It would be absolutely nothing... whoever sent it is trying to generate anger across the fanbase by suggesting that Billy has come in and is getting favoritism.

All the vids I've seen so far have had Mam at 6 I believe.... has surprised me that Badel and co havent leaped onto it to heap pressure on the rookie.

Have seen Reynolds at 7 with him at 6, and also seen Gamble at 7 with him at 6.

I dont even know if I've seen footage of Billy yet.
 
Surely not.. Billy Walters, ffs

He could be training the house down and doing some unbelievable stuff but as a fan, you'd like to see him earn his stripes first in a trial or a game

Is it even an issue if he does train with them at times in the off-season anyway? Wouldn't you want your potential depth options in your squad having some knowledge/training of those around them particularly in the spine where combinations matter even more so?

Of course he should be training with the team... he's part of the top 30 FFS

I was highlighting that the tweet was clearly trying to generate anger in the fanbase about favoritism.

I've barely seen any footage of Billy training in the halves yet someone puts it out on Twitter that Billy is a likely starter, because he's filling in at 6 for some ball sessions.

It's basically trolling from the media and has already caught a few nibbles on here.

Sorry mate wasn't aimed at you actually, I'm with you on this. Sometimes I think fans buy into these nothing stories too easily. It's a bit like saying they saw Mead taking bombs from Reynolds and then making some crap story that makes him a frontrunner for the wing. Training involvement is more then just your strongest 17 combination.

Yeah of course Billy has to train in some sort of position he can't be practising sitting in the stands. The fact that he had a run there next to Reynolds is a great thing for the competition for the 6 Gamble, Kelly and to some degree Mam can see that and know look the position ain't mine there's other blokes here I need to be busting my ass if I want this spot.
The part I found interesting nothing story or not was Herbie and Nui switching around id really like to see Herbie get some game time there in the trials to see how he goes.
 
Every halves option is going to be training in the halves at some point during pre-season.

Just like all of the fullback options are going to be training at fullback at points during the pre-season.

Then in the trials, they will get a crack and whoever impresses the most will get the nod.

relax ... we're in what, week 3 of the preseason? i'd fully expect every option to be sending time playing together ... Kevvie wouldn't be doing his job if they weren't.

next week you'll probably see a spine of Cobbo, Kelly, Reynolds and Paix.

literally the only guarantee is Reynolds at 7. we need to find his partners, and the besty way to do that is to have them play with him. see who works the best
