Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2023

Meyn is tipping the Broncos to sign Tristan Sailor. No real surprises there. But it's not a done deal.



Delouise Hoeter:

“He is younger than I am and has been out for less, there’s no reason he can’t do it and get back. I’m confident he has the ability to do that. We have some really good guys at fullback but he can also play in the halves as well. He is very versatile. He is a good talent and the thing about Tristan is you know what you’re going to get out of him at every training session. He competes and isn’t scared about backing himself."​
​
“The way he trains…you can really see that he’s been working in the background over the last couple of years. Props to him and his family. When life gets hard, it’s hard to get motivated to train and stuff like that. But you can see the hard work he’s put in before this point. He is really skilful and not scared about backing himself when it comes to attack. He isn’t scared to throw a pass that could come off. He doesn’t get too caught up in the mistakes and stuff, he just tries to improve.”​
​
“I’m very thankful for the club because they knew I needed surgery at the end of the year and were still happy to give me a two-year extension. It was a big accomplishment to come back after seven years and play one NRL game. That was enough for me. But now I want to push Kotoni, Herbie and the outside backs to play consistently and for a spot myself. We’ve got really good competition here which makes it good for us.”​

While it doesn’t fill me with excitement hes a slight upgrade on Tesi with the bonus of being able to play halves. He’s basically a poor man’s TMM

He was never in to be out.

He would've played the first trial against Wynnum, and at least one more. As it stands, he should get one trial. He'll be competing with Mariner, Arthars, Quai Ward, Pereira and maybe Sailor as next off the rank in the 3/4's. Our strongest depth.

He has better long term prospects. It's the start of a career. Martin was always just a short term solution whereas Sailor could be with us for the next 10 years.

Martin is 27 this season to Sailors 25. It’s not a huge difference and Martin imo is a far more complete player.

Better value for money though no doubt as Martin needed an upgrade and would’ve been an expensive depth option

Delouise becoming a leader in the squad. Would be nice if we could fit him into our line up each week

My bad, didn't realise Sailor is 25 years old now.. just assumed he was around 22. Agree, not a huge difference.. But I do think Sailor does have more upside in general over the next 5 years.

Wow.. When did you view him? Can't say I agree from what I've seen. He looks very talented.

You have to remember my man that highlight reels show HIGHLIGHTS. He hasn't been overly impressive overall. There is definitely talent there and he has a really nice pass on him but you definitely couldn't say he's been killing at Q Cup level. He's been solid at best. I'd suggest that if he hadn't been impressing Reynolds in preseason, he wouldn't even be thought about.

Hope he proves us wrong and when he does inevitably get a chance at some point in the year, goes out there and shows more than he has up until now in Q Cup. After all, last year he was playing in a team getting SMASHED week in, week out.

So who's at the top of the leaderboard for most condescending poster on this forum? You're doing alright.

I think he's good. Always a good sign when a player has enough highlights to generate a highlights reel.

He played a handful of games for the Dragons, and couldn't even cement a spot there. He is just so average. And he isn't exactly young, he'd be 25-26 and has under 10 games.

Sproj is one of the most civil posters on here.

If you made a highlight real of Sproj’s condescending posts it would be more misleading than a Tristan Sailor highlight real.
