Let’s all be realistic here.. if Grant was with us as a 16yo there is no chance he would still be here now..
Roosters or Storm would have well and truely taken him from us by now.
Like the Walker story, its not a good look for the club (although sounds like this one was completely out of our hands) but its easy for current management to say ‘wasn’t under our watch’..

It's completely different to the Walker debacle.
There is literally nothing the club could have done different

I think what @the_next is saying is the club’s previous management probably would’ve found a way to take its eye off the ball with Grant and allow a sharper club to swoop in and get him

They didn't
Even the media vultures haven't been able to spin this as a negative against the club.

How can they though really? Basically this is Harry's dad fault, not the Broncs.

Ball carry and step ...
Right handers carrying the ball in the left is not natural . Most right handers step better off their right foot .
You`re a soccer guy . You know left footers are gold .

Broncos Team List: Round 1 v Panthers
Prop Martin Taupau will make his Broncos debut in a near full-strength outfit to take on the Panthers in the season opener at Penrith on Friday night.

Interesting. Three points in there:
1. Nice dig at Flegs about his demotion
2. Walsh looks like he will be back for round 2
3. Hetherington only a month away!

I've cleaned out the rumour tracker. There are no outstanding rumours. Some findings:
No one enhanced their reputation as a fortune teller this off season. Dobbo, as ever, was supremely confident, but wrong, about pretty much everything. Read was as reliable as flipping a coin. Crawley was indiscernible from gibberish. But the ten gallon bucket of shit goes to Peter Badel for his exclusive scoop on Herbie's "verbal agreement." Someone will be pissing themselves over that somewhere, but it won't be Pete.
Special merit award to the Mole for breaking the Karl Oloapu scandal and then not bothering to follow it up.

The "$3 ice cream" story was more important than getting to the bottom of salary cap investigation.
So now the narrative is that Brisbane lost this whiz kid because they didn't rate him.
The other narrative is that they stopped a fledgling upstart club from signing a player, so they were justified to pay overs for Herbie and Fleg.

Dont really know why you are obsessed with being left handed or left footed to play on the left. You dont have to be to be effective on the left. Being a Football ( not soccer ) guy you can look at somebody like Dennis Irwin to disprove that. While it might be handier, its not a necessity. You just need to be comfortable in that position and you need to recruit the players that are.

I'm operating in the dark here but the narrative I've managed to assemble in my head is that of player managers playing their own games: with the clubs, with the media and with the players they represent.
