I thought willison was underwhleming as hell compared to what i thought

I actually still really rate Piakura. I think in a good structure and a simple game plan he is a weapon. He’s just young and needs to work on his defence and fuel tank.

I think he has a much higher ceiling than Riki. He just should have never been handed an 80 minute role with no depth at all.

At this stage of his career, he’s perfect for the bench as we saw at the end of 2023.

He’s a good footballer if he can learn to defend and stay on the park.

Better than Baker but still a bit of a penalty magnet and has at least two errrors per game if I recall his playing style correctly.

Baker had groin surgery in the off season .
He has skills and can do some damage with his tackling . I`m willing to give him this preseason to get properly fit , then see during the trials where he`s at .
Fataigue can make good players look bad . I want to see him fully fit before I say - yeah , nah .

I’ll go with your better judgment but I’ll be caning you if he turns out to be the dud I think he is

I love a good redemption story .

Yeah we don't always know what injuries people are carrying. Sometimes playing tough can look like poor form. I think Baker has the components. Hopefully it all comes together.

He’s a bloody big boy. What odds he should be learning how to defend in the back row as well?

He is tall, it gets him in trouble, he got suspended this year for dumping guys on their head. He gets in some awkward tackling positions.

I think that was the case with Cobbo .
Here`s hoping for redemption for several Broncos .

Tall and rangy. Kind of reminds me of a young Yeo with more speed. Interesting to see how he develops.
