Still think a winger is the least important position and always has been. You can’t really think a winger is top priority for broncos to be spending money on. Game is won by big forwards and halves that will never change.Did you watch any games this year?
Our first choice wingers would struggle to get us past the 30m line..
Penrith build their game on the back of their outside backs doing the work.
Probably the only guy we've got in our 30 that is capable of doing this is Cobbo and you don't know what you're going to get with him and can't do it on his own.

Staggs for me will head into the Tunza zone as he ages and could be an option at centre, second row or lock. I agree he would be handy off the bench.I would say where Cobbo can differ is that he can play centre, but can also fill in at wing and fullback if needed... you can get 3 for the price of one potentially, which provides squad versatility, but also in game cover.
Staggs at this point is a centre only... although he could become a bench utility in the future playing that Dyl Walker bench middle role and providing value as cover for outside backs, second row, etc. Maybe even halves given his previous time at five eight, but he's not used that way at the moment.
That would probably be my plan if retaining both of them... that bench utility role is becoming more and more important and Staggs could be that player for us in the future with Cobbo and Mariner being the long term centres.
hunt is that sort of player tho I guess, creative players make errors but it dosent inherently mean they are no good, they are actually very important because they are rare and the only blokes on the field that can get points from not much going on. It really depends on what type of team Madge wants to build, I think attacking flare with hunt, Walsh, mozer, Reynolds and Mam could put on a lot of points and is the direct counter to other teams (Penrith) that prefer to grind wins slowly through metre gains and ball controlGreatly over rated at club level IMO .
Over plays his role far too often . Mistakes flow from him .
There are reasons Flanno wants to let him go ....
Needs to get out of his Kevvie comfort zone you mean, I think he’ll flourish under Maguire. It is all up to SELWYN.I do think its more than possible letting Cobbo go could backfire on us bigtime. He does have a lot of upside but he might need to get out of his Broncos comfortzone to kick on.
Don't toy with meI'm hearing rumours of a direct swap: Billy Walters & Jock Madden for Ben Hunt.
