Broncos Roster, Signings and Rumours Discussion 2026

The only thing that would fast track it is if a gun fullback came through the system... or a fullback like an Edwards that is just elite in defence, yardage and good enough with ball in hand.

If for instance we had Iongi coming through the broncos... you could see an argument of moving Reece simply because Iongi is safer and more of a workhorse at fullback.

Walsh doesnt really change his attacking play whether he's at 1 or in the halves... as shown last night he was basically playing 7 with the 1 jersey on.

This fullback would be currently 13 years old. I'm talking about Walsh moving to 6 in 7-8 years, unless he has knee injuries etc to accelerate it.
 
don't we have that young 5/8th brother of Warriors player??? - apparently about 18 or so from memory?

Maybe he can be moulded into a Fullback (which has less pressure on them to play make whilst developing). I know this is moving chess pieces, but the ability to move there for 2027 or 2028, build combinations with Walsh/Mamm etc would be good. If Mamm does not improve, then he can be moved into the halves as needed.

The constant would be Walsh, who the team will be mounded around for years to come.

Just a thought

Calvin is in Year 12 at Wavell and only playing Cyril at the moment. Just played last week for Queensland White and had a great tournament- didn't make Australian School boys though- Eels and Knights dominated it. He had a great Cyril season and is playing well in Langer but all that is a long way from NRL, but he's been fantastic to watch this year.

No Qld based player made that side, is that right?

Bilish is the hooker, goes to Currumbin and Titans locked him down until 2030. Plays Meninga for Tweed and captain. He wasn't even off until 28 but Hannay didn't want anyone else to get near him.

He did the last pre-season with NRL and is fulltime next year when he finishes school.

Kalani Patu goes to Keebra and again with the Titans- same Tweed Meninga side.
 
thanks for update 1910 - is he someone that can transition into a fullback, or is he a 5/8th only
