Broncos Sign Gavet

[Ari Gold]

I was quite impressed with the little I saw of Gavet. He always looked to offload the ball in the games I saw him, and he did it faster than Parker. Could be a great pick up.

 

[Cult]

But he's not a washed up Knights player? I thought that was all Bennett was going to bring back to us?!

Just kidding, good signing if he can keep his head straight. Pretty sure he was one of the Tigers who dominated the Rabbits forward pack at the start of the year.

 

[Mr Fourex]

Smashes Ashton Sims....I like him already.

 

[Broncoman]

Good signing for a short value which is good. I had a fear this would be Russell Packer as the Broncos posted on their facebook that we had signed a young exciting prop.

 

[MaroubraBroncos]

How refreshing will it hopefully be to see a player like this come off the bench instead of Stagg or lowry!!!

 

[Kimlo]

Very happy with this signing.

 

[Morkel]

Would have preferred Taupau, but I'll settle for Gavet... and being absolutely correct.

Welcome to the Broncos Mr Gavet, i hope you make the most of this opportunity to play under one of the games great coaches.

I think to myself; is this the end of Hala's role as impact forward from the bench now, considering Gavet appears to have more to his game than one or two barnstroming runs..?

If Bennett uses all four players on the bench each week it will be refreshing.

on the flipside...can you imagine the impact of having Gavet and a fit and firing Hala coming on after 20 mins !!

great signing. this guy has potential that hopefully will be unlocked in broncos jersey. i liked what i saw of him in 2013 for the tigers.

 

[jarro65]

We just have to keep him off the drink and he should be gold.

Just keep him close to Bennett and away from Alfie

Extremely happy with this signing. He is exactly what we need. Big, strong and aggressive. He plays with a lot of energy, high enthusiasm and a lot of mongrel. He brings that spark that we have lacked off the bench. I'm very excited to see him in action.

A player like this is generally a very good motivator for the rest of the team, especially when things are getting tough. A couple of big, strong runs, provides inspiration and the rest of the team generally lifts and seems to follow. You see it with the Warriors through Suaia Matagi. A couple of big runs of inspiration from him, and the rest of the big boppers follow.

The Tigers had a pretty decent start to the season (before the wheels eventually fell off), and a large part of that was Gavet coming off the bench. I personally prefer him over Taupau, purely because he is more aggressive and therefore more intimidating.

The Broncos haven't had an intimidating prop in very long time. We always seem to have the 'nice, friendly' guys who don't really intimidate anyone. Gavet was NSW cup prop of the year in 2011, however things didn't quite workout. His still very young, only 24, so his best years are ahead of him an Bennett will get the most out of him.

The prop rotation below looks very enticing:

McGuire
Kennedy (Playing with some venom)

Garbutt
Gavet

If need be, there's always the option of running with a third prop on the bench. Someone like a fitter Hala perhaps. If I was the opposition I would hate to be on the field if Gavet was on the field as well as Hala (when given clear instructions for just a few big runs)

 

[Unbreakable]

Our prop rotation could be one of the best in the NRL imo, if Bennett can get Kennedy playing like he did during his last year at the Roosters and Gavet, Garbutt, Ofahengaue, Hala all play to their potential.. lethal.

Don't forget Molo.
