NEWS Glenn out for at least a month

[McHunt]

It’s an interesting question, it would provide some much needed good news and hype but could also throw him to the wolves and do we need another kid in the team?

Someone has to be in the running for Rookie of the Year. The favourite bolted across the Tasman before we even gave him a game.

 

[Dazza 92]

sorry....Alex who...???......never heard of him...?

No idea why Jake went from 80 to 41 minutes overnight. Surely giving Jake 60 minutes with a break in the middle would been a good way to introduce Levi. Ah well, I’ll pencil it down to one of Kev’s genius decisions that I’m too dumb to understand.

If Kevvie sets up a tactical wing substitution next game we are all fucked.

 

[BroncsFan]

Time to bring Brendan in?

I'd say Riki and TPJ in the back row with Bullemor the 2nd row/middle on the bench.

Piakura is signed for the next 3yrs... we can leave him in ISC to develop. When he's killing it in ISC then he can come into the team.

I think TPJ leaves at the end of next year anyway, which means the 2nd row spot will be wide open in 2022/23 for Piakura to come in.

I don't want TPJ to leave, but there's every chance he moves on unless broncos can turn this shit show around in 12 months

I'd be hopeful of retaining TPJ. I'd like us to go early if we want him because you can just imagine the circus a guy like him is going to create if he's allowed to test the market.

Just wait until Milf returns at fullback and Isaako plays 6.

Am I mistaken or was it Parker that said Brendan is NRL ready?

If he's ready he's ready IMO, but I do see the sense in leaving him in ISC this year.

He might be ready like Coates, Dearden, Flegler and Carrigan are though, as in they aren't.

 

[Fernando]

Yeah he might be ready for a normal NRL side where some NRL standard players around can help him out but it's more likely to end with him in literal tears at fulltime with Brisbane

Yeah, the fact he is locked up for 3 years makes me lean to keeping away from the current first grade disaster of a team in 2021.

I can't see any benefit to exposing him to 30 point losses. Have him ready to start strong in 2022.

I'd also like to see Riki playing ISC...

If by some miracle this team starts pointing in the right direction and is competitive later in the year, bring him in but in the more likely event they stay as headless chickens, then keeping him out of the side is far better for his development.

 

[ZTop]

In that video of kempy reacting to him, there are some seriously good points about developing him. As he is so physical and aggressive he needs time to develop into a big body and get ready for the physical demands of the nrl otherwise his body will be stuffed if it's not ready and won't keep up

 

[BroncosFever]

I know Glenn does nothing amazing these days but he makes tackles and runs hard at least, Riki is still a young kid and can't get a solid 80.
