If the Broncos were to retire jerseys like in the NBA which players would you retire by a number. Here is my list.

1. Lockyer
2. Sailor
3. Renouf
4. Hodges
5. Hancock
6. Lewis
7. Langer
8. Webcke
9. Yet to be retired (maybe Berrigan? For 2006 heroics)
10. Lazarus
11. Thorn
12. Tallis
13. Parker

14. Yet to be retired (saved for utility, maybe Plath?)
15. Civoniceva
16. Yet to be retired (Forward)
17. Yet to be retired (Forward/Back)

Coach. Bennett

Thoughts?

Isn't the whole idea of retiring jersey's so that nobody else at the club can wear them? We gonna run out in jerseys 18-34 every week? 😂
 
Lockyer can have 6

Wally is held in too high regard imo

Yes he was crucial in foundation, but he never won a premiership

Berrigan for 14 maybe? I can’t recall anything about Plath but I think Berrigan has a huge amount of impact as a utility.
 
You can't retire Civo in a number he rarely wore. You can have two players retired in the same #. Retire #6 with Kevie as Wally was only briefly with the club. Tunza and Cozza can co retire at #13.
 
I'd only retire Locky, Langer and Webcke. So many legends from this club, but jersey retiring is for the elite.

The 1 or the 6 for Locky though? That's what has me scratching.

Definitely a big dilemma, Harry. Could go the 16 or 61 options :P.

But if I have to choose, gotta go the 6, I reckon.

Yow Yeh?

Scott Minto???????

definitely the 6 for a number of reasons:
  • It was his jersey when he retired
  • It was the jersey he wore when he became captain
  • IMO, he became a more complete player in the 6
  • It was the jersey he wore in 2006, our last premiership year and one of the finest years of his career
 
If we're talking about retiring jerseies, how about we start with the putrid one the team is made to run around in now. It's a blight on the landscape, a carbuncle on the face of our club. I hope the intern who designed it was let go during the staff cuts.

If we are talking elite of the elite, 11. Tallis also retires. Say what you will about his post-playing career, he was once in a generation as a player.
 
I think Langer is the only one deserving of that honor. Hancock usually wore 2 and Sailor 5, Tallis wore 11 and Thorn 12 and both Webke and Lazarus wore 8.
 
If you retire the jersey, does it retire the player too?

If so:
4. Boyd, and;
6. Milford.

Effective immediately.
