No, his continued selection was a symptom of disease we need to cure.

For sure he's a "good" player. But you need to be "sensational" player to make my Broncos team.In the mail
But I guess I'm saying I think he is a good player too.

For sure, and ould be happy to replace him when we sign that sensational player.

You're missing the bit where he's already off contract. We don't need to replace him. We need to sign someone else.

Sure, but what options did we have?
Paix and Turpin
That Paix isn’t ready yet despite being in the system for years is a bigger crime here. Imagine being 22 and everyone’s already talking about your replacement (Moz). Something has gone wrong with development at hooker and I doubt it’s Paix’s problem. He needs and deserves a full pre season at hooker.
That Turps went backwards after his obviously better service than Macca is equally sad. Something has gone wrong with his development which is a shame given he’s had three years full time squad.
Billy was the only choice.

I keep saying the same thing over and over and getting this same response back.
We are now in the preseason. This is the time to make sure Billy is not the only choice next year. All along I've been talking about next season, but I keep getting this response about 2021. I know he was our only choice.
What I don't know is why that was the case and whether Kevvie wanted it that way. But I sure as **** know I don't want to see it being the case next season.

Sorry mate, there’s no way you can say that is a certainty. I actually think there is pretty high odds Billy would still get the utility role even with those players in the team.
Billy played every single game he was available for this season. Every other spine player who isn’t named Reynolds was dropped or not selected at least once this season - Billy, proud 4th place for most missed tackles in the NRL (most at the club) was somehow better than all of them, week in week out

My thing is, until we do sign someone else who's better (and I am sure we employ people who keep an eye out on who's available), there's a spot I my 30 for him.
Give him another year imo. Even if we sign a better 9 Billy is a good back up/utility option.

I actually thought Billy walters was really good last night. He's been that good at different parts of the year as well. I think if there's no other options give him a preseason at hooker and see what comes of it.

I don’t usually agree with Mchunt’s agendas but you’ve completely missed his point….BILLY WALTERS IS NOT A FKING BACKUP HALF BECAUSE HIS DAD IS THE COACH HE’S BEEN OUR ATARTING HOOKER ALL SEASON FFS. He’s not purely here as “back up” if he was, he’d be in cup where he belongs. We do have better players than him who have been out of the team because he’s been here, because his dad and uncle are in the coaching box picking him every week.
