Life After Broncos

[Bronco]

Biggest mistake Broncos made was signing Prince! Should have kept Norman at the 5/8, (he didn't do a bad job last year) besides Hoffmann was having a blinder at the fullback role, as he is on the wing this year we need to sign less forwards and halves, with Wallace & Prince leaving, I'd go all out for Cherry Evans and potentially Smith, Smith can play the 5/8 role but it'd be silly to pull him out the 9 jersey, McCullogh's got a big future, the last thing we want to do is become a team where we're buying players rather than growing them in our own backyard! & we don't want to let go of players aswell, because no one really finds success after they leave Broncos; example..

- Dave Taylor
- Brett Seymour
- Antonio Winterstein
- Darius Boyd (Debatable because Bennett the Great's still pulling him around)
- Gerald Beale
- Ben Te'o (Debatable again, only because he has a good supporting cast at souths, still no where as good as what he was at Broncos)
- Shaun Berrigan

Agree with some of them but IMO Boyd is a far better play now then he ever was at the Broncos. Neville Costigan was ok at the Broncos but not as good as he was a few years ago. Scott Prince is a perfect example. His time at the Broncos was plagued with injury but at the Tigers he was great and won a comp.

Leroy Lahs was ok with the Broncos also but definitely played his best footy at the Raiders a few years ago.

Boyd doesn't run sideways hence he's a better player now

I'd say Taylor improved for a while too. Winterstein definitely improved at the Cowboys.

 

[Big Pete]

Trevor Gillmeister, Chris McKenna, Justin Hodges, Glenn Lazarus, Scott Prince, Luke Priddis, Michael Ennis, Ben Hannant, Darius Boyd, Brad Thorn, Berrick Barnes, Dave Taylor etc. say differently

Although with the latter I believe he settled into a comfort zone. 2009 was his best form for my money. Now he's just a flat track bully.

greg eastwood certainly didnt live up to wraps

Israel Falou is doing okay.

 

[Dexter]

Reece Robinson improved out of sight.

Hoffman wasnt killing it at fullback last year. In fact he was stinking up the joint.

Also, we want to get OUT of the mentality of growing all our players, not into it more.

Tom Lehroyd-Lahrs was epic for the Raiders for a couple of years.

Really? I think he is playing seriously well with the Dogs.

Hoffman was doing a pretty good job, better than what Norman was, I don't think buying in players and becoming a team like Parramatta, buy Chrissy Sandow & Reni and they don't perform because they're on the big $$$
