Travis Meyn enlists Darren Lockyer to bring us down with a thud in today's Courier Mail:
But first Darren from Red Hill weighs in on the Jack Bird v Jamayne Isaako duel at the back:
“Jack is a footballer – he is very instinctive and knows where to be defensively and with the footy. From a fullback perspective, that is a good asset. It’s a challenge for him but he is enjoying it. Speaking from experience playing fullback, you’re a lot more involved. You can go anywhere you want on the field. Jack’s been a bit frustrated through his injuries but I think he’s got an opportunity and he will enjoy it. He’s been hampered by his injuries and body but he’s probably the fittest he’s been since he’s been at the Broncos. Jack has probably been honest with Seibs. He is predominantly a right-side centre and Kotoni (Staggs) has been doing a very good job there. You’d have to ask Seibs how the conversation went but they’ve decided to give it a go and it looks like he’ll start the season in the No.1 jersey.”
“Jamayne is probably a little bit down on form, he knows that. There’s a number of players fighting for a position, that’s not a bad thing. It’s up to Jamayne to keep working hard and fight for his spot back.”
Then dashes our hopes and dreams when asked if the Broncos can make the top four:
“No, I don’t think so. We finished eighth last year. We want to be improving, but while top four is an ambition internally, the guys right now just need to focus on playing well each week and see where that takes them. There are no excuses really. They’ve had limited disruptions in the off-season. There’s been a couple of injuries to senior players, but Brodie Croft has come to the club and is an organising halfback which the team was in need of. There’s no reason why they can’t be improving this year.”
Worst pre-season ever.
