Even in the Queensland Cup you've got Patrick Kaufusi, Brendan Frei, Temone Power, Kalani Going, Hayden Schwass etc.
Keep in mind too, Putt is a 175cm edge forward with suspect defence and poor discipline. I don't see any upside, a solid Qld Cup player who works in Smith's system but not exactly somebody that you bring into an NRL system.
Especially with a view of only having him here for 12 months. It took Olam years and he stood out a lot more than Putt has.
I don't mind the Grant suggestion because he is a stand-out and he's somebody who should be in an NRL system. If Covid didn't happen, he most likely would have picked up a deal somewhere and been a really handy player to have had off the bench.
The Broncos do need to be careful with the amount of Queensland Cup players they sign. Yes, Melbourne have had some tremendous success but they've had 18 seasons to get that system in place and get the balance right. The Broncos completely destroyed that balance under their old regime and they need to prioritise a few NRL signings.
Otherwise it just ends up becoming a Newcastle 2016 situation where Brown recruited reserve grade players and got reserve grade performances.
