[QUOTE="Allo, post: 3435882, member: 8190"] With the 2022 competition starting this week, I figure it's now or never to do an off-season wrap-up and team thoughts As is the nature of the competition running for only ~6 weeks, there's been plenty of player movement that seems relatively arbitrary. Hopefully starting next season we can start signing players to multi-year deals now we're using a money cap as well to try and have some idea of a future team going forward 2022 Squad: Tarryn Aiken Emily Bass Ali Brigginshaw Jaime Chapman Shenae Ciesiolka Brianna Clark Jada Ferguson Jasmine Fogavini Lavinia Gould Amber Hall Tallisha Harden Sophie Holyman Hannah Larsson Chelsea Lenarduzzi Hayley Maddick Nita Maynard Annetta Nu'uausala Paige Parker Kaitlyn Phillips Julia Robinson Sara Sautia Crystal Tamarua Shakiah Tungai Amy Turner Development Players: Jacinta Carter Jayde Herdegan Ellie Williamson In my opinion this season, despite its brevity and on the premise most players sign on for next season ad beyond, could still signal the changing of the guard for a few remaining veterans Ali looked like the game speed had moved past her earlier this year - outside of her game at Suncorp vs Parra, she telegraphed everything and the play broke down almost every time. They say to never write off a champion, but I worry if she can't rediscover her top form that she'll continue to handbrake the side, which is concerning as she says she wants to play for another few years. I've floated her moving to lock to allow Ferguson to play halves, as we did that with Raecene McGregor when she was here. I'd like to see Ferguson get more game time at half to continue her development, and to take advantage of her club combinations with Aiken and Chapman. She was the only player that did anything in the U19s* Origin and if we keep her on the bench (if at all) we may risk losing her with the 4 new clubs coming in next year, despite the family connection to Ciesiolka - they're cousins Forward pack is interesting with the losses of Boyle (Knights), Brown and Murdoch (Titans), but in return we've gained Brianna Clark, Crystal Tamarua, Annetta Nu'uausala and Nita Maynard at hooker. We also signed QLD U19s captain Hannah Larsson who may end up starting at lock by season's end, probably split with Sautia who was serviceable but ran out of steam by the end of the season. Gould should only be used as reserve hooker, no more lock forward please. Clark, Hall, Nu'uausala and Lenarduzzi is still a top tier prop rotation, all origin or NZ reps - it's just up to Kelvin to use them correctly, which I still believe was one of the reasons we lost that semi to the Roosters Back row is Phillips, Harden and Tamarua, Sautia and possibly Fogavini who moved there for BMD this year. Phillips surprised me and ended up being a big focal point in attack with her line-running, so very happy for her to continue. Harden continues to be a bit hit an miss with how effective she is, and I hope we can find an all-round better player Backs lose Upton of course, which is huge, but I won't sleep over mercenaries who'll likely end up at NQ next season anyway. We gain Chapman, who I think can play fullback? Otherwise I hope it's Robbo at the back, or maybe even Shakiah Tungai - anyone but Maddick. I don't want to be mean, but Maddick just doesn't have the physicality to play anywhere except for maybe wing, and it's a big maybe. I'm scared as she's the only listed fullback on the Broncos site in the updated profiles Along with Chapman is the aforementioned Tungai, Paige Parker, Jasmine Fogavini and Sophie Holyman. With Bass, Turner, Ciesiolka and Robbo still our likely first choice backline, I'm not sure how or where these players fit in outside of what happens with fullback, but it's great depth. The last two signings are forwards despite what their profiles say Meg Ward also returns to the assistant coaching ranks also. I hope Kelvin makes some bold calls this season if we see wheels coming off early, again despite the short season, because otherwise we're protecting legacy over the club and young players' development First Team List Tuesday this afternoon.
