Official - Broncos sign Darius Boyd

[Socnorb]

Sounds like we are all back on that train @Harry Sack. What was that train again?

I'm pretty sure that was the rainbow express.

 

[Foordy]

I know it won't mean much to you Foordy but I really do like that mature outlook, especially the bolded bit.

I appreciate that mate.

even though i don't agree with some of the decisions made, they are all wearing the Broncos jersey in 2015, so they get my full support.

LETS GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An air of optimism returns to the Broncos HQ.......... Me Likey! To be honest i haven't been this excited for a season in a long time! Up the Bronx!

 

[GCBRONCO]

And that's fine Foordy you wouldn't be a fan if you just mindlessly agreed or disagreed with every decision the club and those involved have made over the years or now with Bennett back on board, I admire your perspective on Boyd too, you may disagree with his recruitment but at the end of the day if you want the club to succeed you want him to succeed, so why not get behind him and give him the opportunity to show exactly why he belongs there.

And rightly so, lots of work ahead for this side lets not kid ourselves but just as much room for improvement to give us a real sense of optimism we have lacked since Lockyer's retirement, far more exciting then the dismal empty shell of a Broncos side we experienced in 2012-2013.

It was something like the Super duper rainbow express of optimism. Pretty sure Morkel came up with it tbh

Like everyone it seems, I'm excited but the old man in me keeps my feet on the ground. Like most I hope we hit the ground running but I see the rebadged Broncos as a developing work. I'm hoping for but not expecting instant success. Every year a team bounces up and fades with the Gold Coast a great example. I know WB expects highs and lows and we could cop some unexpected downsides. What I do think though is even if we don't soar to great heights we will start to regain the respect lost in recent seasons. WB must create a team that any side playing us comes hoping for ,rather than expecting ,a win.

Much as I admire the man he rightfully should be open to respectful criticism.

Super duper rainbow expresses is something Morkel obviously enjoys taking part in on weekends. ;)

 

[bb_gun]

All aboard!!!

I haven't seen it come up on the CM website yet, just checked ...

but i suppose the right response it what the hell do we do now ... we let go of our 2 best fullback options (outside of Boyd).

unless Bennett is prepared to move Milf to the back

 

[Fozz]

Hodges at fullback for the full season? Oh oh.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Might we see kahu at the back?

I'd go with either: 1.milf/j.nikorima, 6. Milf/ Taylor/ j. Nikorima. I think we'd be better off with milf at the back and Taylor at 5/8, but you'd have to let j.nikorima press his cause.

Edit: we should get cap concessions for this, it's ridiculous that we lose 400k out of our car before the season begins.

Confirmed on courier mail Facebook page....****

 

[MaroubraBroncos]

Wow...............I'm hoping one of the young bloods gets a start!

 

[noisetheory]

if it turns out boyd is expected back mid season then i would keep milf in the halves.

someone else to play fb until boyd is back.

 

[Morkel]

I don't know why, but I find this absolutely hilarious. I should be really fucking pissed off, but the thought of all the Boyd & Bennett haters salivating is just too much.
