Our new halfback should be

[Scorchie]

The Taylor option unfortunately died the moment we signed Bird. You can't have Boyd, Bird, Milford and Taylor on the same sheet sadly.

Bird isn't moving away from family, friends and interstate to play the same position he's currently playing.

RIP.

 

[Foordy]

Bennett doesn't pay overs for backs let alone a million for 1. I think he will be playing Fb and Boyd to 5/8 or Bird at 5/8.

He isn't paying a million for Bird

I don't think the issue for Bird is that he is playing at centre. I think the issue is that Sharks favour their left side a lot more than the right and Bird doesn't get his hands on the ball as much as he wants to.

He could play centre here and play the way he wants to. I wouldn't be surprised to see him play a similar role to Hodgo when he would be given the freedom to roam and link up with the halves in the middle of the field.

The deal wasn't for a million, media beat up . More like $750 k . My tip is center and probably arrow at lock

 

[Morkel]

I definitely think Nikorima has earned a shot at the long term halves role. I still have reservations about his defence but he's been better than I expected in that department.

If Bennett rates him as at least a possibility, he'll plant him in Q-Cup as an 80 minute half. I hope he does.

Exactly right!

 

[Danoz Direct]

Exactly right!

Where would you play Bird Joe?

Hunt to be utility off bench upon return. Imagine that.

 

[Alec]

Hunt was hitting good form prior to his injury, and is our chief organiser. He has to be in the halves, doesn't he?

 

[Super Freak]

Broncos want someone with good game management and kicking to partner Milford.

Nek minit, choose Kodi to replace Hunt.

Makes sense.

 

[Allo]

They say a 1 year deal likely ie everyone else has been signed for next year and he's locked in unless we can snag a release of a Taylor for example

Tbf.. Kodi has been playing some nice football

 

[Super Freak]

As a running half.

In those other departments, he has been worse than Hunt.

 

[Organix]

Yarp. As his confidence grows he will only get better. Maybe a little more strength in defence and more decisiveness in attack. But his short kicking game is lovely and he has excellent pass selection and deception already. I'd be happy to keep him on. He's working hard and seems like the kind of kid who will aim to please Wayne.

 

[Super Freak]

If this is the Broncos biding time for Taylor then it's very disappointing that they are taking such a gamble.

A gamble that won't pay off.

We had opportunities to sign the perfect half for Milford. A half the Broncos have been looking for.

 

[mitch222]

I'm happy Kodi is getting a chance
He is ticking all the right boxes at the moment and deserves and chance to nail down a spot in the 17

 

[Kyall]

The only thing really concerning me is his defence he is only small compared to other halves
