After listening to the Ikin interview yesterday I was picturing us getting back to our powerhouse selves and the point where if you're a junior and you leave then that's it for you.He really fails the no dickhead policy though, so I can't see it happening.
Seriously imagine if we still had Fifita/Walsh.
Why don't Melbourne lose their star juniors, FFS. Only us and the Tigers, every star junior hyped and poached before we get any value.
Look at Fifita... he doesn't look happy at the titans and apparently they're trying to move him on anyway, broncos have put up the no vacancy sign to him and Uncle Wayne has already spent half his cap on forwards so further investment for a $700k forward may not be viable.
He could effectively be out in the wilderness when it comes to staying in SEQ and possibly looking at a move to Sydney, which he didn't want to do only 2yr ago.
Walsh is looking burnt out after 18 months in first grade and is required to carry a hopeless warriors side, and soon he'll be relocating to NZ.
I want Walsh back at the broncos, but we may have already moved on to Cobbo, Ezra, Mozer, Gray, etc. and that's where we put our focus as an organisation, instead of going back to an ex.
If Ikin can get this broncos ship turned around and get our production line correct moving forward it could become a one and done for juniors, where you bide your time and earn the jersey... but if you up and head off, then that's it as far as representing the broncos because we've already moved onto the next.
