Player Movements and Rumours 2011

[m1c]

He's a good player no doubt and would be starting at some other clubs. Wanting it all yesterday seems to be a feature of Gen Y often to their detriment. The majority seem to lack the foresight to realise they'll be better players in the long term if they trust the development path older and wiser heads have set them. Dave Taylor and Ben Barba are two notable examples who kicked up huge stinks behind the scenes only to publicly appreciate their staggered development with hindsights benefit.

Update on the progress of resigning Hodges, as well as the possibility of Boyd coming back home.

 

[Mister Wright]

It would be ridiculous if we did not resign Hodges. He must be the next signing we make.

Agreed, we need to lock up what we have including the young guns. We don't need another fullback/winger - unless Hook would see Boyd as a 5/8?

 

[Raw Boned Youngster]

If he sees Boyd as a 5/8, he must have some great set plays up his sleeve.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Very doubtful of Boyd coming back IMO. Norman will be our 6 next season IMO.

Yep. And Ben Hunt will replace Matt Orford as halfback at Canberra.

Canberra would be wasting their money.

Cronulla, Warriors, Penrith, Souths or Parramatta on the other hand...

 

[Mister Wright]

If the Broncos are to let Hunt go it seems a waste to have him on the bench. They obviously have plans for him in the future otherwise they wouldn't be giving him game time.

I like Hunt I just feel Norman is suited to the 6 and Hunt is more of a hooker/half

 

[Kimlo]

Agree with Beads.

 

[Coxy]

The way the Broncos play it doesn't really matter if you're 6 or 7. Either attack left or right.

Will come down to who out of Norman and Hunt is more comfortable on the right side to replace Locky.

Well considering they've re-signed Sam Williams for a couple more years I doubt that will happen

 

[Pigskin]

Anderson - Toodles ! ... better than Carlaw and Tronc ... I'd rather keep Kenny
Hunt - Toodles ... don't care
Norman - #6 straight up next year is a good thing

We need to buy a hooker ... stop spending money on outside backs ... McCullough is rubbish and although you guys here like Baptiste - how far off being ready is he ?

priority #1 = buy a hooker

Oink !

I agree with McCullough being crap. He's way underperforming. Looked promising when he first started but just hasn't developed. He really lets our team down sometimes. Hopefully I have to eat my words and he gets better but from what he's showed this year we could do much better

 

[Bucking Beads]

We need a real hooker big time, I have no time for Macca at the moment. I have had a gutful of the ball being knocked out of his hand from dummy half.

fair call but I see Norman as being better on the right and much more similar to Lockyer

He's certainly the better runner out of Hunt and Norman. Not sure his passing or kicking games are anywhere near as good as Hunt though.

And defensively, Hunt would be better.

But really comparisons are pointless at this stage of their respective careers.
