Pre-season

[I bleed Maroon]

The Broncos social media machine is in full effect. No doubt you've already seen at least one of the flood of photos coming out of pre-season training. A couple of notables I found:

Look at this and tell me Hunt isn't looking at least as ripped as McGuire:

Laying it all down

Here we see a winger who is bigger than a prop

 

[ningnangnong]

What is WB's body fat percentage? -50%?

 

[GCBRONCO]

Daniel Merrett has been brought in by Bennett to improve player's catching and kicking skills.

 

[Fozz]

He's not the ranga we need though.

 

[Super Freak]

Not bad at all.

 

[Sproj]

Have you seen him play afl? He is not a guy you want to be teaching any skills except how to be beaten repeatedly and constantly.

 

[Allo]

Makes sense considering the balls and techniques for kicking and catching are identical in both sports

 

[Super Freak]

Have you seen him play afl? He is not a guy you want to be teaching any skills except how to be beaten repeatedly and constantly.

He sure as shit is a better kicker than Hunt, though.

He can teach him a thing or two.

 

[Jason Simmons]

And a better catcher than we have had on our wings for years... Nice tacit acknowledgement of problems that have been there for years. Pity the club couldn't 'tacitly' acknowledge this years ago when it was raised with them repeatedly...

 

[Sproj]

Seriously, if you think Merrett can kick and catch better than our guys, watch some of his 'highlights', it'll change your mind.

 

[Porthoz]

If they were going to go with an ex-fumble ball player, they could at least have gone with someone whom can actually kick and catch, like Johnathan Brown.

Daniel Merrett... :shocked:

 

[M.B.88]

In almost every photo of benji I've seen he's having out with milford or always in close quarters with him. Awesome sign that he's taking him under his wing and making himself available for anything he needs. Really cool. I am finding I'm raspy respecting benji marshal through this transition he's going through

 

[Sproj]

Raspy respecting? Like in a mafia voice?

 

[Black Philip]

If they were going to go with an ex-fumble ball player, they could at least have gone with someone whom can actually kick and catch, like Johnathan Brown.

Good call on Johnathan Brown! I always thought he would have made an excellent back rower.

 

[Danoz Direct]

Payne Haas and Corey Allen were training with the first grade squad today.

 

[Kyall]

That's great news, I have read we are paying Haas decent coin.

 

[Foordy]

That's great news, I have read we are paying Haas decent coin.

Haas is only 16 ... he won't be able to play first grade next season ...

good experience for the kid though

 

[mitch222]

That's great news, I have read we are paying Haas decent coin.

don't think you can pay 16 years old big money as they aren't eligible for first grade.
