NEWS Pursuit over as Broncos finally get their man

[McHunt]

On a side note, what’s happening with segeyaro?

 

[Nepal Donkeys]

We'll still finish above them even if that happens. Their pack is shit. For the sake of argument, how the hell can they fit in four million dollar players (JT13, Morgan, Holmes, LM)?

EDIT: Croft is already better than Morgan as a HB (in terms of being an actual half back. Morgan is a running 5/8 if he has a dominant half like JT next to him otherwise he's a centre or maybe a full back. His run to the GF in '17 has proven to be a fluke if we look at the past two years) and the Cows are paying him a mil a season lmao. Imagine LM and Morgan in the halves and Holmes at FB, they'd be running around like headless chooks in attack. It'd be worse than the infamous Boyd/ Turpin pairing imo because at least the spine had Milf.

Ahh good these are my favourite topics - Michael Morgan is overrated, critiquing the Cowboys awful roster and questioning their cap management.

MM had that magical '17 run and never sniffed it since. The Cowboys paid him $1m and that deal is as bad as Milford's paycheque but it doesn't cop the flack because they don't cop the same scrutiny.

Their only good forward is Lolo. Mclean went up there to Hunt, McGuire has fallen off a cliff and is a terrible ruck defender, Gavin Cooper is a plodder, Coen Hess is a truly terrible player and the rest are worse.

They won't sign Latrell, that was just hyperbole from yours truly. But they have spent their money in the wrong places. And seemingly given up on Clifford, who could well be a very good NRL halfback (and better than B Croft...)

We’ve needed a genuine halfback for a long time and now we’re getting one. He may not be a superstar yet but this team doesn’t need it, we need role players to do the job. Without a halfback even getting a latrell or Holmes would mean jack shit to our results. So I’m not so much jizzing yet but I’m edging closer to a pre-cum.

Spare me that Croft is a genuine halfback. We don't just need a halfback, we need a good one. Brodie Croft is not a good one. But we will see.

 

[pagey]

I wish...

Lol , obviously haven't realized your mistake?

 

[Foordy]

Cowboys about to sign Latrell and Holmes and 90% of this forum are jizzing themselves over Brodie fucking Croft.

Oh how we have fallen

firstly, they won't get both, especially since they both want to play fullback. The Cowboys were using Mitchell to force Holmes' hand and as a backup plan in case their bid for Holmes failed.

secondly, it's about priorities ... they require strike in the backline, hence them chasing either Holmes or Mitchell ... while we require a genuine halfback, hence us chasing Croft

 

[McHunt]

Spare me that Croft is a genuine halfback. We don't just need a halfback, we need a good one. Brodie Croft is not a good one. But we will see.

Correct: he's a great one. And he's ours.

 

[FaithinHook]

Your constant criticism of Seibold and the club and promotion of Bennett no matter what either of them do, to the point where you are becoming a broken record.

In reality you are trolling, nothing more.
[automerge]1574560561[/automerge]


yeah, because we need a proper halfback more than anything else. A superstar fullback would be great, but it still won’t fix our halves problem.

Signing a genuine halfback just might...

Jason, I must step in here as I believe you are being more than a little unreasonable in your criticism of a well-respected BHQ member. In my many dealings with McHunt, I have found him to be a very fair, well-balanced and highly impartial and respectful subscriber in the vast majority of his postings.

I actually believe you may have confused him with another member possibly and an apology should be forthcoming to McHunt on your behalf.

 

[Foordy]

Correct: he's a great one. And he's ours.

I'm not sure i would go that far ... but:

he is a genuine halfback, who's skills are more suited to our team than the Storm's. he's also coming on a reasonable contract (both $ wise and length).

 

[mrslong]

I don't rate Croft highly, but I rate him above turpin and darbs in the halves.
This will do for now.

I’m happy with the signing, think Croft is capable of adding something we sorely miss.

But let’s also be honest, this guy would be better than Boyd and Turpin in the halves.

 

[Nepal Donkeys]

Yeah, nah

 

[FaithinHook]

Yeah, nah

Thank you for that fascinating insight and well thought-out response son.

 

[jarro65]

If Croft can be the key to unlocking Milfords attacking game then i am seriously happy we have signed him.

Thanks for the compliments, though I actually don't mind being called a troll. It's like being given the benefit of the doubt for what is in reality having a batshit crazy opinion.

While, we're dishing out defence, I think @broncsgoat is entitled to his steadfast opinion on Bennett vs Seibold. Which to be frank, stands up better to scrutiny than the rest of our vacillating views. I don't think anyone on this forum is convinced by Seibs yet. The best we've got is giving him the benefit of the doubt. Pretty sure there are plenty of Souths fans who are right on board the Bennett train already, despite a less than convincing first season. Advantage Bennett.

You just destroyed your argument, most of them are bat shit crazy.

Good example of a troll. Excellent work.

??? By saying south's supporters are crazy?? Mate you need to get your troll alert checked, the calibration is out.

Ah, I thought you were talking about my opinions. Missed the highlight. Never mind...
