Can we just take a moment to thank Josh rogers for what he has done the last few weeks.
Im guessing I wasnt the only one thinking "he's in the squad because he signed a contract with walters, he wont get a run this year"..
But bloody hell has he been more than serviceable. He's our smoothy of 26.
Madge is honestly doing a remarkable job. He's grown at his job since souffs/tigers and he was already a great one there in hindsight.
Shibasaki, talty, smoothy, Karipani have all come from last chance saloon/squad-filler roles to 1st graders, and gun 1st graders at that! P riki, perham and rogers look to be doing the same this year.
J Riki, willison, b walters, staggs, mariner, Walsh, piakura have all improved dramatically as well. Duffy looks to have improved but small sample size. And its not as if the players I havent named have been bad, everyone bar arthurs, b hunt (age), reynolds (age) and mozer (injuries/opportunities) have become better or more rounded nrl players. Maybe carrigan too, but I think thats because we just expect more of him now so it appears he hasnt improved.
Incredible coaching. Huge selling point to depth players. "Hey we cant offer you overs but come to the broncos on 1-2 year deal and your entire career can change, just look at (example a, b, c, d, etc".... "sure!"
