I still think the likes of Carrigan and Flegler need a spell away from the NRL just to stop them getting burned out. I really do think we are handling some of these younger blokes poorly, but in a few positions we don't have any depth to rest them

Which is why I thought we signed Fensom.. Evidently we have no plans to even use him, he's playing 80 odd minutes a game and making a million tackles in ISC, feel like we could use that experience and reliability in first grade. Although with him and McCullough in the side we'd probably have the slowest and least exciting middle 3rd in NRL history.
 
If that's the way they run out, it feels like a step backwards. I get Macca is useless off the bench, but I think that begs for movement down the pecking order, not up.

Good to see Offa and Haas back, I guess...
 
Maccas starting I think...Turps to bench..!!!!!! Also its not yet June 30..Isaakos head been turned by another club maybe..?
 
This might be good for Turpin.

I would be fucking livid if I was demoted over Macca and determined to get the spot back over him. Let's see how he responds.

Bit of a kick up the ass.
 
I think Macca needs a chance to start and fail. Maybe a couple of weeks. Then he can be dropped right out of the side for Seggy. We will see.

Boyd can't be dropped this season. He should get the C removed in the off-season and if not demoted right out of the side placed on a wing.

I hope the boys play well. I will tip them as always but my mind tells me this side is not up to it at this stage. Needs an overhaul and has done for a long while.

The more i think about it the more i am angered that the board and Wayne never capitalized on our 2015 season and actually got involved in the market more. We really only got one solid firstgrader with youth on his side in Bird. Have we actually got any exciting signings since Milf.

Really weird signing when you look at it.
 
Well there goes our season as Seibs is unable to make the hard decisions. I have a work colleague that knows Seibs when he was his maths teacher at school. I asked him if he tough but fair on the students. His reply - “Not really, too much of a pushover and doesn’t really like the tough decisions.”

Case in point. I hate myself but I’m going tip against us as I’m only 2 points away from the real prize - winner of the BroncosHQ tipping comp for 2019.

Ha ha. I am sort of. Good player development needs the coach to know when the younger, less experienced guys may need pulling out of the firing line, especially in a poor performing side so they dont dent their confidence or get burned out. Patty, Flegler and Staggs for me are falling into that bracket. Problem is, we dont have that 24/25 year old squad player to come in and replace them.
 
Another thing I don’t like is TPJ at 13. He plays better off the bench as an impact player. I’m afraid Seibs is turning him into a Moose 2.0.
