You play where you’re needed to, if he can’t take it he gets shipped out.

In at least one interview he said he re-signed for one year to try for the fullback position next year. The club promised him he’d get time there in the off season. Here is one report:
Trouble brewing at Broncos after Walsh signing; Freddy can still correct his mistake - McKINNON

Then Kevvie publicly reneged after signing Walsh, just like he baited and switched Kotoni on 6.

The Broncos have added Reece Walsh to their squad for 2023.

Do you have any reports that contain quotes from Herbie?

I agree ... and I'm Herbies biggest fan
There is absolutely nothing to suggest Herbie won't spend some time at the back in the pre-season
Kevvie never guaranteed Staggs the 5/8 spot this year.
In fact quite the opposite, all the talk (from both Kevvie and Staggs) was that Staggs was a centre and they may consider a switch in the pre-season. most of the talk about him moving to 6 came from the media.

I definitely remember him mentioning it in an interview, but can't find the video. The report below has some quotes from him saying that's his intention.
Farnworth eyeing switch to fullback in 2023
Brisbane Broncos centre Herbie Farnworth has been in the best form of his career this season and was recently rewarded for his efforts by securing his place at the Broncos in 2023

Yes, for sure, but it's likely Herbie is one of the disillusioned/disgruntled and if he doesn't seek a release, few of us are expecting he remains beyond 2023.
Herbie has reiterated his claim on the fullback position since the Walsh signing and shrugged it all off as healthy competition. I am sure he's pissed off though. He made some very public statements about wanting the position, being promised he'd be trialled there, and then had it dismissed. Even Lockyer weighed in:
I wonder if Kotoni's funk at the beginning of the season and post Origin has anything to do with him being overlooked at 6? His name was never, and still is never, mentioned in spine discussions, and even the coach's mediocre son, the butt of jokes, was preferred over him.

I don`t see a problem .
If he trains there in pre season and does better than Reece , Tesi and Selwyn he deserves it .
I don`t think you give a guy a position just because he says he likes the idea .
The previous 2 of the 3 have Q Cup and NRL experience . Selwyn was a star at Wynnum as #1 a year ago .
I`m afraid you are gonna have to prove you are worth FB money Herb .

No, dumbass, his father promised the position to Kotoni as a sweetener, then gifted it to his son even after he dudded two trials in that position. Kotoni's name wasn't even raised as a candidate in the preseason. The club made a bit of a fool of him, I thought. Whether he saw it that way he never let on.
Let's be real. Walsh is fullback next season. If Herbie stayed to get a chance at playing fullback - which is the reason he gave in interviews - his reason to stay has been stomped all over. Maybe he'll stay anyway, but we now have two centres who've been thrown these sops, plus another long term centre who's queued right behind Herbie.

No , I don`t think that Walsh has automatic selection as #1 .
That could ruin the kid .Not having to compete for the position is a hiway to mediocrity .
He is in a 4 way shoot out .Back 5 get injured the most in NRL . Back ups are needed .

Great, another preseason of the bachelor while the coaching staff dither about which of 4 players will be a selected in a crucial position. Last year was 5/8 and this year is fullback apparently.

OK !
Herbie is FB then . The other kids can go soothe their egos . LOL .
I`d imagine that FBs would do a slightly different gym and running training regime than a centre .
A little less anaerobic and more aerobic gym work and lots more cardio and distance of running per week .
So then it comes down to planning . How many full backs do the squad need ?
Because their training and diet will need to be modified compared to players in other positions .
To much FB training might weaken other areas needed to play centre .
Conundrum ?
