He signed as a 12 yo and was in our system till his Titans move
He is an ex-Bronco, regardless of not playing much first grade

He's like the anakin skywalker of the broncos. After we obi wan kenobi his ass on Sunday he'll be a crawling fireball that hates us.
I am concerned as to his attitude. He doesn’t seem modest at all. For a bloke who has achieved piss all, he has plenty to be modest about.

Really?
They are good players, but are they our two most important players? I think not. We didn't really miss Oates a great deal during that period he was injured last year.
TPJ has had a couple of good games in the front row, but let's not go overboard. The other forwards stepped up in his absence and we really didn't feel his loss that much.
What we lose from Oates is the kick returns, but Bird can cover for that.

Currently I think so. TPJ due to current form and because our younger forwars aren't ready to fill that gap, we don't have much aggression in the pack outside of TPJ despite only playing 3 games. And Oates is still an origin level player, if we didn't lose kahu as well I wouldn't think he was a great loss but Pearson doesn't have a high work ethic on the field

In regards to Pearson, I haven't been his biggest fan but all the young fellas that have been given a chance so far this year have taken it with both hands I wouldn't be surprised if he has a blinder. He's been in the system a while now with not many genuine shots at first grade he's got to be thinking it's now or never.

I don’t get the Taylor hype...
Watching Matty Johns et al declare that he’ll be the best player in the league in a few years time boogles me

Maybe if he had followed the right steps in his progression and development rather than taking a short cut to a million dollars he could become something great. But I don't think the titans nor his attitude will get him there.

I don’t listen to anything the John brothers talk about. The only thing they have knowledge of is drug use.

Short cut to a million dollars? Lol. Any player would take that cash.

Does that Macca will play the remainder of the season with one hand?

Yep you heard right. He took a short cut to the riches. Yeah I know people will always say who wouldn't take the money which is completely correct. But if you look a little deeper and beyond the superficial you'll realise he didn't earn it nor did he deserve it at his current level and skill set. And now that he's "made it" will he push himself and have the motivation to reach Thurston status? That's what is the true question to be answered.
