Should the Broncos make a play for Ponga

[Timmyj73]

Ponga should the Broncos make a play for him for season 2021/22

 

[007]

No,

Next

 

[Xzei]

If the reported 6 million 4 year deal is accurate no.

 

[john1420]

not worth anywhere that, despite what Kent says

 

[broncos4life]

Nope.

 

[Sproj]

Yes, absolutely. This side near an out and out star, he is one and will be one of the absolute best in a year or two.

Every elite side has an absolute gun (or two) in their spine:

Roosters - Keary, Tedesco, Cronk, Friend
Storm - Smith, Munster
Rabbits - Walker, Cook, Reynolds
Sea Eagles - DCE, TTurbo
Raiders - Hodgson

These are the sides that can win it this year. Who do the Broncos have? Milford?

 

[Dexter]

Not at 1.5 mill .

 

[theshed]

Maybe but we also need a half and he would have to replace Milford. So it would be a somewhat sideward step.

I have no doubt that if we had a spine with Ponga and Pearce instead of Milford this season we would be doing far better.

But I love Milf and think we would be doing far better if he had someone like Pearce controlling the game.

 

[broncsgoat]

I'd love Ponga but someone like Holmes would probably be more realistic/affordable. Would allow Milf back to 6 and provide a genuine threat at the back.

 

[Waynesaurus]

Paying $1.5M a season for one player is salary cap suicide.

 

[Socnorb]

Yes, absolutely. This side near an out and out star, he is one and will be one of the absolute best in a year or two.

One forward, Hass

One forward, Hass

You know, I was thinking this morning, for the first time I can ever remember, I don't think Brisbane right now would have a single Australian rep player.

I agree with that, Cripes , when was the last time that happened, never. Hass will get there you'd think, and probably Fifita as well. I guess we all thought Milford would be it for us, sadly no.

I was just thinking, would the Broncs even have a NZ rep? Man, this side is bad.

 

[Dazza 92]

one of the next great fullbacks is up for a new contract...Turbo Tom...

Maybe we should watch and see exactly what the market rate for him ends up being before deciding on a campaign (and it would be a campaign) to convince Ponga to join...

and what that would cost...

 

[Nashy]

I'd love Ponga but someone like Holmes would probably be more realistic/affordable. Would allow Milf back to 6 and provide a genuine threat at the back.

Hasn't Milf proved he's a 1 and not a 6 yet?

 

[broncsgoat]

Hasn't Milf proved he's a 1 and not a 6 yet?

All he's really proven is he's a better 1 than Boyd.

 

[Nashy]

All he's really proven is he's a better 1 than Boyd.

Oh, well I see a player who's actually comfortable with the number on his back, knows what he has to do, and also knows how to do it. I think he's shown more promise back there than we have ever seen from him in the halves. Hell, watching him there, it really feels like we have wasted 4 years of his career to keep a useless prick happy.
