SPOILER The Brisbane Broncos are winning the 2025 NRL Premiership

Idk it would be good for that to happen but I think us winning the prem relies most on Walsh, I don't think what he has shown is even close to his peak as he still early in his career.

Reece is a match winner on his day and will only improve but IMO Madge is the guy we rely on most to get us there to a premiership. If he’s doing his job and on his game the team will be up for it. Reece will be the cream on the top and rightly so.

Seemed like the game plan since Reece has been back has been give the ball to Reece which worked well in 23 but teams would just line him up in 24 when it was always the same shape, wasn't really a plan B.
Hoping Madge has some plans up his sleeve, which I think he will.

I'm probably more confident in Barrett coming up with the attacking shapes than Madge... I think Madge is all about defence and systems, which is great because that feels like something that has been missing for decades at this point.

There's evidence at this point that Barrett is competent at setting up attacking systems, so I think he should be able to work with the guys we've got there... tbh if our coaching staff can't get something out of a spine that includes Walsh, Reynolds, Bhunt and Ezra, then there are issues... not even taking into account the other weapons we have in Selwyn, Staggs and Mariner, as well as the forward momentum created from Haas, Patty and Willison.

There is plenty to work with across this roster, it's just about getting them to actually be able to do it.
