VOTE Who do you want as the next Brisbane Broncos coach?

McGuire will still have to find a couple of backrowers or improve on what we have.
I haven't given up on Hunt, IMO he has some upside. Gozalphabet not so much but happy to be surprised.
Same with Madden, big off season, some proper structure and a new coaching staff could work wonders.
I thought his last game against Penrith was one of his best until he got injured.
I'm expecting some turn over after Nov 1.
You never know who Madge could encourage to the club.

I think Madge's philosophy is defence first, so any positions that are in doubt will probably go to who he thinks is the best defender first... especially early on.

If he comes in second row will be the big position to watch... does he think he can coach Piaks to be a better defender or will he see someone like Gos as a better defender and go with him and chuck Piaks on the bench or qcup until his defence is up to scratch.

A decision like that would be hugely polarising across the fanbase and media... there's a perception that Piaks is on the verge of origin so if he is then dropped back for someone like Gos... and then if we are losing games early on ... the pitchforks will be out early.

I think the incumbents will get first crack providing their preseason is what is expected.
We have a few things to improve fitness and D being most important.

I saw this post and was wondering what type of players Madge might go after, but also wanted to have a look at the tigers and see what sort of players he brought in / let go and how his gameday squad typically lined up... also have a look at what kind of cattle he was dealing with.

He was there from Round 1 2019 (post-Cleary) to Round 12 2022... so was right in the middle of that transition to Vlando ball... a general idea of his typical 17 over those 3.5yr is below.

Looking at that list players like Eisenhuth (2024), Tuilagi (2025), Aloiai (2025), Chee-Kam (2024) and Seyfarth (2025) might be ones he could look to bring in... some off contract in 2024, but others are free agents as of Nov 1.

I think guys like Mikaele and Garner would've definitely been on his list of targets, but they've just re-signed in the last few months. Mikaele was his second most used player behind Luke Brooks.

Someone like Hastings might also be on his radar given he actively recruited him at tigers and he's on the outer at knights, but Hastings might head back to ESL.

Typical 17:
1. Dane Laurie
2. Nofa
3. Doueihi / BJ Leilua / Jimmy Roberts
4. Esan Marsters / Tommy Talau
5. Tommy Talau / Maumalo
6. Benji / Doueihi / Moses
7. Brooks / Hastings
8. Tamou
9. Harry / Liddle / Simpkin
10. Aloiai / Twal
11. Luciano
12. Garner / Tuilagi
13. Eisenhuth / Twal / Offa

14. Elijah Taylor / Moses / Peach
15. Twal
16. Mikaele / Uto
17. Chee-Kam / Blore / Seyfarth / Tuilagi
