2014 Broncos Team

[Coz87]

I hope Wallace stays. May not have the talant but I would rather someone who trys every game then some overpaid player who only turns up when he wants. Ie benji, hayne and a few others. One guy I wish didn't bleed green campo would have loved to see him in our jersey.

The 2014 team will basically be a slightly poorer version of the 2013 team. There's clearly no faith in Hunt to play in the halves, in all honesty it will be 6 Prince 7 Wallace again. If one is out I'll bet Gillett will move to 6. Hoffman will probably be fullback, lets face it though, the last time he played fullback he was very disappointing.
The forwards will be much the same, in fact I can't see us lining up any differently. Sam will continue on at prop and McGuire will continue to be under utilised.

I don't even want to think about. Don't really have any boom youngsters who will got thrown in next year. Our young halves are still years away.

 

[unbreaK]

1) Jordan Kahu/Kevin Locke/Nathan Gardner depending on how Kahu goes rest of this year
2) Josh Hoffman
3) Jharal Yow Yeh
4) Justin Hodges
5) Bulldogs will be close to cap, put in an offer for either Jon Sila or Drury Low (Was begging for Kevin Naiqama here..)

Jack Reed and Dale Copley would both be better options than Bulldogs scraps. We've gotta remember Dale is only 22, he has the size and the speed to be anything, he just needs some confidence and luck with injuries.

Copley definitely was showing some good improvement towards the end of last year.

 

[Chainshada]

Wow..completely forgot about Copley..yeah put him in 5.

Any side with Wallace at 7 next year...dead set he is just so average! To think we said no to Albert Kelly makes me ill to say the least, not to mention Dugan.

 

[AceAv]

f**k I'm glad theirs no Dugan.

He's like the devil on a footballers shoulder. Fergo only has himself to blame. But Dugz just breeds binge drinking cronic mayhem trouble and I could just see hodges or mguire get into a nightclub brawl after a night on the piss with J.Bogan...

I disagree also that next year will be worse.

I think we will see a good reshuffle and I hope to GOD prince retires. If he doesn't I only want to see his worse game be what we saw last sunday. Up until the shitty pass (which was a certain try if he just threw it sharper) I thought he played pretty well. Got tested on defense a bit and did enough to stop them. But if we can get a decent full back who can chime in brilliantly and bust the line + save crucial tries as well as beef up our forwards, put Sammy back to 12 I think we can lay the platform for a big 2015...

 

[lockyno1]

So you would rather us have no fullback? Interesting. I usually take the view that I want the best players playing for my side. Dugan is a fruitloop no doubt but he is a gun footballer. Next year will be worse if Wallace is still at halfback!

1. Barba
2. Yow Yeh
3. Hodges
4. Reed
5. Hoffman
6. Wallace
7. Hunt/Cullen/Taylor/Anyone else who looks good in pre-season
8. Hannant
9. Baptiste
10. McGuire
11. Gillett
12. Thaiday
13. Parker

14. Granville
15. Glenn
16. Tasi
17. Hala

Release McCullough, tell him he's not wanted - Get an instant upgrade in Baptiste and give room on the bench for Granville to come on and add a spark.

Does anyone here know if Barba can play the 6 and not just the 1?

He certainly can, he played Five-Eighth in U20's and was extremely dangerous.

I'd probably recommend him playing at least a few more seasons at Fullback to develop his passing and kicking game a bit more, then throw him into the halves.

Although I would think he will stay at fullback if Broncos sign him long term. We have young halves to replace Wallace and Prince.

Say 2016,
1. Barba
6. Hunt
7. Taylor
9. Baptiste/Granville
