Broncos Recruitment

[Big Pete]

I'm fine with letting Kodi go.

Jayden is a bigger concern.

 

[Dazzat]

Garbutt is on the bench for Easts v Redcliffe on Sunday, which will be televised.

Looks like Jake is off to the cowpats. Big loss I reckon.

As if the Broncos did not have enough drama, they confirmed that promising hooker Jake Granville will leave for North Queensland at year’s end.

Really no other choice for Jake. Hope it goes well for him.

 

[Dazzat]

Garbutt very impressive against Redcliffe. Big call ... but he has a little Beetson about him.

 

[Snappy]

we knew it was coming, but its now official. Granville has signed with the cowpats for 2015, 2016

edit. Sorry this is old news it appears

 

[AceAv]

Yep not too happy about this. He's an amazing player and clearly deserves a first grade spot, but he's been really effective for us on the bench..

Can't keep em all =/

 

[Bronco18]

I can't be the only one thinking this: can we just not buy Darius Boyd? He can go to a club like Canberra, his antics wouldn't look out of place there.

The article is all speculation, but the Boyd-Bennet bromance has been around for too long to ignore.

 

[hellteam]

Garbutt is a great pick up, been dominating the Q Cup for the past few years and he is still quite young for a front rower. Really think he has massive potential, if we can keep him and McGuire we are looking good in the front row.

Wonder if Canberra would be interested in Barba...

 

[Dazzat]

Best case scenario for me ... Bennett tells Hoffman to play wing and he does so gladly, Boyd, Rochow and Willie Mason come (yes Willie for one or two years) with Bennett, Barba leaves (for Canberra or Newcastle), Glenn packs a sad and leaves for Newcastle to play under Griffin.

All good!

 

[Kiwi]

no to boyd or any knight now that we have garbutt adding size to the pack and Bennett coming. NO to seeing Barba get dumped.

I am extremely happy with the following

1 - Barba
2 - Vidot
3 - Copely
4 - Hodges
5 - Kahu
6 - Milford
7 - Hunt
8 - McGuire
9 - McCullough
10 - Parker
11 - Glenn
12 - Thaiday
13 - Gillett

14 - Garbutt
15 - Oates
16 - Hannant
17 - Wallace
18 - J Nikorima
19 - Molo
20 - Taylor
21 - Maranta
22 - Lowrie
23 - Hala
24 - Reed
25 - M Barba

I think the starting forward pack we have now is our best option with Hannant, Garbutt, Oates and Wallace adding impact off the bench.

 

[gUt]

Am I the only one who thinks Glenn is worth persisting with? Yeah he's not the biggest or fastest but I think he's a fine player. Then again I thought Wallace wasn't the mong everyone else did too so maybe I'm no judge

Nope I am certainly waving the glenn flag.

Despite the statistics, he's not having his best year. Looks like a player who needs a fresh start. Quality player and person ... but just seems stale.

 

[Bretto]

Glenn is a good toiler. Takes hard meters when no one else will. But, he also goes missing a lot.

We need to drop either him or Thaiday to the bench so Parker can move to Lock and we can have 2 Props in the starting line up. It's all good and well to just say, "Yeah, but Parker plays middle third anyway", well yeah, he does, but he should do it from Lock. By that I mean, we currently play Thaiday at Lock, which means he needs to play middle. He should be playing on the edge.

McGuire, Hannant, Parker, Garbutt, Wallace to play middle.

Glenn, Gillett, Thaiday, Oates to play on the edges.

That's 4 genuine Props and a Lock, and 4 genuine Backrowers.

That's just my take on it anyway.

 

[Kiwi]

Reports in the courier mail that Hunt will test his value on the open market. We need to stop f**king around hoping we sign DCE and lock Hunt up. Offer the kid 700k a season for 2 years. That way if he keeps getting better we can reward him further. The grass isn't always greener on the other side, and if wearen't careful we'll be in really bad shape because all our young halves will leave because we seem fixated on buying someone else.

I really just wish we would concentrate on the halves we have coming through in J Nikorima, Taylor sect as well as, Hunt and Milford.

 

[Snappy]

Ben Hunt is now getting mouthy and saying he is open to offers for 2016

 

[Snappy]

ha you beat me to it. Hunt is the future of our club. He must be offered a big long term contract.
