Those Broncos young guns can change the course of a game in a flash. Our young guns don't appear to have that in them just yet. I'd say Walsh and Mam have it over Sloan and Sullivan and on Saturday 18th we will see them battle it out at Suncorp Stadium - a tough task I feel.

You’re missing a very big difference in circumstances. Can you guess what it is? Walsh was full of mistakes last year. Very much rocks and diamonds. Was good for as many brain farts in a game as he was for the brilliant things he did. The coach stuck with him the entire way through the season knowing how much upside there was in him. Now he’s got a full season of NRL experience under his belt. Imagine if we had a coach that had done the same with Sloan and Sullivan…….

Acknowledge what you say since77. Wasn't Walsh at the Warriors in 2022 and Nathan Brown was head coach until he decided to give coaching away in July 2022 and the job filled by Stacey jones for the rest of 2022? Walsh did have an up and down year like several others from the Warriors being away from home and such. Walsh had several off field problems as well. Walsh came back to the Broncs this year.

So I guess that under Brown and Jones, he was given chances and was rocks and diamonds as you say. This year is a new year under Walters who will give him back the job of just running his own game and in this early stage is showing his abilities, with Star billing status looming.

He has not had a full season under Walters but indications are that he will kill it for the Broncos.

Sloan and Sullivan have not had the best of coaching unfortunately, but I feel sure if they are kept in the side all year, even though they might have a rocks and diamonds year, they will blossom when the "new coach" comes onto the scene.

what we have to do is bring brown back home, he can spot young talent.

It has been stated on here a million times previously, but it's a yes from me to Sloan, Junior (if available) and Bud for a full year for me. I'd be happy for rocks and diamonds team performances and even end in the bottom half by years end but FMD, just imagine how good It'd be if they play as we know they can and the rest play off that? The alternative is more of the same three years and by the games played so far, we're a long way from that.

absolutely nothing to lose this year can only help all three

I suppose we can consider ourselves lucky that Sloan Sullivan and possibly Amone are on the same playing field

We can consider ourselves lucky when they prove themselves at NRL level

We have been down this path many times before and in the end many a fancied junior didn’t quite have it.

Big Nelson just bullied his way to the try line. Simple pass from dummy half and he scattered blokes. That's why he would be a great recruit. Now he's had an awesome charge from kick off resulting in bulldogs tacklers giving away a penalty. We don't have anyone that can play like him.

 

[Budpower]

Jnr had a great first season, total consitency with heaps of improvement, Bud carved in every game he had the chance to getting better each game, these 2 are ahead of Sloaney at the moment but all 3 need to be in this team if were going to score points

We need a guy like Nelson but why would the Storm let him go? Unless of course we offer him the world.

Rubbish.

Aaron Woods can do that.

He showed me on his PS4 the other night.

True but some of his lazy defensive efforts were a concern. According to Bellamy he was not alone

It's amazing what a full season under a juniors belt can do hence why Walsh/Mam are killing it. That should have been Sloan and Bud last year. Wasted years under Hook. Lucky they backflipped and hung around. Ilias is another to benefit a full year as well.

Didn't we do that with Junior last year? Feagai and Ramsay are our equivalent of Walsh. He actually played 2 years with the Warriors. So we've done the same thing with some of our juniors. Sloan just wasn't cutting it and Bud was injured on and off. Just not sure what more we could have done without having a whole team of inexperienced players. You can't have them all in at once.

You are dropping truth bombs today mate. Appreciate someone not so negative!!

Agree but for them to do that they need time on the field consistently, win or lose they need to remain there.

 

[Slippery Morris]

He could have easily slotted in Sloan and Bud last year as well if he wanted to. Move Hunt to 9 where he played reps and Bud to 7 from the bench that is. Sloan and Ramsey could have been on the field together to. Panthers had a heap of juniors playing NRL together and had a few leaner years but look at them now. Why was Saints restricted to only giving a couple of guys full seasons last year? Anyway lets agree to disagree. Good to see them all get a run now. I really hope it continues.
