Who do you see getting a chance in the trials and how do you think they will go?

I expect, players to play, tries to be scored and goals to be kicked.

Plus one season ending injury.

Dunno if Oates has been training there, but I hope he gets a run in the back row for one of these trials.

 

[Big Pete]

Oates is set to miss the first month of the NRL season.

Still recuperating from his shoulder surgery.

He could be back earlier, but I doubt we'll see him play in any of these trial matches.

 

[Kiwi]

a lot of spots up for grabs, wing spots, the number 6, starting front row, a couple of bench spots.

 

[natheel]

Have you guys actually signed Sebastien Martins? or is it a trial type contract for the trials and then see if he earns a proper contract?

He is signed buy our feeder team the Capras. Both Capra front rowers are getting to train pre season and a trial with the Broncos. Both are huge blokes tipping the scales at 120kg each. Arlin Paki is the other prop getting a shot

 

[Big Pete]

Ay, from my understanding, we tend to give these guys a shot in the first trial.

I'm sure if Martins impresses, he'll receive an extended go but on the surface I don't think he's more than a novelty.

What about Arlin Paki? According to this article ( http://m.themorningbulletin.com.au/news/salesman-a-shoo-in-in-first-broncos-trial/2161826/ ) he's playing this weekend bit name isn't on the team list

 

[God-King Dean]

Is Parker going to be goalkicker again now Prince is gone?

 

[Big Pete]

Most likely.

Jordan Kahu has been training with Halligan as well.

He's playing. Added to the squad.

Maranta is injured. Vidot starts on the wing.

 

[Country Bronco]

16 - 4 cowboys halftime score against cowboys. Now 22-8 in second half less than 20 mins to go.

 

[Country Bronco]

32 - 8 fulltime.

CM reporting Kahu done his ACL again.

 

[some11]

If confirmed by scans tomorrow it's a bit worrying, not many players would be able to come back from three before their career has really even started.

CM reporting Kahu done his ACL again.

they also said kodi nikorima scored the try but it was his younger brother jayden.

broncos showed signs of great attack, their defense let them down a lot tonight and i think thats where we showed our inexperience. was impressed with Jon Green, had some strong hitups, Strasser played his part pretty well, Kodi Nikorima, who is one of my childhood friends had a pretty solid debut, and granville looked dangerous like always. Also made a late cameo, Jayden Nikorima, remember the name, he will make it into the NRL.

 

[Big Pete]

Thanks for the report jp.

I heard that Green, Kennedy & Lowrie were among our best on the evening.

Others like Granville & Cullen play well but showed faults.

Defence was pretty poor, but to be expected when you've got a make-shift forward pack & rookie halves.

Both Nikorimas showed good signs, but Jayden may have stolen the spotlight from his brother. He's been in the long term plans for awhile, alongside Taylor and it will be interesting to see who ends up being Milford's long term partner.

Also interesting to point on that the Broncos squad was extended to 26 - Jayden Nikorima, Brett Greinke, Ajuma Adams & Elijah Alick were last minute additions.
