Wingers

How did this happen...the Broncos have had a veritable who's who of international wingers in the last 10 years...Hancock, Carne, Sailor and Tuquiri.

And now...you have Kelly and De Vere...without doubt the games worst wing combination. and yes I know they scored 4 tries between them, but who cares...their wingers its their job to score off overlaps...

De Vere is usally on his knees before he gets to the defender...in the last 2 years I've seen him beat 2 tackles. not good for a winger. His tries yesterday came from a freak bounce and a huge overlap created by a halfback defending in the centres...once again didnt have to beat a single tackle. Almost all of his tries are simply putting the ball down over the line untouched or off a kick chase. Don't even get me started on his so called great defence...if you need an example watch Origin 3 from last year.

Kelly is useless...I've never seen anyone caught out of position more often in attack and defence...you can tell he hasnt always been a winger... his sprinting out of the line led to 2 tries yesterday...not to mention a 3rd where he droppped the ball cold without a hand being laid on him, with 80 metres of open field in front of him.

Everyone keeps talking about the broncos halves, but in my opinion its the wingers that need the work not the halves. Oh yea Minto is even worse than both of them.

Couldn't agree more.

Devere would have to be one of the worst attacking centers/backs in the game, lucky he can kick goals.

As for Kelly each week i find myself asking, why the hell has Bennett still got him in 1st grade? Every week they show a replay from a try and show how he has came in to far, and someone scores in the corner.

EVERY ONE KNOW KELLS JUST SUCKS.

I MEAN WHEN YOU BUT PARRAMATTA PLAYERS YOU ARE ASKING FOR TROUBLE

THEY ARE HARDLY A GREAT DEFENSIVE SIDE!!

HE SHOULD NOT EVEN MAKE THE SOUTHS FIRST GRADE SIDE HE IS THAT BAD

ONLY BENNETT THINKS HE ACTUALLY DOES SOMETHING! (i'm really not sure what it is, all he does is keep the other side in the game like last week)

I HOPE HE GETS INJURED AND HAS TO RETIRE

wishing injury on anyone is a litte immature. /\/\

the bronco's went through a purple patch of game breaking wingers and now look to have one of the weakest pairing in the nrl. this is why they have attempted to get lote back, made offers to brett dallas in wigan and will look for someone in the off season.

devere is by no means a fancy headline grabbing player, but he is reliable, finishes off attacking plays when asked and is a brilliant defender. he is a good leaper with the ability to kick goals, he is not exactly bad. he is a origin / test player keep in mind, he simply does not attract headlines where alot of fans base their opinions from.

kelly is useless. makes the worst decisions in defence, is basically a passenger in attack and rarely does he play in a bronco game where i don't ask myself 'why did you that ?'. bennett will not be forced to play kelly when the broncos are healthy and when healthy they do put up an impressive backline; hunt, frawley, tate, berrigan, devere, lockyer, mcguire.

Devere is very solid if unspectacular.He can score tries,defend very well,makes few mistakes and kicks goals.

Kelly is the most incompetent winger in the NRL.PERIOD.Nothing in attack and even worse in defence.A highlight reel of Kellys work would look like funniest home videos.It really does say alot for the current state of the club if this fool is in the first 17, let alone 13.Carl Webb would make a better winger than Kelly.A new dawn will awaken for the club once this gronk is shown the door.

I will not return to Suncorp until Kelly is gone.

Put Scotty Minto in - going great guns at Toowoomba all year and has earned a call-up imo. Kelly was even found out at least 10 times during the CLYDESDALES game yesterday!
