Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Oldman]

I strongly disagree as I don't see the vision, passing or kicking game in him, but I was wrong about Laurie's capacity to play there also, so who knows.

Agree I see him as a runner which is ok for a centre but not for a 5/8

 

[gregjm87]

Fast, powerful, good footwork & fend. With good halves inside him & some work on his on-field attitude with a sports psych (i.e. the constant complaining look to the ref), he could be very, very good. We saw the potential at Leichhardt Oval against the Cows!

I agree he has a good skill set. My concern is his attitude off field moreso than on field. He was released from Newcastle due to not putting the effort in off field.

Good point.
Now is the time to raid their ranks and use the poor performances of the Wallabies as leverage.

Couldn’t the wallabies say the same thing about us and raid our ranks 🤔

They could if we had someone they wanted

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

It makes far more sense to play all or the majority of our games at an upgraded Campbelltown rather than a new stadium at Liverpool. But securing government funding for a new stadium, let alone an upgrade, is a pipedream in this economic climate.

What suburb is the epicentre for our club moving forward? ie. both fanbase & heart of our catchment region.

LOL. No one is raiding these ranks. We ARE rank.

Possibly, but you play for our teams you are a winner.
No one wants to be associated with the Wallabies at the moment surely?

I think he's quite aware as a footballer but at centre it's not as obvious. As for his kicking game, I have no idea but I think he has talent.

He was very selfish playing centre, he went himself quite a few times where a pass would have probably resulted in a try, I was not a big fan of that

I kind of thought that as well but watched a highlights tape and he usually made the right decision. Not always, but usually and had quite a few try assists. Some good ones too.

A lot of the league guys going to union would have done so with the view of playing in the World Cup. Now that’s over, there may be a chance of luring some back.

Why not?
Ezra Mam showed on Sunday what a running 5/8 can do.

 

[Vicious]

In the glimpses I saw Reilly playing 5/8 he didn’t look real comfortable.
I really rate him as a quality NRL centre prospect who has the potential to really step up in 2024 if he’s given the opportunity.
In regards to our halves make up moving forward, I don’t think any of Sullivan, Fainu or Galvin would be guaranteed an NRL starting spot at any NRL club, but we are in the unique position of being able to give all 3 an opportunity and whoever initially misses out has the versatility to either earn a spot on the NRL bench or other positions if their form warrants it.
It’s a great opportunity they would not be getting at too many other clubs and Onitoni Large will only add to that competition within the next 18 months ti 2 years time.

Really mate. Mark my words the future Broncos spine will Feature Mam at halfback. He is far more then a slight, speedy ball carrier.

Only problem is that we have to leverage it against our poor performance. 🤣 🤣

I’m ex Balmain and the old ground doesn’t really have much room to expand , Cambo if expanded and turned into a 35/40 k seater with the growth out there could be just the same as panthers support out that way , 1 ground and get the locals hooked ,
