I see plenty of upside in Luke Jack with his effort plays and toughness. He is too small to make it as an edge back rower, so hopefully we acknowledge that and play him as a 13 / 9 where the effort plays and toughness can be very valuable.

Absolutely and this is their chance to show everyone what they have got.

Although it’s always nice to win, we really just hope to see a couple of lesser profile or younger emerging players stand up and be counted and show signs tthey are capable of playing more regular NRL sooner than later. We want Jock Madden to take plenty of control and demonstrate a good kicking...

That was my first impression also. The Roosters young fullback is a flying machine in demand from the Waratahs and the Roosters. Their halves are very good, Toby Rodwell looks to be a massive talent. Their young hooker proved what an immense talent he is playing NRL towards the back end of 2025...

The issue with not retaining Onitoni Large is that it’s been known since he was 15 that he is not only a very talented player, but his speed is elite and over the past few seasons our NRL team have lacked players with exceptional speed except for Bula. Even now we only have Bula that has elite...

I’ve noticed that

Well he has. At age 76 I don’t think he would be as switched on as he was a few years back.

Willison will become their number one prop, but the jury is still out on whether Te Kura is athletic enough and fit enough to handle the speed of the game.

Kaiden Lahrs looks the goods, he is currently off contract at the end of this season and his father spent time playing at the Broncos, I reckon they will headhunt him as one replacement. I am concerned they will also look at the Fainu brothers, Terrell and Fonua, we need to get them all extended...

We had a lot of fans whinging when it come out that Stefano Utoikamanu had a contract clause that stated he was a free agent if we did not make the top 8. In hindsight that was quite reasonable if that’s what it took to potentially keep him and by missing the 8 it was the fault of our own...

I’ve never heard of a contract where the player can excersize his right to leave at the end of each season until it become apparent that was the clause in Luai’s contract. Now I’ve heard it about it for a 2nd time with Payne Haas.

The Broncos were not going to sign him for 3 years with clauses that he can leave after each season if he wants to. I thought it was only Wests Tigers via Richo who allowed these type of clauses, but it appears the Rabbitohs are also suckers.

And we thought it only happened at Wests Tigers. It makes sense now, he wanted those clauses so he has the option to go to RL360 whenever he feels like it. If RL360 returns as planned for 2028 he will only play the one season with Souths.

I think you’re getting old and cranky Ink.

Each to their own. He has good intentions and I like his positively.

That is a strange report as the whole reason the Broncos have signed Jonah Pezet from 2027 onwards was to replace Adam Reynolds, so it was no secret.

He’s always very positive and when you follow a club like ours the positive energy is often needed.

The big issue for us is the alarming lack of proven quality forwards available to be signed within the next couple of years. Most of the ones with proven quality are now either signed long term or nearing the end of their careers which means the younger emerging forwards will start to get plenty...

Our 1-5 are very limited, way off the pace. Glassie Glassie will improve it and Josh Vella should keep improving once he gets more confidence playing a year up, but this team will struggle, be lucky to win 2 games. As noted above the team has lost 8 quality players since Harold Matthews, very...

The Eels will win it, their 1, 2, 5, 7, 13, 8 & 10 all have genuine NRL potential. Phoenix Godinet looked dejected after the game, I don’t think it will help the confidence of he or Taupau-Moors by leaving them in this team any longer. It’s a shame as if we still had the core group that started...
