I dunno if those two will even get a sniff.

8. May
9. Koroisau
10. Twal
11. Sa. Fainu
12. Pearce-Paul
13. Doueihi

14. ?
15. Pole
16. Hunt
17. Si. Fainu

Depth: Brown, Geyer, Seyfarth, Sukkar, Taateo
Douehi will be starting 7. Latu will be recovering from surgery at the beginning of the season
 
I’m finding myself debating this with myself pretty constantly.

I’m now of the belief that if we’re going to transition Doueihi to 13 we can’t do things by halves. he needs to pack on some muscle and get used to playing 60+ minutes in the washing machine. plenty of hours on the wrestling mat and learning to use his bumpers and finding his front.

using him at 7 for a few weeks will take him off course. we can’t meddle with his development just cause our starting half is injured. if he’s a lock he’s a lock, plain and simple.

I’d be starting with Madden at 7 until Latu’s fit to ensure seamless transitions for all involved.
We played our best footy this year with Adam at halfback. He gets first crack for mine with Latu out. Latu plays 14 until he gets his opportunity

I reckon Jock is exactly what we need. He isn’t a kid now, he has spent the best part of 24 months learning under the tutelage of one of the best halves in the game.
 
Re: Bula, whilst he isn’t the best fullback in the game right now he is still an extremely talented player and the best fullback we have had at this club since Tedesco.
After watching Walsh’s performance over the last couple of months and the gf I’m left thinking is Bula ever going to get to that same level? Walsh is possibly the 2nd best fullback the Broncos have ever had. But since Darius Boyd retired the Broncos had played Issako, Niu, Martin prior to Walsh joining in 23.
The questions I ask; Is Bula in the same class as Walsh? I don’t think so unfortunately.
Is he a better fullback than Issako, Niu and Martin? Most definitely, resigning him would be ensuring we have consistency there.

Every player has a value and to go from the bottom to the top of the NRL it is vital to ensure the players being paid big money are providing value for money.
Depending on whether we can potentially re-sign Bula for 800k, 900k or 1 million you still need to stop and think will he provide value for that contract value ?
We can’t just simply pay whatever as he is a nice guy and we don’t have anyone as good or better within our own ranks at the moment.

Sure. But who with the available 900k or even 1mil could we sign to replace Bula?
