No I'm not being sarcastic or trying to be funny. Billy Walters isn't a consistent quality dummyhalf and I believe he's a weak link in the chain. He had maybe 5 or 6 good games all year and when he come back on in the grandfinal, he was a big part of the reason we went down hill.
What!?! He's got better and better all year, and his performance in the finals series was top class (that game against the Warriors comes to mind). Even non-bronco experts like Slater and Elias have talked about how good and important he has been for us. Wasn't he rated pretty high even here on the weekly player ratings? In a team full of superstar's, can't be doing that if he's that bad.
I agree smoothy should have stayed on as it suited the flow of the game and smoothy was playing well (not Walters bad) but the rest is complete and utter bs. You want harry grant there and then latrell Mitchell in the centres? Maybe kikau 2nd row, bid for AFB too while we are at it. Walters is HUGE value for money
I suppose you need to ask yourself who makes a better judge of what it takes to be a hooker in the NRL ... kman or Cam Smith (who gave Billy plenty of wraps in 2023)What!?!

I don't understand
Perhaps your disliking(?) of Billy making you think that way but hands down Billy is the most improved player this year. He deserves the credit but not the animosity. We’ll have a father son combo next year who will hold the Premiership trophy. Period!
I work in mysterious ways.
Doesn't matter what label you call hiring your relative, but it will always put you under this kind of scrutiny. It was a big risk for Kevvie, given that Billy was unproven in the role and started every game. He stood to lose his job over it. But it paid off.
Yes, he was definitely the most improved. If he weren't, Kevvie might be out of a job now.
He would be the weak link in a chain composed of Reece Walsh, Ezra Mam and Adam Reynolds. That's a pretty ominous spine. But it wasn't the case in the Grand Final. Unfortunately Adam Reynolds was the weak link. And I say that with a heavy heart.
Aren't Burleigh signed to us now
Hi ZTop, yes you right, we swapped the Devil's for the Bears.
Started making the team through merit about halfway into the season.
I agree with this. Yes Billy improved, but I think he improved due to the ample opportunities he had to hold down that spot. (Which others weren’t afforded)
