2019 Broncos Line-up

This seasons roster is the best it's been for bloody 15 years. There really are very few weaknesses across all of the positions. I am very excited.
 
It's very exciting having these very talented young players in our squad. Let's hope they all turn out to be what we want them to be. The downside is other clubs throwing ridiculous money at them, I just don't see how these young guys will turn down a million dollars a season. Keeping them together is the challenge.
 
I can’t believe the squad Seibold has put together
 
Darius Boyd, Adam Blair, James Gavet, Joe Boyce, Travis Waddell vs. Shaun Fensom, Richard Kennar

I don't know about that.
 
2. Oates

4. Staggs
5. Isaako
6. Milford

8. Joffa

10. TPJ
11. Fifita
12. Su’A
13. Carrigan

15. Flegler

Boyd/Drearden/Paix

These are the guys you want locked up long term. Everyone else is surplus, nice to have but surplus.

If you had to choose between Roberts and Bird, who would you take? Would you be fully controversial and let both go?
 
I would absolutely keep Roberts over Bird but he has to find some consistent form. It feels like he's just been coasting along for the past few seasons

I feel like Roberts 2017 was brilliant his defence improved, his work rate bumped up and his runs were both fast and powerful. I didn't realise how strong he actually was until that year.

His defence and work rate both dropped last year and when that happens it feels like he drifts out of the game, but I feel that was more to do with the Achilles injury. More than a little worried to hear that it still hasn't fully healed.

He came off the bench and played wing and then second-row. Held his own.

He did ok, nothing more than that though. As a bench player, thats what will happen most weeks with his performances i guess. If he isnt careful he will end up like Peachy where he doesnt really have a position because nobody knows where to put him.

I want to keep them all but if you scaled the level of importance the player resigning were I would put milford, Haas and definetly David fifita junior along with the pick of dearden/boyd/paix in tier 1. These all have the undeniable potential to be once in a generation players. Whether they do or not is upto the coaching staff and environment we place around them, along with a little bit of luck. Haas and fifita junior have the potential to change the game with their talent, but more importantly they have the attitudes to match. Milford is sooo close to being the complete half it's ridiculous, if you put last year's game together with his running game he will be, he has just not put both together yet. Those young halves I put in the top tier on pure hype tbh, but as broncos fans we now know how rare and precious a great halfback is. The others you listed there I'd put in tier 2 along with Roberts and Lodge, then the rest surplus. All great players and we would feel the hit but not players who would drag us by our shoe laces to a premiership like those top tier players look to have the potential for.

Also, on carrigan..... I get he may well be great but to put him in fifita junior's class, or even haas', AT THIS STAGE is laughable. He may prove me wrong, but Haas and fifita junior are athletes that are just freakish, they are 18-19 and they looked like men playing with boys at times, in the bloody nrl! And they have great attitudes, and seem to be passionate about the broncos as a massive bonus (carrigan also seems to have this tbf). Even though haas didnt get much game time in his 3 games, I re watched his debut the other day. He changed the game! Souths were on top of us at the time he came on, his energy got us a repeat set, pinned them in their end, and got our forwards rolling. A bloody 18 year old, on debut, in the prop position, incredible in hindsight!.

Staggs is another that some others probably think would be a tier 1 but no way until he improves his defence. His attack is unreal but no better then birds in his 2016 season, and his defence is shocking at times.

TPJ is based purely what I have heard from him so far and his brain explosions. He can destroy a team on his own and has amazing talent and athleticism but those brain explosions can cost more premierships then he could ever win us on his own...
 
Whatever happened to Ash Taylor? How come nobody wants him anymore? Where did he end up?
 
At the titans and signed a extension. Will see in a few years who turns out better, him or milf. Imo both haven't by any means reached their potential
