Who Will They Lose? Too early to tell
Who Will Be The Biggest Surprise? Mitch Garbutt
Who Will Be The Biggest Disappointment? Thaiday

Who Will Be The Broncos Best Player Next Season? Milford

Top Try Scorer? Copley

Rookie? Offa

Captain? Hodges

Who Will They Sign? Gagai

Who Will They Lose?

I reckon Thaiday might get the tap on the shoulder. Perhaps Glenn might go too. depends who gets what share of the minutes for 2nd row

Who Will Be The Biggest Surprise?

Garbutt or Gavet are probably the likely ones, there'll be few other new signings that will do anything (we know what Milf can do). Only other choice might be Kahu if he tears it up with an extended run in the side (but probably won't surprising as such)

Who Will Be The Biggest Disappointment?
I really hope it's not the case, but my money is on Blair (I keep forgetting we signed him). Though if anyone has to be, I want it to be Boyd.

Best Forward? McGuire

Best Back? Copley

Who will be the biggest scapegoat on here? Macca, Gillo (they have their fair share of critics on here) or Boyd (even more so)

Who will be the best buy? Milford

Who will be the worst? Boyd/Blair

Who will make their rep debut? By rep I'm guessing Qld/Aus, so McGuire. Perhaps Copley

Who will be dropped from rep footy? Thaiday's time is up. Hodgo might 'drop' himself by retiring from rep footy (depends on him getting the captaincy imo)

 

[talanoa]

Let's lay down our expectations of the year ahead.

Who Will Be The Broncos Best Player Next Season? Mcguire
Top Try Scorer? Copley
Rookie Oates, although im not sure he still qualifies, so if not ill go with Frank Molo.
Captain? Parker
Who Will They Sign?Bennett wants Merrin big time but his price tag is to high.
Who Will They Lose? Mcuire & Glenn
Who Will Be The Biggest Surprise?
Who Will Be The Biggest Disappointment? Gillett & Glenn
Best Forward? Mcguire
Best Back? Copley
Who will be the biggest scapegoat on here? Steve Kearney
Who will be the best buy?
Who will be the worst? Toss up between Gavet & Boyd, not because of ability but injury. Gavet is busted already.
Who will make their rep debut? Copley & Mcguire
Who will be dropped from rep footy?

I think Thaiday will survive one more year, only just though.

 

[heartly87]

Who Will Be The Broncos Best Player Next Season? Hunt
Top Try Scorer? Copley/Milf
Rookie? Offa
Captain? Parker
Who Will They Sign? not sure but the likelihood being a forward is high
Who Will They Lose? Depending on the season I could see Thaiday
Who Will Be The Biggest Surprise? Blair, his expectation level on this forum and within the League community is very low after the Tigers years. He may have a new fire in him, with Bennett's belief in him.
Who Will Be The Biggest Disappointment? Gillett/Thaiday/Glenn for similar reasons. I have felt our second row has underperformed for the last 3 years.
Best Forward? McGuire/ Parker
Best Back? This is a hard one but will come down to three for me being Hunt/Milf/Boyd as it has to be from the spine
Who will be the biggest scapegoat on here? Bennett as he already is on the forum lol
Who will be the best buy? Milf
Who will be the worst? Waddell
Who will make their rep debut? Vidot/Moos
Who will be dropped from rep footy? Gillett

 

[Porthoz]

Who Will Be The Broncos Best Player Next Season? Milford
Top Try Scorer? Kahu
Rookie? Parcell
Captain? Parker
Who Will They Sign? Dane Gagai
Who Will They Lose? Alex Glenn
Who Will Be The Biggest Surprise? Kahu
Who Will Be The Biggest Disappointment? One of Garbutt or Gavet
Best Forward? Gillett
Best Back? Milford
Who will be the biggest scapegoat on here? Blair and Boyd at a later stage, and Bennett in particular if things don't go well enough.
Who will be the best buy? Milford
Who will be the worst? Waddell or Blair
Who will make their rep debut? McGuire
Who will be dropped from rep footy? Hodges (voluntarily)

 

[Super Freak]

Who Will Be The Broncos Best Player Next Season? Ben Hunt. I'm liking what I am hearing from him. He knows he needs to make a lot of improvements in his game and he will be working hard at it. He is a hard worker and one of the major reasons why he was so successful last year.

Top Try Scorer? Dale Copley. I can't see Milford being in a position to score a lot of tries.

Rookie? Matt Parcell.

Captain? Corey Parker.

Who Will They Sign? Dane Gagai. I hope they don't.

Who Will They Lose? Alex Glenn.

Who Will Be The Biggest Surprise? Mitch Garbutt. I think he will show a lot of people exactly what he is made of.

Who Will Be The Biggest Disappointment? Adam Blair. So much hype, but he hasn't been anywhere near his best for years. I can't see him turning it around next year.

Best Forward? Josh McGuire.

Best Back? Ben Hunt.

Who will be the biggest scapegoat on here? Wayne Bennett. Darius Boyd when he returns.

Who will be the best buy? Anthony Milford.

Who will be the worst? Travis Waddell.

Who will make their rep debut? Josh McGuire.

Who will be dropped from rep footy? No one. Unless you count being out injured and not playing as being dropped, then Darius Boyd.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Who Will Be The Broncos Best Player Next Season? Hunt or Milford

Top Try Scorer? Dale Copley

Rookie? Mitch Garbutt

Captain? Hodges

Who Will They Sign? Probably noone but maybe Merrin

Who Will They Lose? Thaiday or Hodges to retirement

Who Will Be The Biggest Surprise? Mitch Garbutt. This guy is primed to become one of the best front rowers in the comp if he applies himself

Who Will Be The Biggest Disappointment? Hard to tell, but Thaiday is on eggshells, clearly

Best Forward? McGuire.

Best Back? Milford

Who will be the biggest scapegoat on here? Bennett, inevitably.

Who will be the best buy? Milford (this one will be a no brainer)

Who will be the worst? Travis Waddell. I have seen literally one good play from him, when he stripped the ball from Slater and dived over to score in that boilover

Who will make their rep debut? McGuire and Milford. If Slater is injured, Milf will debut for the Maroons at the back

Who will be dropped from rep footy? Nobody. Meninga never changes the squad dramatically

 

[Splinter]

Who Will Be The Broncos Best Player Next Season? Hunt

Top Try Scorer? Gillett or Copley if named at left centre

Rookie? Adams or Grienke

Captain? Hodges

Who Will They Sign? Gagai

Who Will They Lose? Glenn

Who Will Be The Biggest Surprise? Kahu

Who Will Be The Biggest Disappointment? Vidot

Best Forward? McCulloch

Best Back? Milford

Who will be the biggest scapegoat on here? Blair

Who will be the best buy? Garbutt

Who will be the worst? Travis Waddell

Who will make their rep debut? McGuire

Who will be dropped from rep footy? No one

 

[Morkel]

Many saying that Waddell will be worst buy. But think Blair will be a disappointment. Surely for the money that'd make Blair the worst buy, as opposed to the minimum-wage depth signing?

 

[Broncoman]

Who will be the best player next season: Corey Parker

Top try scorer: Anthony Milford

Rookie: Mitch Garbutt

Captain: Corey Parker

Who will they sign:Not expecting much signings but we might nab Merrin if we're lucky

Who will we lose: Alex Glenn

Who will be the biggest surprise: Jordan Kahu

Who will be the biggest disappointment: Adam Blair

Best forward: Corey Parker

Best back: Anthony Milford

Who will be the biggest scapegoat: Anthony Milford (if he doesn't perform)

Who will be the best buy: Anthony Milford (if he does perform)

Who will be the worst buy: Adam Blair

Who will make their rep debut: Can't really see either Milford or McGuire getting picked for either Australia or Queensland barring injuries

Who will be dropped from rep: Ben Hunt. Might seem stupid but an injury crisis played a big part in him getting picked for Australia and when the Roos return to full strength he will likely be replaced and Cronk/Thurston/DCE are still ahead of him at Origin. Would love to see him continue for Australia though.

 

[Super Freak]

If I remember correctly, Garbutt wouldn't be classed as a rookie because he has played in too many games.

 

[Battler]

Let's lay down our expectations of the year ahead.

Who Will Be The Broncos Best Player Next Season? Hunt
Top Try Scorer? Copley
Rookie? Offa
Captain? Parker
Who Will They Sign? No idea. Maybe Merrin?
Who Will They Lose? Thaiday, hopefully.
Who Will Be The Biggest Surprise? Blair
Who Will Be The Biggest Disappointment? Garbutt (will be replaced by Offa by mid season).
Best Forward? Blair/ Parker/ McQuire.
Best Back? Hodges.
Who will be the biggest scapegoat on here? Reed or Thaiday, although they will deserve the ridicule.
Who will be the best buy? Bennett.
Who will be the worst? Garbutt
Who will make their rep debut? Milford
Who will be dropped from rep footy? Thaiday or Gillet.

Obviously this is my opinion. I think Garbutt is rated way too highly on here, but will be happy to be proven wrong.

 

[Allo]

Who will be dropped from rep: Ben Hunt. Might seem stupid but an injury crisis played a big part in him getting picked for Australia and when the Roos return to full strength he will likely be replaced and Cronk/Thurston/DCE are still ahead of him at Origin. Would love to see him continue for Australia though.

While probable, I think it's more a form question. Hence why more people are aiming at Thaiday

 

[Mitch06]

Best Player? Ben Hunt
Top Try Scorer? Dale Copley
Rookie? Unpredictable..depends who is a given a crack due to injuries or origin. Parcell, Jikorima, Offa etc
Captain? Hodges
Who will they sign? God knows..dependswho we lose really and salary cap room
Who will they lose? Glenn or Reed
Biggest Surprise? Kahu and Gavet
Biggest Disappointment? Blair and McCullough
Best Foward? Parker/Mcguire
Best Back? Milford
Best Buy? Milford and Bennet
Worst Buy? Blair and Eden
Rep Debut? Copley and Mcguire
Dropped from rep? Can't see it happening unless it is Hunt :/
Most Consistent? Hodges and Hunt

 

[Ari Gold]

Who Will Be The Broncos Best Player Next Season? Ben Hunt
Top Try Scorer? Jordan Kahu
Rookie? Joe Ofahengaue
Captain? The Guy who should have been retired already
Who Will We Sign? Dane Gagai
Who Will We Lose? Jayden Nikorima
Who Will Be The Biggest Surprise? Jordan Kahu
Who Will Be The Biggest Disappointment? Wayne Bennett. Then Adam Blair.
Best Forward? CP13
Best Back? Retired already guy
Who will be the biggest scapegoat on here? Wayne Bennett.
Who will be the 2nd best buy? Matt Parcell
Who will be the worst? Wayne Bennett
Who will make their rep debut? Dale Copley (McGuire has already made his rep debut for Samoa)
Who will be dropped from rep footy? Darius Boyd (because I doubt he'll make it back in time for Origin)

 

[Super Freak]

I'm going to change my rep debut answer to no one. As Ari pointed out, McGuire already has made his rep debut... I completely forgot about that.

Copley is not making any rep teams. There are other options that the selectors like more.

 

[Alec]

Us signing Gagai is the most likely answer out of the whole thing IMO.
