Brisbane Broncos thread on how to lose a GI and a Lock and a semi final

    Carlin Anderson to debut on the sting. Gillett could play centre, we have more forward depth to cover the edges.

    Gillett should stay where he is, our right edge-defensive structure shits the bed without him.

    I've got to say and this is big for me because I've been extremely critical of him through all the Cricsim love but I've been warming to Matt Gillett this season, I don't think he's turned into the player anyone thought or hoped he would but he's turning into a top class second rower.

    Last year he permanently shifted to an edge and went from being viewed as an attacking outlet to becoming a workhorse with little quality to his play. Getting used to the extra workload was always going to take its toll on his effectiveness and the question would be after an off-season could he take another leap in his development. His attack has been slightly better than last year although he's still got hands to make you question if he's the 5th Burgess bro but it's his defence that's been awesome this year. It was pretty standard in a Broncos game to see Matt Gillett try to rush a player taking a hit up only to end up on his ass but this year he's genuinely pulling off some huge hits and with consistency on all areas of the pitch. I think he's matured into a real forward leader of that Broncos pack and it's all been through his defence.

    Pretty much said the same in the Raiders match thread. I still think the balance in his game isn't quite there but he's much better off making 40+ tackles and only having 7 or 8 good carries than 15 touches full of errors and 25 tackles full of misses. He's genuinely developed into a well-rounded, high quality edge player.
     
  5. Harry Sack SB Slippy

    Apparently had an op today, his jaw was broken in 2 places.
     
  6. Julian BJ Taylor

    Some rumour mill saying Seggy -> Brisbane. Surely that's a gee up.
     
  7. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful



    Now this is a fucking gee up.
     
  8. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Fuck that would be amazing, but would require dropping Kodi to reserves.
     
  9. Ged GEC King

    Wouldn't surprise me if they fucked Kodi off given he's most likely going to leave at season end anyway. Use that money for Seg for this season and then upgrade it for next.
     
  10. Cribbage RG Cribb

    I don't really get the relevance.. but statists gonna state.
     
  11. Alec AD Funkotron

    Would prefer to keep Kodi over Segeyaro, but we don't really have anyone else if/when he leaves.
     
  12. jazman84 JM Eightyfour

    Would be gun.
     
  13. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Parker just announced 2016 is his last. Can't fucking believe he has retired. He is playing the best footy of his career, thought he had at least 2 more seasons in him, and was gonna target 400 games.
     
  14. Alec AD Funkotron

    Definitely a tap on the shoulder from Wayne. Fucking sucks.
     
  15. Tartmaster AJ James

    That actually sucks so much.
    He's still one of he best forwards in the game, definitely had another year or 2 in him.
     
  16. jazman84 JM Eightyfour

    Yeh, totally sucks.
     
  17. jazman84 JM Eightyfour

    Tallis to come out and say it's in response to the wraps he was giving him this week.
     
  18. Julian BJ Taylor

    Would've been nice to see him give his twilight year to say; The Titans.
     
  19. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Nah fuck that. Stay a one club player. He will still be sought after from sponsors in Brisbane for a few more years. Sick of us naming 1 year captains, though. Give the job to Hunt or McCullough and make it their side for 6-8 years,

    Keen to see Opacic play this week.
