    I disagree, Milf's lazy attitude is far more detrimental than Croft's lack of talent. Milf is a toxic influence on the team like Darius was, and the sooner he's out of there, the better.

    Milf will shine at a new club next year who have an organising half. He'd also shine if Arey came to the broncs and he was extended.

    Croft is poo, there's a reason Melbourne let him go so easily and Melbourne are the kings of making 'average' players play out of there skin.

My partner who is a Broncos supporter was at the game and I can only imagine the heartbreak she was feeling and then my mate who is a Cowboys supporter I can only imagine the adrenaline running through his veins!

    Rewatching this in slow-mo there are so many things happening, Freddy Fittler running down the sideline chearing on the Cows, the cameraman jumping in the air with joy, an angry Broncos supporter in the crowd absolutely death staring a cows supporter jumping around behind him.

    As a Storm supporter I kind of wish we had that opportunity to win after the siren against the Sharks, just to feel that feeling.

    Also full credit to Morgo for the flick pass because he had something like 4 blokes tackling him.

    Just watched the last 10 min in honour of the legend Morgo. I was on college at JCU at the time. Everyone was packed into our common room watching and going nuts. Will never forget all my mates crying after the win. We went to town straight after and it was one of the best nights I've had. Everyone had travelled down from all over north QLD for the game, never seen so many joyful people. What a memory.

    I would honestly drop Milf ahead of Croft, while Croft is shit, at least he busts a gut for the team, while Milf is super lazy.

    Let Milf go back to reggies and bully teams for a few weeks to get his confidence back, then bring him back in.

    Milf still has something there, Croft is just diabolical.

    Been pretty impressed with Milf's efforts in defense the last two weeks truthfully. Been sticking to tackles and the misses he's had weren't for the lack of effort.

    I'll admit, if Verills is out til round 11, I can see value in Lussick. What about when Lam comes back, does he replace Hutch and Hutch plays more dummy half?

    Yeah, I'm not seeing "no effort" from Milf. I also don't think he's even close to toxic honestly sorry Beth. Defs is lazy at times but bar for one game so far this season he's been having a crack. Croft will have a crack to but it's akin to me thinkin I'd make it in first grade... Just ain't ever gonna happen.

    Yeah nah, I think your first assessment was correct.

    Verrills coming back early is possible, Keighran is due back R7, and Lam R9. Lussick could easily be on the wrong end of a 30/50 minutes split like R2 w/Hutchinson when Keighran returns in a couple of weeks. He could then easily be out of the team altogether when Lam is back, and will be definitely out if Verrills comes back early.

    So then you get two more weeks of 35s, and then 20s/nothing.

    He was their 3rd choice starting hooker pre-season, and behind Hutchinson and Keighran for a bench role, you are getting what you pay for. Personally I already did Croker R1, and Paix last season, don't feel like I don't need another low minute, short-term hooker.

    The plan all preseason was to have a versatile 14 that can cover hooker, halves, backrow and fill in at centre if required. In a perfect world that is Keighran, with Hutchinson as back up. Now that Friend isn't around to soak up 80 minutes at hooker, the utility probably plays hooker more often than not.

    As a related note this does mean a few more minute available in the middle for those that own Collins/Tauk

    So close to a straight Tups to Haas trade next week. That would have been nice

    Croft came on all amped up and yelling orders, kicked it out on the full on the 5th tackle, then did some weird running kick mid-stride and across field 20m. That's all I saw him do. Was just weird.

    What do you think happens if Lam and Keighran are both fully fit?

    Can we get a Broncos moratorium until next Thursday, where without looking at the draw, I assume they get pumped by 30 again?

    Exception for Milf thread of course.

    Lam goes back to halves with Walker and Keighran is 14. Lam was definitely the preferred halves option at full stregnth

    Too much pressure on his shoulders. Trying too hard. Fwiw, I think there's a good HB in there, just needs a good mentor

    Yeah, thanks for pulling me back. Robbo I think likes Keighran too from what I've heard him say in pre match interviews and honestly, I forgot about him. He'd be straight in over Lussick and he seems to rate Hutch too. Yeah, I'll avoid, not worth the 2 trades.

    My guess

    6. Lam
    7. Walker

    9. Lussick

    14. Keighran/Hutchinson
