2022 Brisbane Broncos Thread Top 13 in our sights

I agree with this. Throwing a rookie into 7 would hurt us more in the short term than it would help. Why where's Alfie going ? He leads the team around the park for the first 4 tackles till he has to come off. Your current halves can't organise 2 tackles. How can it hurt more than that ?

The young guys we have aren't leading their teams around the park in Q CUP. Alfie doesn't play QLD Cup.

Dearden may be the long term solution but he's played 3 games of Q cup. Its not the time to throw him in the deep end. We have players all over the park that need to lift their games (Isaako, Oates, Glenn, Macca, Boyd, Gillett (to an extent), Roberts, Bird, etc) Could be they're all treading water till Seibold punts them and replaces them with his own players next year.

On that note; did anyone else read Peter Badel's 3 part series about the Broncos/Bennett/Siebold/Souths debacle?

I know full well not to believe every news piece I read but Badel is normally a fairly decent journo and it was pretty interesting reading to be honest.

I was pretty dirty at the time we let the best coach ever to have ever picked up a clipboard and donned a whistle go like we did.....but I'm even dirtier now.
