The question that needs to be asked - is Anasta a better agent than we gave him credit for? He shafted the Eels and the Broncs combined, in securing the services of a 2nd rate halfback long term.
neither, leave him in reserve grade, biggest mistake by Ryles. was never going to help us get to the finals, not the future and shuld of been developing a junior or Joash which ever was staying long term, they can only develope by playing NRL and see if they are good enough.
I am inclined to think if when Ilongi comes back and if Moses is out that Volkman would offer more as a half and then Joash could slot back into 5/8 or we choose the time to blood Taitana. Actually that would work on another level as Taitana and Volkman know each others games.
I am inclined to agree with Shane he should only be playing where we have no alternatives and as a goodwill gesture to both him and Bronc's release him before the 30th June to Broncs and pay him out.....it might be an unwelcome gift but being Broncs they should not look a gift horse in the mouth......
We've made our bed on this one now with the accidental bumping into Volkmans performances of late I feel JR has zero choice but to continue with the mentioned zero choice.If he can leave DB on the bench to give opportunities to the next guy he certainly can do the same with Pezet.
I mean I'd look to horse trade him for another player that would be ideal but will it happen god knows do we have a player in mind can they execute it if we do more questions than answers.
The question is what has he actually done for the team since his participation? I think he scored 1 try but how much has his poor defence let in? I'd probably play him at 14 and see how he goes and if no good put him 18th or 19th and if again no good either try get to Broncos this year or reserve grade
offer him the bulldogs as a 7 and we'll take galvin as a 6.
However being serious for a moment, let's just say we are in the hunt for a top 8 spot in about 6 or so weeks. having a genuine half available even as a backup on the extended bench is essential. When all hands are back on deck, i feel a Pezet may become a requirement if we are anywhere near that top 8.
Lets not forget if Ryles fails to play finals this year, most of us are peeved, if he does make the finals, we'll ! Ryles gets a lot of breathing space next year to continue his long rebuild phase. There will be a lot on Ryles mind that's for sure.
I can't believe that after the start from absolute hell this year, we are only 2 wins out of the top 8. Go figure.
"I'll be honest, this is one of the best seasons of footy to watch in years because you really don't have any idea who's gonna win each game - I love that!
I wish we had a bit more luck with injuries so we'd be further up the ladder, but this season…"
"You guys are underestimating him a bit here, Pezet will will actually play a crucial role over the Origin period to cover Moses. Have you guys forgotten that Moses has never played 3 Origin games because he ALWAYS gets injured, so while Volkman has…"

Well done Braith!
That is his job is it not? Get best deal possible for his client?

I was totally against the cuckold move by the club to sign him in the first place and all he has done is prove my concerns correct.
Leave him in reserve grade, he should only get a run in first grade if moses is out.

Or leave Volkman for now. And what if Brisbane don't have cap space to fit him in now Poppa?

He should stay in reserves at least until after the bye and hopefully for the rest of the dead season.
Will find out at 1600 on Tuesday if JR is really all in on the 'future is now' mantra.
