"Also I was told by a HM player that he recon Bloomfield and Risati will pick union."
"I would start Williams and KK. Tuilagi comes from the bench with Williams then moving into the middle rotation. However if Tuilagi edge defence is still not good enough, trial him in the middle otherwise off he goes at the end of the year."
"Odds on for Sualli...?
Has he whispered something to you"
Has he whispered something to you"
"I think Popo will nearly be as good as Talagi. Dont forget our own Cam Murray in Sam Polley.
Also I think Riley Davis is a lot like Reece Walsh. Acceleration is great.
Fletcher, Lorenzo and Risati should all be FG halves and are just 18, 19 & 20…"

Oh I only said he has been mentioned more but 60's said Lorenzo was in rehab for a bit too.
What are your thioughts about those three LB? EA/Sonic seem to be quite bullish on them. When it comes to juniors, it's hard to tell who will make it eventually. Few do. But you can't give up too early. Twiddle is another, I suppose.
Onething I look at when I see juniors is there physicality and competitiveness.
If they can stand up physically they've got a chance they have.
If they can't it's an uphill battle.
Competitive you want the guys who get upset when they make mistakes and hate losing even little things.If there's a game of whatever it is that guy wants it there character traits I look at.
Throw the highlights out the window we have to dig deeper than that.Kids who come from deprived backgrounds and have had to work for everything there whole lives.
JFH Moses Leota that's what Riff were built off in the middle.
We found Manu Ma'u Danny Wicks guys who had no business resurrecting there lives but did.Guys who've overcome obstacles in life these are the types I'm looking for off the park.
Coryn, spot on. Absolutely on the money. That’s exactly what Ryles will be looking for in the trials.
Just one caveat: smaller spine players, and generals, with strong footy IQ might not jump off the page athletically or physically but are hyper-critical. They might need protectors. They're probably at their best late 20s-to mid 30s, a bit bulkier and mentally mature, when their muscle mass and bone density is at its peak, despite dropping off in fast-twitch acceleration and explosiveness.
You can get that good balance elsewhere with older players like Dylan Walker. He can handle the physicality in the middle but has good footy IQ. Even the Fox has good footy IQ for a winger, communicates on-field, and has helped Sean Russell.
yeh, that point Coryn made about competitiveness...... noted Lincoln Fletcher beat Smith in the Bronco's run the other day (TCT) and that smacks of it, Smith doesn't lose much!
"Bronco's run" ...???
its a name that is used and founded somewhere in Broncos history?
Definition from Google; A Bronco Run, or Bronco Test, is a demanding aerobic fitness assessment, common in rugby and other field sports, that involves a 1.2 km shuttle run with constant changes of direction, challenging anaerobic capacity and maximum aerobic speed by repeatedly running 20m, 40m, and 60m out and back five times, with the goal of finishing in the fastest time possible.
yes, as it turn's out it's origin is NZ Rugby and nothing to do with the Brisbane Broncos.
My apologies.
In my day it was called the beep test or another run we used to do was called Henny Mullers for oxygen sapping lung busting exercise.
Yo-yo's is another run very similar to the bronco.
AB bronco record is 4.12 held by Beauden Barrett & Cam Roigard.
Blair Mills ie Hurricanes S & C coach fastest Bronco during there pre season this year was 4.20.
