I doubt it.

We have Billy, Marky & Pauga

[FlamingRooster]

I doubt it.

We have Billy, Marky & Pauga

Pauga is a winger who can fill in at centre. Robinson has already spoke so highly of Toia, he’s 20 years old so not a teen anymore. He killed it in his few games on his return from a serious ACL injury in reggies. Billy would be there, but it’s Billy. I think the club doesn’t really have the patience with him anymore. The future pairing barring a new signing or Manu return is Mark and Toia and that’s what I’m expecting

[Steggles]

Watson is no 9; Moriarty for me.

Pauga has played in the centres for us in the past and most recently represented Samoa in the centres too. If called upon for the first few fixtures he would do a job.

I think toia will come into the squad mid year- back end. He’s good I know but if you really think about hasn’t played that much footy over the last 3 years.

Get him a full pre season and some games in cup to build that confidence.


For me? I’d go 3.Smith 4.Marky.

Doubt it. He’s got Smith and Rugby man ahead of him.

He’s never stood out the numerous times I’ve watched him in reserves.

I'm just having a wild guess here and triangulating a few circumstances...but I suspect we are going in for Blake Mozer who has not resigned for the Broncos, so far as I know. If that's right and if we get him in time for next year, he will debut in round 1.

Let me explain - I think we have been linked with an interest in Mozer before. I also get the feeling the Broncos can't offer him the same financial package as we can and their interest in Ben Hunt may well be as experienced cover for the halves and for hooker.

With no announcement about ZDC, and with Brandon Smith injured and seemingly on the outer - even if he can make it back next year, which I am not certain of given the dual injury to his knee - if there are lingering doubts about Moriarty being ready or being good enough, then Mozer might be our man. Robson from the Cowboys would be an awesome signing and has a lot more experience but I think no chance they release him for 2025 whereas for the Broncos, getting Mozer off the books may give them just enough cabbage to bring Hunt home. Lots and lots of ifs, and I may well be wide of the mark. Just a sneaky feeling!

When they do, it’ll likely be off the bench.
XV in the 15 jersey

Is this Mozer guy any good?

Is this Mozer guy any good?

In the little I have seen of him, I think he is. He seemed to get the Broncos going over the advantage line each time he came on. So, good service and seems to read the game well.

Thanks Intercept. It will be interesting to see if you’re theory is right.
