As the rebuild continues we starting to look like a team, Crichton will possibly become our fullback also we have 2 or 3 young hopefuls,, we need a halfback but that could be covered by Oloapu or other rising young half, we do have some very talented forwards coming through but we missing the final piece of the puzzle, an ALPHA a prop to lead the pack the team,
Who will it be ???

NAS is literally the ONLY ONE available that could fit that mould unless we're willing to take JWH for a year. I just wish Gus would bite the bullet and make that move. We're not gonna have a dominant forward pack capable of taking us far into the 8 without one. Can't see the Broncos letting go of Haas now they've lost Flegler. We should have really signed Leniu. With him we would have been sweet for 2024 and not really needed anyone else.

Go hard for Payne Haas, he’s only 23, how good could he be when he’s a seasoned prop of 25, 26 or 28 … contracted for 24 but could agitate to come back to NSW a year early for family reasons on compassionate grounds ..

It’s worked for Bronco’s twice against us, time we got one back on them ..

There’s the alpha we need ..

I agree,

In speaking with people I know still associated with the footy, good middles are hard to find. Covid has affected development for those in early 20s and the change of rules has meant middles need to have more mobility n agility than previous. It's not enough to be big. Last year the dogs tried a lot of middles in lower grades, far more than usual.

Peter tunks, Darren britt, Mark o meley, James Graham....they were signed as the alpha dog and it led to grand finals and premierships.Luke Thompson hasn't worked out for us so now it's either haas,fifita,asofa solomona

Can we clone O'Meley please?
Gus keeps on telling us we have a lot of space in the cap, why not invest in two props, we all know the great Bullfrog say...
Someone posted highlights of Matty Lees from St Helen's, he looks the goods a real hounddog / Bulldog, he might want to test himself, then we can monitor the situation with the likes of Haas and NAS.

Payne is not even Brisbane's alpha.. good for meters yes, but not an alpha at all..
