Heard a few things that make it sound like Broncos have gone a bit cold on buying another prop for the time being. Reckon we should at least entertain talking to him if we fuck Elliott off. He's an older experienced head with some leadership qualities which we could do with.

James definitely seems on the outer at Canberra and I find it odd they aren't playing him at all, and picking Horsburgh over him. Seems some Canberra fans find it strange too.

He goes close to getting our best and fairest this year. As many try’s as hoppa. More meters per game then Napa, Ava, Waddell.

Didn’t get suspended. Didn’t miss a game. If he misses out on the big prize he should Atleast be the runner up :p

I think Horse brah is better but James looks like a genuine leader, when he was with us he was getting into our blokes on field and that's something we've lacked. I'd love it if we had him next season instead of a few other guys.

I’d be happy to get him and prefer him over Asiata for a minimum wage?

If elliott goes (has to) then give him a roster spot and minimum wage.

He can teach them how to time their hitups to get the most advantage, half the time our guys are standing still when they get the ball.

I have a feeling a player swap is on the cards, not sure who but this would make sense.

Just about to start another thread in Rumours now.

That partly falls on the hooker/ forwards trusting him to get a well timed pass to them. Saw a few of our forwards drop from being monsters to looking a bit shit after Ennis moved on. A well timed pass allows them to just concentrate on running hard and bracing for impact.

Asiata at least has a passing game and can play a good link between wide forwards and backs. He offers us a little variety which I think that our attack needs.....it helps to take the pressure off inexperienced halves. Would be a good investment, but not sure that the cap situation will allow us to pick him up.

Hard
And he actually fired up when things went wrong unlike our powderpuff forwards
