No he’s not. Why would a dude who’s played for the warriors forever be on the min, aka the same coin as ali, ale, Kosi etc

Some trainspotter posted that a few weeks back.
It goes back to when the club was going to let him go north but the deal fell through so they got him back cheap.
I cannot vouch for it apart it from being on here.

Our defense at ruck speed

Link?

 

[Bruce]

I like all the players pencilled in for our 1-5 next year. What I don’t like is how collectively slow the group is.

Fastest is maybe DWZ and he ain’t fast. So when I say I really really want added speed it’s not targeting at any one individual in the 1-5, but dam we are slow.
Someone with real pace in the back five would add a dynamic we don’t have and give the opponent even more to think about.

Speed isn't everything, but it is a hell of a lot.
The Broncos have speed right across the paddock, that is where Walsh fits in, but it is all he has.
Our backs might not be fast but they can penetrate.

Agreed it’s not everything, it needs to be paired with skill. A winger with blinding pace, who can’t tackle and sucks under the high ball is too much of a liability, but that winger if he can tackle and can take the high ball…. Imagine him outside RTS and TMM or Metcalf.
Suddenly our left side attack could be as good as our right side but in a different way.

 

[Bruce]

Sometimes you sound like a Jilted lover when you short change Walsh.

Nah, I just think he is over rated. I cannot understand people thinking he wa Dally M material. Ponga is a much better player, even when he was younger.

 

[Bruce]

Unfortunately for your argument, Reece Walsh will be one of the most dominant NRL stars of the next decade. You are gonna have to argue against an ocean of evidence.

Mark my words he will go down in the mentions as a Billy Slater or any goat fullback in the history of the game.

You are welcome to your opinion. I would rather have CNK.

All this interesting recruiting talk

 

[Bruce]

Ref has been fair in this game Inruin.

No bad calls?

 

[Bruce]

Heyzeuss is there a RWC on?

 

[Bruce]

Half time entertainments from the 1980s...so obviously they are thinking of us Dinosaurs...or they are stingy

 

[Bruce]

Come on there have been fuck all calls of any kind compared to a Warriors game. Good or bad.

There have been bad calls. Mainly against the Broncos

There have been bad calls. Mainly against the Broncos

But overall fuck all Reff involvement compared to all Inruins posts about fair Reffing.

Wrong thread brother

 

[Bruce]

Brilliant kick by Walsh

 

[sup42]

Wrong thread brother

Not really this is the thread where we see special reffing that is different to the treatment the Vodafone CEO complained about.

I can refer you to a substance abuse counselor in pm if your interested,.

 

[sup42]

Carn Broncos break these fucks from Banjo country West,.

 

[sup42]

Ivan cleary and Nathan talk can fark off, give me Webster and SJ any day.

The Broncos style is what we do naturally, the Broncos are doing us a favour here by changing the game from Riff ball to Kiwi ball.

 

[sup42]

Experience counts, Broncos in the fight of the clubs history here
