GAINS: Anthony Milford (Canberra Raiders - 2016) Mitch Garbutt (Melbourne Storm - 2017) Travis Waddell (Newcastle Knights) James Gavet, Adam Blair (Wests Tigers - 2016), Greg Eden (UK SL)
LOSSES: Jharal Yow Yeh (Retirement) Jake Granville (North QLD Cowboys) Stewart Mills (Released - Mid Season) Ben Hannant (North Queensland Cowboys) Martin Kennedy (Sydney Roosters) David Hala (Gold Coast Titans) Josh Hoffman (Gold Coast Titans), Ben Barba (Sharks)
RE-SIGNED: David Stagg (2015) Corey Parker (2016) Justin Hodges (2016) Lachlan Maranta (2016) Jarrod Wallace (2016) Dale Copley (2016) Corey Oates (2017) Ben Hunt (2017)
2015 Coach Wayne Bennett – The living legend returns home after winning 6 P’ships here. He has ravaged the playing list and appears to have made some very astute calls despite some of the big names that he sacked before losing Darius Boyd (6 months) to injury which may turn out to be a blessing . He still has some work to do and 2016 is more likely to be their big year.
TO WIN PREMIERSHIP: Only won 5 from 12 away games in 2014 and lost their last 5 on the road. The first thing new coach Benny needs to do is to get his team winning away from home. Boyd getting a long term injury creates many options and “Billy Slater clone” Greg Eden may get a start now in the early rounds. Anthony Milford is one of the true genuine super star talents in the NRL and he has never had a coach like Bennett so the mind boggles what we may see, but first I expect a focus on defence and playing out 80 minutes. Milford is the club’s best fullback but they have plenty of other contenders and not many able to play 6 although I love it when Hodges moves in to play a pivot role, he is so dangerous.
Ben Hunt completed 2014 as the halfback with the most tries, line breaks, tackle busts, run meters, kicking meters and kicks. Impressive stats but he has a long way to go with tackle five options and running the team as the general. Having two running half’s in Milford and Hunt will be great for scoring points but they are both poor defenders and obvious targets for teams. Hunt and Copley both made 19 line breaks in 2014.
I am going to be fascinated to see how some of the big names are managed with some of these dynamo forwards. I have a huge opinion of Corey Oates , James Gavet, Mitch Garbutt and especially Joe Ofahengaue. If Justin Hodges stays sound then Jack Reed has a problem as Dale Copely is vastly superior. Also Alex Glenn was a favourite of the previous coach and it remains to be seen if he is in Bennett’s top 13 plans. Matt Parcell looms as a 2015 find with the reputation as one of the fittest and fastest players in the NRL. The Broncos have to back up from a pre-season match in the UK, never a good thing to do and have a very tough draw.
Dale Copley, Matt Gillett, Corey Oates and Jack Reed all had off-season shoulder surgery.
