2023 Brisbane Broncos Deep Dive - NOT The Footy Show Episode 280

Join Robb Cox and Warrick Nicolson for Episode 280 of NOT The Footy Show as we go on a deep dive into the Brisbane Broncos' Roster and Recruitment for the 2023 NRL Season.

What has happened to the glamour club of Rugby League since Uncle Benny departed and just how long does Kevin Walters have left in the coaching hot-seat? 

Reece Walsh is a heck of a big name signing - just remember he's still only a kid - but the Broncos want to be an NRL powerhouse again sooner rather than later so how good do they have to be to keep Kevvy employed? 

Key talking points about the Broncos in 2023 are:  
  • If Kevin Walters is not long for the coaching world - who is the coach (or player?) that Ben Ikin and Dave Donaghy have lined up to replace him? 
  • Can ARey's hamstrings hold up to the rigours of a full season - and if so is he enough to get back into the Top 8? 
  • Is Martin Taupau a good fit amongst the young Brisbane forwards? 
  • The backline is packed with tryscoring weapons so how big a year is 2023 for Ezra Mam sitting between Adam Reynolds and Reece Walsh? 
  • The Brisbane pack has a few boom youngsters in it and ready to join it - how long til we see the best of Brendan Piakura - but is he even Brisbane's best prospect? 
  • And speaking of one who might be - is Blake Mozer the saviour at hooker that Billy Walters and Cory Paix don't appear to be? 
And we finish with giving our prediction for the finishing tier Brisbane will reach in 2023. 

Thanks for listening everyone.

2023 Canterbury Bulldogs Deep Dive - NOT The Footy Show Episode 279

Join Robb Cox and Warrick Nicolson for Episode 279 of NOT The Footy Show as we go on a deep dive into the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs' roster and recruitment for 2023. 

The squad that is quickly becoming 'The Team that Gus Built' is shaping up nicely entering 2023 with a bunch of key additions headlined by Reed Mahoney, Viliame Kikau and a new coach in Cameron Ciraldo - so we cover off Canterbury's Best 17 and overall strength of the squad and off-season recruitment by Phil Gould. 

Key talking points are:  
  • It's only taken Gus 18 months to put his stamp on the club - and with Stephen Crichton on board for 2024 - the transformation is stunning. 
  • Cameron Ciraldo's approach to shaping the Dogs like Penrith - how long will it take? 
  • Rookie watch for 2023 - Paul Alamoti and Jeral Skelton are the exciting ones but is that it? 
  • Kyle Flanagan's audition to be the long term halfback lasts how long? 
  • Will Josh Reynolds play NRL in 2023? 
  • How do you use Tevita Pangai Junior if you are Ciraldo? 
And we give our prediction for the finishing tier Canterbury will reach in 2023. 

We also spend 15 minutes at the end discussing the possibility of a player strike in regards to the CBA stalemate with the NRL.  

Thanks for listening everyone.

  • What's the next generation of Tigers look like?
