Kennedy’s been one of our best players this year. Fitz definitely shouldnt move him. Dykes will have to force his way into the team elsewhere other then fullback.
Being our most important player in attack and possibly the safest player in the comp under a kick isn't enough for some people.

So the question may be - can Dykes play centre if Will, BT and Hynes are all in form?
This is assuming Dykes is showing he belongs in NRL.
I think with Wills form, the only long term position for Dykes is 6. But how that plays out with trindall and Hynes remains to be seen.

I have concerns but no one is close to ousting him, can't see it happening for a while.

Don’t get me wrong I love Kennedy but he’s not elite..he has his weaknesses and can go missing in games

Fullback is an important spot one of the most important and if Dykes is an upgrade then why wouldn’t it be up for grabs ?

You’ve seen what Walsh has done for broncos this year

Agree on competition for spots. Happy to be patient with Kade though.

I’m still not up for joining the NRL’s Reece Walsh circle jerk. He’s fantastic when their pack is dominating, but he’s been dreadful in close grinding games. Lots of gaps in his game atm, and he’s getting VERY favourable treatment from the bunker.

People think he’s great because the commentators bang on about him constantly, even when the Boncos score 40m away from him and he doesn’t touch the ball in the whole set. They’ve got everyone conned.

SoO when he played a simple game he was a far better player imo. Week to week he has a bit of “chook with its head cut off” about him and makes a shitload of errors. Broncos are just good enough to defend their line.

You get the feeling Kennedy has another gear, but it'll remain to be seen if he slips the stick in or just grinds the gears.

If Kade can provide real competition for the spot the team can only be benefit.

Kade up in Nth QLD with the team again. Don’t get many injured rookies that travel interstate and sit in the coaches box most weeks all season long.
Shows how much Fitz believes in him and the experiences he is getting this year.
Can you bet on Rookie of the year? If so start saving your pennies for next year.

Yeah it’s just continued positive signs with this guy - think it’s stuff like frequently being in the coaches box which makes me dare to dream a bit more than I do with your average rookie

Looks like team are taking career to ensure the ACL is as minor a setback as possible in his development.
