You can pick his bad games on hand

Genuinely improving every year.

His running and kicking is much better.

Becoming a real Mr Reliable. Grimes has become Rance and Broad is becoming Grimes. Balta becoming Astbury.

Very strong leadership we have down back and excellently coached by Leppa!

When he's good he's very good which is very occasionally when he's bad he's horrid which is slightly more often but most of the time he's serviceable....very definition of an expendable player....his value will never be as high....sell! sell! sell! :shh

His bad games so far between maybe one out 8 or 10 not more often.Reliable plays on talls or smalls and huge running capacity very underated here he goes leaves a big hole for me who replaces him.

Which are his horrid games this year?

I think he's gone up a level in 2020. Better running and disposal.

His last one for a start....regardless my main point is it's laughable to suggest he isn't expendable...there's maybe ten at the most on our list who aren't and that would be above the average for the comp...  :shh

That's 1 game. I think he's had more good than bad.

As for expendable...well with Asbury out and Balta raw I am glad we have Broad. Honestly he's one of the tougher and meaner ones.

Always depends on what a team will pay. If GCS wants to make a trade then I'd be happy to look at their players too!

As long as we don't just trade him for Will "Jacob Ballard MK.II" Brodie..... :shh

..their Ballard(not likely) or 2MPeter(more likely) on the other hand.... :shh :shh

I hear they have a guy on the wing with a big tank haha.

Just go for the guns I think. Rankine, Rowell, King etc.

Money talks. Broad could well end up being a steak knife in a deal.

Hardwick said Broad’s inclusion would help solidify the team’s back six, which will be without Grimes for the first time since Round 3, 2019.

“He probably, from our point of view, was not playing that poorly, we just had players playing better,” Hardwick said at his press conference this morning referring to Broad’s recent omission.

“He comes in in good form and we are very confident he will be able to do the job.”

Not that it would suit this week but has Broad ever played forward?
