THE Broncos are facing a backline crisis — they have too much talent and it could cost them Dane Gagai and Jordan Kahu.
The Broncos already have six first-grade calibre outside backs signed for 2016 and signing Gagai and Kahu would make it eight genuine starters battling for five positions.
Eight outside backs, who all expect to start, is too many for one club.
Kahu is wanted at Red Hill but has received significant interest from other NRL clubs.

Kahu told The Courier-Mail he was in no rush to make a decision on his future and would sort it later in the year.
Gagai is weighing up offers from Brisbane, St George Illawarra and the Gold Coast and will decide his future within a fortnight.
It is believed one deal on the table for Gagai is worth $600,000 a year.
Gagai's club Newcastle have recently become favourites to re-sign the strike centre.
Brisbane's plethora of outside backs means they cannot match the money being offered by other clubs.
Brisbane also could not guarantee Gagai a starting centre spot.
The Broncos have already signed outside backs Justin Hodges, Dale Copley, Jack Reed, Lachlan Maranta, Darius Boyd and Corey Oates for next year.

Brisbane are also poised to re-sign centre Tom Opacic, a 103kg 20-year-old who Wayne Bennett rates highly.
Just finding room for Kahu will be a stretch.
If Kahu and Gagai are signed, Reed, Maranta and Oates would be at risk of having to battle away in the Intrust Super Cup each week.
Kahu, nursing a hamstring injury, said he wanted his football to do the talking.
"If I am playing good footy mate, it (his future) will work itself out," Kahu said.
"I am not thinking too far ahead of myself with that stuff.

''I just have to play the best I can during the next five or six months.
"I am only worried about performing well and doing my job.
"This is the best I have played in the NRL but it is not the best I can play."
Winger Daniel Vidot is also off-contract but is trying to find another club before the June 30 cut-off.
It is unlikely the Broncos will re-sign Vidot.
Brisbane are entrenched in the top four, having won four of their opening five games but that has increased the interest in their roster after they lost to Souths in the season opener.
