Round 8 - Broncos vs. Rabbitohs - Pre-Game discussion

[Bucking Beads]

I'm going to the game. And I also want to see 1910 get a run. As a fellow dispenser of sarcasm it would be a win for the little guys

Wait, you use sarcasm??

Wait, you use sarcasm??

Haha

Yeah it's subtle

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Haha

Yeah it's subtle

So subtle, it's subliminal.

I'm actually more worried with Hodges playing five eigth than I am with Hoffman. At least with Hoffman I know he's going to run the ball and work for a quick play the ball and do his fair share in defence. With Hodges, I don't think he's going to accept anything less than a money play everytime he has the ball and I get the feeling he'll be good for a few bone-head plays that really hurt us.

Spot on. Hodges is also just coming back from injury. I wouldn't risk it at all. Just leave him at centre and shift someone else into the halves. Copley can do a similar job to Hoffman I recogn and just put Maranta onto the wing. We've also played Thaiday in the halves before :P, any other back-rowers who can do this job? Oates? :P

 

[1910]

Implying that we're under-estimating Hodges play making abilities.. or the media is being lied to in order to shield a rookie from the spotlight?

Hopefully the later :p

1/3 of those statements are true.

Well I don't think Hodges will be worse than Hoffman at 5/8 so I think that's something. I'm actually excited to see the team play without Hoffman never passing from 5/8.

The media is being lied to, but it's not to shield a rookie, Hoffman is playing, isn't he.

Vidot might actually get passed the ball.

"He's one of the best runners I have seen with the football, but he just has to work on his passing game. That's where I think he falls down.

"You look at guys like Greggy (Inglis) and Billy (Slater), all the great fullbacks we have in our game, they have those real fast hands. "And Hoffy just hasn't learned that yet." hodges

Hodges was spot on with his comments and maybe Hoffman is just sticking to what he knows he can do.

Pitty Kahu hasn't played a few games of Q Cup otherwise he would have been straight in IMO

Game Day. Excited to be going to this one

Hoping for a big performance from the guys .... we'll really need to start well against the Bunnies and knock the fur off them early, otherwise they might steamroll us out of the contest.

Hoping Barba continues to improve also.

I was hoping to see Hodges make Goodwin his bitch.

you'll have to settle for Copley making Goodwin his bitch

 

[Super Freak]

Joel Reddy could be playing tonight.

They MUST give the ball to Vidot. Reddy is fucking useless.

 

[Super Freak]

I would have preferred Hodges, because he also plays aggressive and gets under the skin of his opposite centre.

I can settle for Copley, though.
