We are gonna have some good players miss a spot for round 1, and I've got to say it's hard to argue with what maguire is obviously trying to do. Defence is his focus and rightfully so.
Tapau and te kura deserve spots but both will miss out. Mariner deserves a spot but will likely miss out...
Look at all the dolphins fans absolutely BURNING about the Broncos try lol....
Honestly sad how much we live in their heads and ironically they depend so much on us for survival.
Hope staggs is OK but mariner isn't a bad replacement....
Gos and Shiba have been great. Our left edge is impenetrable. **** attack, we have enough stars to make it happen, defence is king
Our defence looks fuckikg supreme.
I'm trying not to get excited as it's just trials but defence wins premierships and the only time we've let in tries all off season is when we've gone "ah, games over anyway". Unbelievable defence and resilience, complete opposite of last year...
"Give us an example of your past successful recruitments and why was it successful?"
I was put it up on broncoshq daily that you idiots should have made capewell stay one more year, and why do I know it was successful?! You fools let him go then paiakura played shit"
Maybe we have done it before but it seems like it's the 1st time we've done that and **** YE. Great move, and something we should have been doing for years if we haven't. Melbourne do it abs I'm certain a lot of other clubs do.
Wynumm uploaded a "high intensity" game against the Broncos to their instagram...
Broncos seemed at full strength. Didn't see much of the middles in the photos but the edges gave some insight.
Looked like shibasaki and gojewski were in the team, with mozer and reynolds playing with red bibs...
I know results dont matter but if titans don't smash us they are in for a long year lol.. they have 10-11 of their top 17, including 3/4 of their spine, and we have 5 of our top 17 and 0/4 of our spine.
Just an observation but I feel like reynolds is getting slept on a fair bit in the media, ans even us fans.
At no point during the year last year was he fit and we suffered bcos of it big time. He was gun in 23, think it gets lost bcos he had a bad gf but he dragged us there no doubt.
People...
I know he's not now but it has him listed as a 2nd rower on the qrl website. Are they just completely wrong or did he possibly start his career there/as one?
Really good feeling after that trial. Attitude and defence, seemed organised and never panicked. Some players were dissapointing, but no one had a shocker (madden did a try saving tackle, defended and kicked ok. And hoeter made some good red zone runs). Most played well.
On players I'm thinking...
I honestly think buzz rothfield has a head injury aye. Was just listening to a podcast with him it (desperate times for the footy) and he deadset went on about how the tigers will go so good with him raving on about how hard their training and about 10 mins later he goes broncos will struggle...
