Assuming both Boyd and Hodges are not picked / unfit.. who gets the spare backline spot?
1. Slater
2. Chambers / Gagai
3. Inglis
4. Chambers / Gagai
5. ??
Copley - I really dont think he is ready. Hasnt had a great year so far.
Lee - Been very, very ordinary
Maranta - Surely not.. please...
To answer your question Pete, i havent seen taylor play and the fact you even ask me shows you are missing my point
I honestly believe, we could put ANYONE in the broncos team at 6, and get the same results we are getting now. Milford is MIA.
We are winning without a 6. Kahu could play...
Moylan has a better passing and kicking game than milford right now but do you see the panthers moving him to 6 even when both soward and wallace are out? They have played a 2nd rower, and a hooker there before moving moylan. You know why? Because moylan plays best at fullback and even though...
Yeh, this whole "we have no alternatives" is a massive cop out. Hodges played 6 last year and did a pretty damn good job. Much better than when he plays fullback. Hodges is an alternative so why cant he play 6?
It is constructive! I am saying "literally anyone" because atm, Milford is a passenger and it may as well be peter wallace, shane perry or stu kelly playing at 6. It doesnt matter who is there when they arent doing anything! What im saying is that we could put boyd there, kahu there, niko there...
If Big Pete is correct, and i dont think he is, in saying milf is the best 6 at our club, then the broncos are in deep shit. He is playing like shit. Boyd has shown more in his career so far to suggest he is a better 6. The way i see it, we are winning games without a 6 right now. Milf is...
Totally meaningless. He has a 5/7 win rate at 6 for the broncos, but that doesnt mean he has been good, or even above average. He has been mediocre to average in all of his games except the one where he scored 2 tries (neither of which were the result of any playmaking or half skills).
The...
Absolutely 100% correct. The moment he was touted as being our 5/8 i said exactly the same thing. He has never shown any ball playing or playmaking skills in his first grade career. Hodges, boyd, kahu etc all have better passing games than he does. He is a ball runner first and foremost. He...
He is not our long term 5/8 yet. Lets not lock that in because surely, if he keeps this form up, even Bennett will have to admit its not working. And, even if he is our long term half, why couldnt he move him to fullback for 40 mins to try get a win. It doesnt mean hes wrong, it doesnt mean...
I dont think Hunt shouldve played tonight. He was clearly hampered by whatever injury forced him from training yesterday. Could see the reluctance to run a mile away. Anyone know what his injury was? Seem he was scared to run or step so maybe hammy?
This is the really worrying thing. Bennett is stubborn, we all know that but we have now lost Boyd, kahu, maranta and hodges, and STILL milford didnt get moved. Is Bennett the only person in the entire NRL community that cant see milford is struggling in the halves. What harm wouldve come...
I know not many will agree, but Bennett is a stubborn fuckwit. Boyd, kahu, maranta and hodges all go down, and yet Milford still doesn't get moved to the back. We buy him as one of the best, most exciting fullbacks in the game and he's not even 5th choice fullback? **** off.
Hodges at 6, milf at 1, Copley in centre. That would work and work well. Hodges showed last year he can handle 6. Better passing game than milf and neither have much of a kicking game.
