I think last year overshadows exactly where our team is in its development. We had EVERYTHING go our way last year. We barely had any long term injuries or suspensions, we also had players burning from their fall from grace the year before and even the backups were in really, really good form...
If memory serves me correct Farnsworth signed a one year deal to see how we were going. Then when we were top of the table after 7 rounds decided to sign with Dolphins…🤷♂️
Why sign a one year deal to see if the club is going in the right direction, just to jump ship when they are finally going...
Ezra played his best game of the season tonight. Running the ball and putting in defensively. People forget this time 2 years ago he was part of the pre-game entertainment. Kid will be a gun in 2 years time.
Way too early prediction of selected 17.
1. Sailor
2. Arthars
3. Staggs
4. Mariner
5. Oates
6. Rogers
7. Mam
8. Jensen
9. Walters
10. Willison
11. Piakura
12. Riki
13. Hetherington
14. Smoothy
15. Tapau
16. Karapani
17. Mozer
18. Paix
Well struggle to name a 19th player. Will get worse if...
I’m always an optimist. This season is clearly gone unless we do an ‘08 Parramatta, but we saw glimpses of what our future will be in 2 or 3 years time. Just think what Walsh and Mam will be like in 2-3 years time? Walsh stood up big time tonight and Mam finally found his mojo. Imagine that 40...
I asked my mum to play rugby union at high school (went to private school) she said, “no.” Thank goodness she did, because I reckon I would have quit after getting tackled once.
I think we meet the Panthers at the exact wrong time of the season. The way to beat them is to use attacking flair. It is really the only way to break them down. The only other way is if they have an off night, which only happens once a season and good teams never have off nights against us...
You’re probably looking at Hetherington playing that right side 2nd row position or you could even be looking at Karagapani (sp) or Oates being starting 2nd rowers.
Here's one out of the box. Smoothy played a fair bit of lock against the Warriors and didn't look too bad. Riki has the size to play at prop, so we could see him move there and Smoothy start at lock. Or if Jensen plays we could see both Smoothy and Mozer on the bench with Smoothy used more as...
Perhaps I’m an absolute nutter but we looked good tonight for the 8 sets we actually held the ball. We held the ball for 5 minutes and scored 2 tries.
But, FMD why were we so loose with the ball for the rest of the game? Why was there no plan to play wet weather footy? Diabolical!
There’s been at least 4 games where we have been by far the better team, Cowboys, Dolphins, Raider and Eels. The Cowboys’ win, has been easily our best win and was well and truly an 80 min effort.
Every other game we haven’t valued possession.
Anytime I've been at Broncos training Cobbo is practicing place kicks and drop goals. However, he is not at the level of Walsh, Staggs or even Madden. But, I'm sure if he became a regular kicker he would be good at it.
