Broncos Vs Cowboys - Team list, pre & post game discussion

[Black Philip]

Who would you pick for the game against the struggling Cowboys?
Personally I want us to go for the jugular as I am so angry about the game today.

1. Hunt
2. Boyd
3. Moon*
4. Hodges
5. Kemp
6. Lockyer
7. Wallace
8. Hannant
9. Ennis
10. Kenny
11. Thaiday
12. Parker
13. Carroll

14. Eastwood
15. Taylor
16. Sims/Clinton (At least one of those two need a run in Queensland cup to get their **** together)
17. Stagg (I can't find a spot for him starting, but he is the best option we have as a utility at the moment)

* Moon needs to be given a shot at Center for the rest of the year IMO. I think he could be very damaging.
Can't find a spot for Marsh either I'm afraid.

Re: Broncos team Vs Cowboys

I'd like to see Hoffman get a run in the centres, and at the moment, I don't ever want to see Stagg in the backs. EVER.

And IMO, a fit Marsh belongs on the bench.

When Hodges returns:

1. Hunt
2. Boyd
3. Hoffman
4. Hodges - Moon until Hodges returns
5. Kemp
6. Lockyer
7. Wallace
8. Hannant
9. Ennis
10. Clinton
11. Thaiday
12. Parker
13. Carroll

14. Eastwood
15. Taylor
16. Sims
17. Marsh

I'd be happy with Scotty's team.

Although I thought Hodges wasn't due back for another two weeks. If so, I'd give Eastwood a run in the centres (at least he has some footwork and it would give him the opportunity to run wide where he should be) with Marsh coming on to the bench.

Re: Broncos team Vs Cowboys

Hodges - the week after next.

Moon would be the logical choice for left centre, yeah.

But who's your utility who can play 9, 7 or 6?

16. Sims/Clinton (At least one of those two need a run in Queensland cup to get their **** together)

[eusa_clap.gi Well said mate.

I'd have Clinton do the first shift and if it does wonders for him... Sims gets a stint too!

 

[rnabokov]

Re: Broncos team Vs Cowboys

I thought Clinton and Sims played ok today in a total rabble of a team.

If anyone needs a run in Qld Cup it's Parker imo.

Re: Broncos team Vs Cowboys

I think attitude more than bulk changes is the key to our season turning the corner next week.

1. Hunt
2. Kemp
3. Boyd
4. Moon
5. Manihera
6. Lockyer
7. Wallace
8. Hannant
9. Ennis
10. Taylor
11. Thaiday
12. Stagg
13. Carroll

14. Clinton/Kenny lean towards Kenny if fit
15. Parker
16. Eastwood
17. Marsh

Sims gone needs to wake the #### up as does Clinton

Re: Broncos team Vs Cowboys

wtf... the media were saying Hodges was due back against the cowboys

 

[renouf]

Re: Broncos team Vs Cowboys

rna just said the week after next, so round 20

he got 6 weeks, we had the buy last week so that doesn't count so he still has another week to go

 

[Alec]

Re: Broncos team Vs Cowboys

Injuryupdate.com.au says Round 19 for Hodges...I always thought it was that as well.

 

[renouf]

Re: Broncos team Vs Cowboys

nrl judiciary says he got 6 weeks, he can't be back next week

 

[Black Philip]

Re: Broncos team Vs Cowboys

Origin isn't counted for one of those game is it?

 

[renouf]

Re: Broncos team Vs Cowboys

Here is one of the many articles claiming he would be back for round 19

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008 ... tion=sport

Heres another one:

http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/stor ... 89,00.html

"The cavalry will continue to return for the under-strength Broncos a week later when centre Justin Hodges comes out of suspension in the local derby against the Cowboys at Dairy Farmers Stadium."

 

[Fozz]

Re: Broncos team Vs Cowboys

Big League has Round 19 next to Hodgo. Not sure if that means available after the round or for.

Hmm...that was unhelpful!

 

[renouf]

Re: Broncos team Vs Cowboys

unless one of the origin games counts before the bye

 

[Fozz]

Re: Broncos team Vs Cowboys

They counted the test matches for Matai last year didn't they?

They certainly tried it with Falaago (I'm pretty sure i spelt that wrong) but it was turned down because the squad wasn't selected.

 

[Alec]

Re: Broncos team Vs Cowboys

IIRC Buderus tried getting himself available for Test selection when Smith first got the hooker role, so he would miss out less weeks next season. I'd imagine SoO games would count too then...

 

[Aeetee]

Re: Broncos team Vs Cowboys

True - Do origin games count? Surely they can't.

Yeah pretty sure the 3rd origin would be counted as one, he would have got picked for it if he wasn't suspended.
