Round 19 - Broncos vs Warriors - Pre-Match Discussion

[ivanhungryjak]

This game is going to be the game where both Fullbacks just get completely smashed in defence. Or at least will if Broncos chase their kicks instead of skipping up slowly in a line holding out their arms looking for a cuddle.

It wouldn't take a genius coach to make sure bombing Barba is a part of your game plan either.

No it wouldn't, and it wouldn't take a genius to know that to help prevent that we need to put more pressure on their kickers.

Something we don't do very well at all.

Because when we do it results in a penalty. Same reason why every other team gets quick play the balls and we don't.

 

[jarro65]

Gillett out.

 

[Big Pete]

If that's the case I'd like to see the Broncos adjust their pack to...

8. Josh McGuire
9. Andrew McCullough
14. Ben Hannant
11. Alex Glenn
13. Sam Thaiday
10. Corey Parker

Or even push Lowrie to lock.

Oates off the bench is probably a better idea moving forward.

 

[jarro65]

Reed, Vidot and Oates dropped !!!

Breaching team protocol.... FMD

 

[Bucking Beads]

Please move Hoffman to the wing

 

[Taylor1921]

Jack Reed, Daniel Vidot & Corey Oates demoted for this weekend due to breach of protocol.

 

[Porthoz]

Jack Reed, Daniel Vidot & Corey Oates demoted for this weekend due to breach of protocol.

[Brett]

What protocol?

So I guess the team may look something like...

1. Hoffman
2. Maranta
3. Copley
4. Hodges
5. ???????
6. Barba
7. Hunt

8. McGuire
9. McCullough
10. Hannant
11. Glenn
12. Thaiday
13. Parker

14. Granville
15. Hala
16. Lowrie
17. Stagg

I'd like to see Kennedy get a call up here and **** Stagg off the bench.

 

[Alec]

Maranta will destroy.

 

[Mosyzlak]

Can't see Hook switching Barba and Hoffman with this many other changes coming in


EDIT: Can we have Milford on loan this weekend plox Sticky?

 

[Danoz Direct]

Probably Kahu on the wing and I reckon Wallace or Molo on the bench.

 

[Porthoz]

Probably team:

1. Barba
19. Maranta
20. Kahu
4. Hodges
5. Copley
6. Hoggman
7. Hunt
8. McGuire
9. McCullough
10. Parker
11. Glenn
12. Thaiday
16. Lowrie

14. Hannant
15. Hala
17. Granville
18. Stagg

 

[Alec]

Would be cool to see Marmin make his debut, though he'd possibly get eaten alive.

 

[Buzz Killington]

Already thought the Warriors would annihilate us, 40+ but if they play like they did last week vs Eels it could be even more.

 

[mrslong]

Surely thaiday will play lock.

 

[Porthoz]

Surely thaiday will play lock.

I'd rather have Lowrie there, Thaiday can't handle the lock position and is much more effective out wide imo.
