Message: [QUOTE="Skathen, post: 3629825, member: 8789"] An old metric for how the Broncos were tracking this time of year was our origin representation. Even in recent times we had Walsh, Cobbo, Staggs, Capewell, Flegler, Patty and Haas - 7 out for Origin, this year it's 4. Staggs while injured was very unlikely to get picked anyway. Cobbo sneaks into the 17 and could be called to defend in the middle of the park which is concerning. Walsh basically Bradbury'd the position over KP. I'd say Slater will be good for Walsh - but he should be feeling pretty lucky to be there given his recent consistency issues. I've started losing the faith this year. Our defense is woeful - last year we would bounce back attacking set after set. We crack more often than not now. Unless we can start bringing the points conceded per game to back under 18/match, I don't see us putting up any real challenge this year. Exciting attack against a good defensive team like Panthers equals a loss pretty much every day of the week if you can't back it up with high quality defense to cover for your errors chancing your hand every set. Unless the team radically sparks during/post origin, we scrape into the 8 and bounce in the first week. [/QUOTE]
