PRE-GAME Round 10 - Broncos vs Roosters

[holdzy]

Surely Segeyaro is playing?

 

[Culhwch]

Who drops off that bench for Segeyaro, though? Is it the ultimate double bluff - don't name him so the Roosters think he's definitely playing only to not actually play him? Genius.

possibly TPJ ... he reportedly trained away from the main group due to back spasms.

Yeah given the troubles he had last week he could not play this week perhaps.

Roosters have the edge in the backs and we have it in the forwards.
Could be interesting.

Roosters have probably the best prop in the game at the moment. Their forward pack is very good. Not to be underestimated at all!!

 

[Slippin Jimmy]

Their forwards made ours look very ordinary in our earlier clash.

 

[Alec]

Their forwards are fucking excellent, and they are also better organised than ours too. SST and JWH are the best starting front row pair in the NRL atm.

I probably drop TPJ, first he’s not very fit, and then there’s no million dollar forward in Rooster, so he’s got nothing to prove......

 

[Accept]

Don't kid yourself. They have us easily covered in every single aspect= another blowout.

Ironically the same media who was saying JWH was finished toward the back end of last year is the same saying he is one of the best in the comp!
The fact that they are winning, making linebreaks galore and scoring plenty of points are giving their forwards extra rest periods and less workload.
The tigers pack were gaining the ascending when it was 6-6 on he 35th minute and then Latrell happened just before half time.

Lodge, Haas, Gillet and Pangai would walk into the Chooks starting side. We are more than capable of matching and trumping their middles with the right attitude.

This is what I said last time we played and we got bitch slapped all over the park

 

[McHunt]

Turpin has this.

Agreed unfortunately.

I dunno what the media was saying, I'm just saying what I think. Their forward pack can also perform better thanks to some other factors, that's true too, but it doesn't change the fact that it's making them play well. You could say the same thing about the Storm, they wouldn't be as good without Cam Smith, but they do have Cam Smith.

They are better organised than us and they often have their back lines ready to attack even early in the sets, which does help the forwards too. Our talented forward pack means nothing if they can just get picked off because everyone is bunched up in the middle of the field.

I think the only spot one of our forwards could break into their starting side is at lock. They could definitely fill up that bench though.

I do think if we just took all the forwards and nothing else, we'd be on top thanks to the bench. I think their starting pack is better, for now, while Haas is still developing and SST is in monster form. But then you add all the other little things and their pack can perform better thanks to them.

Roosters looked fucked at the end of their game. They have 5 day turnaround while we have 7 and are full of confidence. Let's not forget they played their game on a D grade pitch. We are right in this.

 

[Sproj]

1. Tedesco
2. Oates
3. Mitchell
4. Manu
5. Whoever is there for the Roosters
6. Keary
7. Cronk
8. JWH
9. Radley
10. Haas
11. Cordner
12. Gillett
13. SST

14. Aubusen (however you spell it)
15. Lodge
16. Joffa
17. Staggs

Roosters definitely have the edge, particularly and noticeably in the spine.

Fifita all day over Aubusson and I'm guessing you mean Tupou on the wing??
