[I bleed Maroon]

Only thing I'm concerned about is fatigue after a grueling opening round, plus TPJ's judiciary date. Would realllly like to see Glenn back next week but slim hope.

 

[Unbreakable]

Broncos 58-0

 

[Black Philip]

Hopoate impressed me. If we're without Glenn and Pangai Jr, I would definitely give him a start.

Same here, he was a rock in defence and ran hard.

 

[Wolfie]

We might actually get tested against the Bunnies.

 

[Unbreakable]

It's inevitable at this point, I think the NRL will come to their senses overnight, I wouldn't be shocked if the games tomorrow are either played in empty stadiums or postponed completely.

 

[Culhwch]

We might actually get tested against the Bunnies.

For corona?

 

[Sproj]

It doesn’t matter who should / shouldn’t play based on form, etc. this week will all be about whether there is a game at all.

 

[nopatience101]

The NRL will have to play games to keep the lights on. I don’t see it being suspended unless players start to become infected.

This may have already happened depending on test results.

 

[Morepudding]

If TPJ gets suspended that's fucked. It wasn't late ands it wasn't high. No head contact at all.

I'd look to drop oates, move boyd to wing and Arthurs to left centre and farnsworth right wing. Boyd doesn't have the vertical movement at centre and it showed on a few occasions, and Oates is useless in every aspect.

Crowd will be insane

 

[theshed]

If the season gets canned I wished it would have happened before round 1 when I was still pessimistic about the season. Now the boys got me excited for the year they can’t go and call it off.

 

[the_next]

Oates needs to sit this one out. Put Herbie on the wing or at worst up Oates on the bench and let him known that he isn't currently first grade material.
He is one of our more senior players, he should be well past the shit he throw up last night.

 

[pagey]

I think everyone needs to remember Oates had a disruptive pre season , that being said he really needs to address his issues.

 

[winslow_wong]

Crowd will be insane

They should play crowd noise over the speakers. Make it sound like a Suncorp game instead of a Sydney game

 

[Socnorb]

Can't see why you'd drop Oates after 1 game. He made some errors , but his carries were good. He has more in the bank than that.
