PRE-GAME Round 11 - Broncos vs Tigers

[Big Del]

Tough call .
Neither guy deserves to be dropped / benched . Hunt making that tackle while on one leg would have won him brownie points with Uncle wayne . Yet Kodi hasn`t let him down and looks to be gaining confidence .
Kodi on as lock at 25 -30 min mark ?

Playing Kodi at lock would almost end as badly as when we were forced to playing him on the wing for a period against Melbourne last year

 

[Accept]

Looks like Hunt has been ruled out for another week.

 

[Kimlo]

If fit I'm pretty sure Hunt will resume in his normal position. With KNik you'd have to think he'll come off the bench. Is there any reason or rule which prevents him from playing ISC immediately after playing a few minutes in the top grade ? I'd like to see him playing a big chunk of halfback to hone his skills this season but I'd also want him to continue to be rewarded for his excellent contributions to the Broncos.

I could be wrong, but I do remember there being a rule where you can't play in both grades. If you play in one, you're ruled out from the other for the weekend. Someone will correct me if I've got that wrong.

Jimmy has been cleared for this week
Hunt gets another week off. Will be back for the warriors game.

 

[ZeBigLebowski]

calling a big win here, with no second half scare.

 

[Crazy Sam]

It doesn't make sense to rush Hunt back in for tomorrow when we've been winning and are going to need him fully fit for the origin period. If we lose to the Tigers it won't be because he was missing.

I'm pretty sure commentators said in a Manly game that Matt Wright had played the majority of the reserve game before being taken off to cover an injury....so maybe there's different exceptions?

You can play reserve grade and step up but not the other way, I think.

It's very likely going to be played in rain, or a slippery track at the very least. I hate these type of games TBH.

Looks like it will be the case.

Should still get the win if we roll up our sleeves and play to the conditions. Not likely to be pretty though.

Beat the Dragons last year in atrocious conditions, was bucketing down, but kick started our run. Gillett had just come back from suspension. Mind you Benji was at his worst.

Oh yeah, i forgot about that tackle.. he just scored before that too and looked like he was gonna start playing off his tits for us.

ben Hunt will come back fresh. Only about half the season to go. hope he has a blinder for the rest of the year and we take out the big Prize. It would go a long way to healing the heartbreak of 2015, Amen.

 

[Brett]

R'Amen.

 

[winslow_wong]

How many games have we played this year in soggy conditions? We would win by plenty in dry conditions but now it could be one of those grinding games with some bs plays that usually go against us

 

[Horseheadsup]

Tigers have some flimsy defence. Roberts will find holes.

 

[1910]

If you play NRL before ISC game you can't play.
You can play ISC before NRL.
If you're named in the 17 you can't play ISC after NRL- thus Fai couldn't even last week.

Playing Lock would not be that much different in defence to playing hooker . I`d rather Maca stay on field and Kodi come on as another middle player .

Isolated on the wing jumping for bombs against specialist wingers is a different role all together .
