These commentators talking Offa up, what game have they been watching?
 
Seibold is a Harvard student. He can surely figure out who the plodders are
 
Bird has likely trained on the left all off-season, but if Roberts is out long term move him to the right.
 
Whenever we make a break, Boyd isn't there. When the storm make a break, Boyd is right there, just doesn't fucking do anything.

Come on, not every team can have a Slater/Tturbo/Tedesco/Inglis/Barba/Ponga/Edwards/DWZ/Gutherson/RTS/Hughes/Milford can they?
 
He offers more than Boyd and Macca.
Macca makes 50 odd tackles, Boyd does literally nothing. I agree macca needs to bring more in attack, but for an opposition team its very easy to defend when you know that their fullback is literally 0 threat to anyone ever.
 
As long as this team continues to carry complete plodders like Boyd, McC and Nikorima, we are going nowhere.

I agree, first game hyperbole aside those 3 players have been problematic for years, can be optimistic but a spine involving those 3 is not winning anything.

You forgot a couple, Clokstad, Kahu, Moylan, Gordon, Brimsom,
 
Gillett belongs on the right edge. What a waste in the middle

im over hearing about maccas tackle count.
 
Anyone still think Staggs is pushing Bird or Roberts out of the 13 lol? He's been trash, don't even look remotely dangerous down the right without Roberts.

Really hope his injury is minor, our entire right edge relies on him.

Be fair, he’s probably hardly trained there. He also looked one of the few slightly threatening players.

Will be interesting to see how long Roberts is gone for, doesn’t sound good.

50 tackles is great except he has absolutely nothing left in the tank after 40 tackles. He needs a rest and someone like Turpin to come on for impact. There’s tackles where Macca barely makes it to dummy half to pass it he’s that tired.
 
Pros: Despite Melb totally dominating, the Broncos managed to stay in it (sort of). Gillo and Lodge were outstanding. Bird was solid.

Cons: Roberts is a massive loss, Oates looks to be favoring his knee, this current spine isn't going to threaten anybody. This side is going places but definitely not this year.

Kodi to super sub. At least in the middle he shouldn’t get found out as much in defence

I think we can still do okay this year. Drop boyd or move him to the wing, and bring in O'Sullivan for nikorima and put nikorima as the bench utility. Can come on and be that spark he did well in 2015. Boyd doesnt do enough in attack or defence to be our fullback anymore. He played every game last season and was useless for them all, and said he is feeling fitter than ever but was abysmal in the trial against titans and mud again tonight. He just doesn't have it.

And a lot of those 50 tackles he is getting carried 10+ metres. Some of his tackles are very ineffective.
 
All that money for Bird and Oates is the man. Sorry but Bennet is a fuckwit.

He started hitting well, but yeah it still happened
