PRE-GAME Round 5 - Sea Eagles vs Broncos

[Galah]

until 6 again kicks in.

That’s up to our discipline and the momentum we create. We need to not use the rule as a scapegoat as every other team has the same issue.

Was just taking a light stir mate. Completely agree

I smell a same game multi coming on...

You prompted me to go over and start having fun with same game multis! Couldn't stop myself from trying to jag a long shot result. Some of my multis are paying more than ten grand, such fun what? My mate, the one who won the 50grand on the sportsbet tipping comp a couple years ago reckons the Broncos are specials !! So I've had plenty of goes with the Broncos winning. Same chance as Lotto

We will win by 10 tonight. I'm confident. Coates double.

 

[Huge]

In training to be at the moment, but I was just a humble passenger in this instance haha.

Horizontal lift operator in training!! sorry

 

[Blindside Bronco]

Maybe we could win by 30+ just to throw everybody off.

I am very interested to see how the squad responds to everyone and their mother blasting them throughout the week

Expectations are low tonight to avoid disappointment. Would be happy for us to be not blown off the park and to show some grit in defence. Might be going against the grain here but I'd like to see Hoppa playing tonight. Would make me happy to see him take a leaf out of the old man's book and snot Dylan Walker several times before going into retirement.

TPJ back next week and hopefully Fifi won't be far behind. Going to be a rough start to the season relaunch but surely things start to get better when they return.

Just for reference, Milford is 23rd in the NRL for missed tackles this season with 13. Here are the halves with = or > him:

Nikorima, Luai, Moses, Moylan (in 2 games!), Lewis, Green, Taylor, Hunt, Marshall.

Milford also arguably defends alongside the worst defensive centre in the NRL, the worst defensive decision making winger in the NRL and a revolving door of an edge backrower due to injury (Fifi, Glenn, Bullemore and now Oates).

I'm happy to shit on his lack of involvement in attack, but let's be real, his defence is the least of our concerns right now.

So those you mentioned. How are their sides going. B Hunt one of the best if not the best defensive halves in the comp...then money got in the way. Sound familiar. 59 - blot means both our attack and our defence is fucked. Yes. Generally the best defensive side will beat the best attacking side any day of the week - particularly in a final. If we - Broncos- can get out defence working our attack will follow. If our most expensive player (ever) can’t or won’t give a **** so are we. So if you were the coach that’s what you would tell Milford - your defence is the least of our concerns right now. 59 unanswered points. Against. Wow!

I'm approaching this game from this perspective: look who is in and who is out, how many NRL games key players have had, like Paix, Coates and Herbie, T'eo 1st NRL game in 6 years, Oates 1st full game in the back row for however long he lasts, how long this team has had to work out their combinations and we are playing a top 4 side with 3 stars in DCE and the Turbo Bros..

Perspective here is key, although tackling and attitude will be important, and fingers crossed for that

Attitude is the main thing i am looking for.

I highly doubt our defence will be great due to the high number of changes to the lineup, but i am hoping for a real lift in intensity.

We’ve found Seibolds next post game presser script

Kinda hard to be an optimist with the shit show we are dishing up, no?

Love the optimism in here.

 

[Galah]

Every god damn time I try and have reasonable expectations knowing the situation we’re in but GOD DAMN IT I can’t help but get pumped! Lezzgooooo

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Man this place is gonna explode if we manage a win.

Can't say I think it's gonna happen though.

 

[Huge]

There'd be an inquiry into Manly betting if the Broncos won tonight! Betting for a huge upset is more exciting than not. Couldn't happen, could it? We know bigger upsets have happened but there's nothing to suggest it here.

Boyd and Milford are still defending on the one side. If Manly don't find a way to exploit that just like the Roosters did, I'm pretty sure Des will bury them alive.
