PRE-GAME Round 7 - Broncos vs Titans

[rnabokov]

Bottom line for me is that without shapes and structures, zero organisation where nobody knows what is going on because nothing is going on, our players are just lost.

If you watched that game and honestly thought Croft was the biggest issue in the Halves then I’m sorry but you’re pretty much beyond help.

Never said he was our biggest issue. I am just stating the fact that he still a big issue and he can't just be let go because others are playing even worse. I would prefer Nikorima at halfback over him, he isn't a halfback. I would actually prefer him at hooker.

Titans are 3.00 in early markets next week..
That looks value for a speculative bet (and maybe its not that speculative).

Copley to score a try.

 

[Financeguy]

Copley to score a try.

And Wallace to run 200 meters and dominate Lodge...

 

[Purple Pills]

Can’t wait for team list Tuesday when Seibold announces an unchanged line up...

If one of Milford, Oates and Boyd aren’t at least dropped, I kind of hope we get what we deserve.

Go Titans

 

[Accept]

And Wallace to run 200 meters and dominate Lodge...

Wallace got dropped two weeks ago. Unlikely to feature in this match.

 

[Financeguy]

Wallace got dropped two weeks ago. Unlikely to feature in this match.

Yeah, was kind of a joke...

 

[rnabokov]

Yeah, was kind of a joke...

He'll still run 200 metres and dominate Lodge

 

[Accept]

Copley to score a try.

He got hurt last week. Probably won't be fit.

 

[Accept]

Yeah, was kind of a joke...

Oh, in that case. [emoji23]

 

[Thelmus]

starting with next weeks cripple fight, this is how we should line up

1. Isaako
2. Farnworth
3. Nui
4. Boyd
5. Coates
6. Dearden
7. Croft
8. Lodge
9. Luke
10. Haas
11. Glenn
12. Te'o
13. Carrigan

14. Paix
15. Flegler
16. Oates
17. Pangai

If Carrigan is suspended, start Flegler at 13, Ofahengaue gets a reprieve

If TPJ gets suspended, Ofahengaue gets a reprieve

If both Carrigan and TPJ are suspended, start Flegler at 13, Ofahengaue gets a reprieve Kennedy comes into the team.

The reason Milford should be dropped for Dearden instead of Croft is because, IMO, at least Croft is trying things ... I forget Milford is even bloody playing until the final 10 mins

whoever is playing worst out of Boyd and Nui loses his spot when Staggs is fit

I actually think Kennedy is playing better than a few of our starting team and deserves a shot regardless of suspension.
Keep croft at half and pair with dearden. Push Isaako to wing and bring nui to fullback.
1. Nui
2. Isaako
3. Farnsworth
4. Boyd
5. Coates
6. Dearden
7. Croft
8. Haas
9. Luke
10. Lodge
11. Oates
12. Glenn
13. Flegler
14. Milford
15. Kennedy
16. TPJ
17. Offa.
(Im assuming carrigan gets suspended and recite is fine)
Glenn/milf cover utility duties.
Tell the forwards to forget about offloads and go full tilt. We need to get momentum in this season, and quick play-the-balls is a must. Have them running deep either side of croft to pose doubt, with an aim to drive hard but low so to avoid wrestle, and finishing on your front.
We are standing too tall in the tackles trying to offload, but losing ruck speed.
Offloads should be kept to late in the count/around the twenty.
Keep errors to a minimum, and try and hold them to their half with tactical kicks, mixing in some 4th tackle options.
The problem with dropping milf is it weakens our kicking, so we must be prepared to mix it up with our kicking options. Our fullback needs to kick (both attacking and punting) and Luke needs to chime in also.
Kicking becomes easier if we win the ruck regardless so that must be the priority from here on in. That and changing the appalling attitude in defence.

 

[Dazza 92]

love how folk on here actually believe changes will be made....when Siebs says that, what he means is any suspended players will be replaced...

Thats your change...

Remind me again the definition of insanity...

 

[Mister Wright]

1. Niu
2. Issako
3. Farnsworth
4. Coates
5. Kennar
6. Croft
7. Dearden
8. Lodge
9. Luke
10. Lodge
11. Oates
12. Glenn
13. Pangai Jnr

14. Paix
15. Ofahengaue
16. Kennedy
17. Te’o

I don’t know, but with so many injuries and a likely suspension to Carrigan there aren’t too many options. It makes it even worse when your highest paid players are your worst performers.

I wouldn't move Coates, next to Boyd he will never see the ball.

They may as well just open the gates up at Lang Park next weekend. Anyone willing to go and watch these two absolute basket cases play each other would make contracting coronavirus only the second worst thing to happen to them that week.

 

[061ang]

This game is honestly Do or Die. If we lose this game, 2020 season is officially over for us (short of a miracle)

i'll be putting my name in the ballot to head to the footy
