PRE-GAME Round 7 - Broncos vs Titans

[Xzei]

that looks about it.
if he does come in he doesnt have to do anything flash give croft the ball when he wants it make your tackles follow the ball and kick to a corner.

Trying to envision what the team would look like if Dearden does actually come in..

1. Niu
14. Isaako
3. Farnworth
4. Boyd
5. Coates
18. Dearden
7. Croft
8. Lodge
9. Luke
10. Haas
11. Glenn (c)
12. Pangai Jr
13. Ofahengaue

2. Oates
6. Milford
16. Kennedy
17. Te'o

?

Good looking team.

Big LOL at that headline

‘Broncos lock in next Locky’

Just like how Flegler is the next Webcke, how TPJ is the next Taumalolo, Haas will be the best ever prop to play the game, Fifita the best ever young forward to play the game, Staggs the next Berrigan.

Give me a fucking break, the charade is over. How about we compare players to past greats when they actually fucking win or achieve something.

That Suuali kid that Souths signed is one a hiding to nothing. Apparently a SBW and Inglis hybrid. **** me that one takes the cake.

We have Coates too who is the next Folau I think.

 

[Thelmus]

Broncos seemed pretty confident he would stay , a pitty if true.

Jesus, really ? **** if that's the case there's never been a weekend where rugby leagues had a 'good look' !! I couldn't care if he was cupping his balls just as long as he's where he's supposed to be. He was the only **** out there and still cops abuse on here.

Whilst Oates might have had some urgency in his call for help, this probably dammed isaako to reserves this week too. Seriously we need to be held accountable for stuff like this. The whole team does. That should never be acceptable with an opposition line spread out like that.
We need to start with our defence before worrying what our attack is like.

I think similar. Maybe the only difference may be with Oates starting 2nd row and TPJ to lock with Ofanhegaue to the bench. I actually don't mind that side.

I hope Dearden gets a crack. I'm a bit worried the pace will shock him though, particularly that the defence will be up on him a lot faster with the ball. It will be a lot faster than he remembers, less room to move, more bullshit from the refs etc. We looked pretty good with him last time, attack looked more organized.

Milf off the bench only if required.

Does anyone seriously think benching Issako is the answer to our problems? The mind boggles.

No one else here thinks that... but then again no one else here has been to Harvard.

I like having Luke in the team, a hard nut in close and if I remember correctly when his team gets within 10 metres of the opposition try line he always genuinely challenged the defence. I do think he seems to have lost a touch of speed with his distribution but I'm sure he's gained selectivity and calmness with his prior experience.

 

[holdzy]

Forward.

I know we're short of centres for this game, but I just read Shibasaki's remarks about him bludging during the covid enforced break and only now being up to speed. It sort of sums the guy up and i think justifies yet again why he was let go.

I only hope this was not the case with our boys as they do seem gassed every game we play. Additionally, they only seem to be there for the first half trying and come the second stanza we've got nothing in the tank. Is this inexperience? I'm more inclined to suggest it's simply piss poor preparation and planning that's producing the painfully poor performances.

P-p-p pick up a penguin.

I think this is exactly our problem. Milf looks like he put on a few kg for sure in the covid break. His running game looked much improved round 1 and 2. Contrast that with now and it is light and day.

The team as a whole for sure has a fitness issue and it is showing on the park with penalties and poor errors. Out of all the teams we probably should of expected us to come back underdone as we have the youngest outfit in the comp. Leaving young guys to be accountable to themselves is a big ask. I know they were probably monitored from a distance but there is different types of fitness that is required in a game of RL and sprinting on a treadmill or around a park is not going to get you game day fit.

I agree the team looks unfit, especially Milford. Which is what really ***** me off. Imagine getting paid 1 million a year to play and it being a struggle to keep yourself fit. Most people work for a fraction of what he earns, or in fact lost their job during the COVID lockdown yet these same people can fit regular fitness into their lives just for their own health, yet the millionaire can't bring himself to do the same.

That's our Milford. The guy makes playing weekday golf look like it was physically taxing for him.

One would assume from this photo that they do actually know each another.

So I guess the mystery remains around why they play like complete strangers

On the plus side he makes more metres in Golf.
