I'm gonna wait til the final list is set in stone and if it remains the same I'll put some money on the Roosters, alleviate some heartache when the Broncs lose by 13+

Lee completely out of the squad? What happened? Are we restarting the Corey Oates drought?

Likely just moving on to developing Mariner and seeing what he has to offer in the top grade.

we know what Lee offers and what we'll get if we need him in the finals.

whoever plays that centre spot is only keeping it warm another few weeks until Herbie returns

Not liking Niu at fullback or Turpin on the bench.

I think it'll take injuries to Tesi and Turpin before Kev replaces them just like last time when everyone hailed Kev as a genius for the roster change and takes the glory for the winning streak.

Problem is, we don't keep winning and we won't make the finals. If we win a couple and lose a couple we may well limp into the finals and get belted like it's 2019. After the last couple of months that would be awfully deflating.

We need to be winning, now.

swapping Lee for Mariner won't be the difference between winning and losing. Lee isn't an elite player to begin with

Are you saying I need to find a gypsy to make some dolls for the sake of the team? Sorry guys.

Isn’t it time to start ramping up and making statements for the finals? Why would you develop a rookie at this part of the year? Lee needs to maintain match fitness and his combination with Oates as well.

Have Newcastle at home next weekend. Apart from the GC, they would be the worst team going round. Still not a guaranteed 2 points. Not an easy run home though. A loss this weekend certainly tosses up a few scenarios.

it won't matter because Herbie will be back in a couple of weeks and will take his spot back.

not a bad idea to see if Mariner can handle the top grade before possibly having to throw him in the deep end in a finals match

I hope you’re right. Momentum is a big thing in sports and I hope the broncos can build some in the next couple of weeks if we’re serious about finals.

Without Ponga, they are definitely the worst team

Hope tesi has a blinder. I wanna see big del crowing from the roof tops

Obviously I see something some folks don`t .
Apparently Kevie and his fellow selectors think he has more positives than negatives ?

How do players improve ? By playing ...

Obviously I still think he has deficiencies as we've spoken about, but at the end of the day he's a bronco and I'd love for him to carve up.

No downsides to that.

If only we played TMM and let him continue to improve.

Doesn`t have the wheels that the best athlete ever seen has .
Cobbo , Mariner , Tesi ,Ezra all express . See a trend ?
