PRE-GAME [Round 25, 2025] Broncos vs Knights

[Skathen]

I feel like that's an 8 week timeline for a grade 2 which would be the GF (occurred 1 week after Willison).. so the may not play again is potentially them being touch and go to play in a GF

Huge call too to drop any combo that's clawed us through to the GF for a player with no game time under their belt in 2 months as well.

I think Reyno was touch and go for Rd 27 vs storm... maybe the win over dolphins has Madge thinking he gets another week now.

Willison's timeline was the prelim final.

Mam and Cobbo they haven't specified, but it's been along the lines of may not see them again this year.

If we make the grand final with our current squad, do we bring Mam/Cobbo back if they're available? We must have played pretty well without them to make it all the way - will be a big risk imo.

Yeah thats why I think it's around that timeline... maybe around prelim or GF... if it was longer you just rule them out for the year

Todd Smith ALERT

Be prepared for wild momentum swings…

 

[Berry Barrigan]

No Piakura? That's a worry. Surely he gets the 17 at least if he's fit and healthy. Arthars off the bench is... interesting.

 

[Alfie magic]

Terrible bench. Does Arthur’s sit on his ass for 80 mins ?

 

[MrTickyMcG]

Yikes, it's grim when I look at the bench and think Baker would fit in nicely on there

I’d seriously think about medical retirement, chase a decent second rower …

 

[Sproj]

That bench, oof.

If we make finals, we will have earned it that's for sure.

Apparently the boys are heading to Maitland on Thursday. Seems almost like an end of year bonding camp.

Does Madge know someone with a winery? Can't wait for Buzz's geriatric column!

Four day camp!

Mam was getting slower every game he played, there's something going on with that knee. Same side he did his hammy too. I remember someone on here mentioning it's a long term issue and if that's the case I'd rather him just sit out and get it right for next season.

Not helping us much with sections of the media accusing Newcastle players of giving up against the cows Giving up on their season their supporters and their jersey.
FFS they'll be steeling themselves for a do or die effort.

 

[Santa]

What's Arthars supposed to be doing off the bench!?
