PRE-GAME [Round 18, 2026] - Broncos vs Sharks

Depends what you mean by failed defensively. He certainly doesn’t stop anyone from making metres in the middle
 
Regardless of what anyone says, I don't think anyone can give me one time Paix has failed us defensively?
He missed one straight through the middle in either dargs or titans... basically a carbon copy of when Sami went straight through Bhunt.

You sure about that? It didn't lead to a try because during the tries that Sami and Campbell scored, he wasn't even on the field.

He was off field for everything except the first try, which was an accidental ricochet off JGos and the Kini kick...
 
Must've been the Dargons game. Maybe the Holmes or Daniel Atkinson try. Because he wasn't on field for any of the other tries.
 
We will struggle to get 20 metres a set this game. May as well kick the ball into touch as much as possible because our kick chase will be non existent.

Yep Cooper Bai strolled straight past him for a linebreak that Tino ****ed up straight away

About 40sec into the highlights

 
If Walsh is picked for Origin I’d be inclined to start Mam at fullback, I know it is a small sample size, but thought he looked for his small stint against the Dragons. Then we can keep Duffy is the halves.
 
Brisbane desperately need a prop you say?

He's at Burleigh now. I'm sure his ex-coach from two different clubs had absolutely nothing to do with it.
 
Sharks are absolute pretenders.
Play like we did last night and we'll win.

Edit: ah right, origin.

Sharks are still trash.
 
Walsh was a fullback at high school and Meninga. Off the bench for Qld in 2019 but fullback for Australian Schoolboys.

The only game at 6 I can remember is for Dolphins in Cup in 2021 his second and last Cup game. I can't speak for the Nerang Roosters though maybe he did play six there.
Your probably right but I'm just going off what Walsh said in an interview. I still think he plays like a half thrust into fullback.
 
To make the eight you typically need 12 to 14 wins. We are currently on 5 wins with 9 games to play, so basically we need to win every game from now on. It's time for the cavalry to arrive whether they are ready or not, along with some hard decision to be made by Madge with the future in mind, plus a whole lot of miracles:

Mariner to come back as we have so desperately missed his carries out of yardage. If impossible, laugh all you like, but I would be putting Bradley into the team over Arthars. His runs this season in Q-Cup have been dominant, and some bigger bodies not getting folded every set is exactly what we need.

Billy needs to have a blinder Sunday and come straight back into the side, preferably starting hooker. Mozer to come off the bench again and Paix to be dropped. Ezra to come back and pair Duffy in the halves. Madge to tell Hunt and Reynolds we will be trying out the youth as something different. If it works, Adam you may not get to play again but we will have you as 18th man. If it doesn't, Adam get yourself ready to play out the last few games of your career.

Patty to come back, Captain the side, and put in the best performance he has ever done. Semu also to come back and put in his best performance possible. Francis to make his debut off the bench and let the NRL know who he is. Hopefully Xavier is showing no signs of concussion today and we ask for the standown to be waived.

With that in mind my team is:

1. Perham
2. Karapani
3. Staggs (NSW wont pick him)
4. Anderson
5. Bradley
6. Mam
7. Duffy
8. P Riki
9. Walters
10. Willison
11. Piakura
12. Riki
13. Carrigan (c)

14. Mozer
15. Talty
16. Semu
17. Francis

18. Reynolds
19. Arthars
Forget the finals dude. They're not happening this season. We will be lucky to win a game for the rest of the year
