2020 Round 1 Line up

[Scorchie]

Lol at the talk of needing to protect Dearden when we have been running around with 18 year olds the last few years now

 

[In_Seibs_We_Trust]

This is the line up I would have:

1. Bird/Isaako
2. Farnworth/Coates
3. Staggs/Nui
4. Fifita/Nui
5. Coates/Farnworth
6. Milford
7. Dearden
8. Lodge
9. Turpin
10. Haas
11. TPJ
12. Gillett (Needs to show more or we need to try and move him on)
13. Carrigan

14. Paix
15. Flegler
16. Ofahengaue
17. Glenn (if he is still around)/Bullemor

As tough at it is to do, I would let Oates walk. That money could be best used elsewhere.

Fifita would be devastating at centre this early in his career and he can take Gillett's spot once he is gone.

Forgot Darius FF. No way he wont be there.

Agree but Dearden is hardly FG standard. Why dont we just run out Alf

Mein kampf was pretty popular too, but people may take umbridge if someone started spewing that crap out on their social media/forums

Heard that was a good read. Written by Matty Lodge right?

 

[I bleed Maroon]

1. Bird/Milford/Holmes?
2. Oates/Farnworth
3. Staggs
4. Boyd/Fifita/Mitchell?
5. Isaako/Coates
6. Milford/Bird/Sezer?
7. Dearden/Sezer?
8. Haas
9. Turpin/Segeyaro/Paix/McC/Hodgson?
10. Lodge (c)
11. Fifita
12. TPJ/Gillett
13. Carrigan (c)

14. Segeyaro/Oates/Paix/McC
15. Joe O/Flegler
16. Gillett/TPJ
17. Flegler/Oates/Joe O

This is the situation as it stands, current roster furthest left, and I have to say, if the talk about Glenn and Gillett comes to fruition, our 2nd row stocks start to look reaaal thin, especially when you consider how suspension/injury prone TPJ can be. I honestly can't see both of them leaving. The club will retain one, and right now it's looking like Gillett. Not sure how I feel about that right at this moment. I assume they're choosing based on his contract which does not bode well for seeing off Boyd and McC.

If we can get our hands on someone like Sezer, then suddenly we do seem to be nicely flush with choices in the backline and spine. Perhaps the solution to our problem in the 2nd row is to begin Oates transition? He wants the big dough, it's time to get in the thick of it and earn it, because unlike the wing, there's no hiding in the pack, and he's fucking obsessed with coming up and in anyway despite that costing him a premiership. Farnworth can be told the wing spot is his to lose.

I'm also wondering if we're neglecting the 9 a tad at the moment with all the focus on the halfback and fullback. Don't get me wrong, I like Turpin a lot, and I'm quite happy to give him his chance, but as of right now, I can't say I'm all that certain about him. Call it being overly concerned if you like, it probably is, but after dealing with such shit in and around the ruck for so damn long, it's kind of high on my concerns list. Segeyaro is also highly suspect as a starting Hooker so he isn't really an answer. Was Paix the one that was being potentially groomed as a Hooker?

The reason I singled out Hodgson is just because he seems like the best "decent but not too pricey" option currently out there. He hasn't got the speed and flair of someone like Cook or the brains and manipulation of Smith, but he certainly gets the job done in the ruck farrrrrrrrrr better than anyone we have currently. Not clear on his contract situation specifically so I'm happy to be pulled up.

I'll be upfront, I fucking hate Mitchell. I honestly think he is a sooky little turd at times, which basically makes him another Boyd, just with a bigger body and balls.....However when I sit back and think about it, I'm sure we all thought of Hodges that way once upon a time, and look at his status among the fans nowadays. He wouldn't be cheap, and he may just be the exact personality we need to be rid of, but you can't deny his talent. It's there for all to see.

Mmm ... comparing the Bible which focuses on Jesus who told people to love their enemies, love people always, forgive ... to Hitler's book? It just doesn't get much sicker and weirder than that!
[automerge]1569390423[/automerge]

It makes him a crackpot for using the bible, to cherry pick elements of it - all mistranslated anyway for the bible nowhere condemns homosexuality for one, as an authority to legitimise bigotry, prejudice, racism, sexism - all things which lead to violence and oppression.

His is hate speech and if one considers the bible as the word of god, and that god stands for love, inclusion and forgiveness, it makes Folau the evil bastard that his hate speech shows.

He is completely unfit to wear the Broncos colours, end of story

He did not "cherry pick" - that is basic Christianity. That we are all sinful (if you're not in the list you're lying) and that Jesus accepts us regardless, if we repent. This is normal Christianity which has been preached for centuries!

I notice only one group were upset - homosexuals.

And you obviously have no idea of the Bible. Jesus Himself told many people to REPENT of their sins. To ignore sin is not loving and inclusive, its just cowardly.

Mate, there is no such thing as "basic" or "normal" Christianity. There are as many flavours of Christianity as there are prejudices and peccadillos buried in the human psyche. Those who pen the good book use it to lend absolute moral authority to their own particular brand of moral philosophy (and let us not forget the good book was penned by rugger buggers -not a good woman in cooee - says a lot hey.)

As for me, "no idea of the Bible" ? Well, part of my Masters was in theology separate to my years in the Catholic seminary so I know a little, and in my theology, there is no room for hate speech such as Folau's, which promotes and legitimises violence, exclusion and religious supremacy. Since time immemorial, Christians have slaughtered millions in the name of (their) god, and then gone back to their homes to masturbate, fornicate and abuse children.

As I said, Folau is an evil bastard and should seek forgiveness.

Flegler is so far away from what you want from a Lock it's not even funny. Carrigan & TPJ are the only two players we have who possess anything close to what you'd want from your 13, it has to be one of them.

Ok you missed the point of my comment. Just because it is in a book, popular or not, doesnt give you the right to post a qoute and expect no consequence for its content. I used mein kampf as an extreme to jighlight this.

However, There would definitely be a strong argument that across time, more people have died and more hate manifested under the guise of religion/religious beliefs than nazi fascism.

 

[Marty Deutschmann]

Looking likely we can't offload Bird.

I don't mind.. so long as he can get fit over the off season, he might be a decent fullback option.

 

[Fernando]

Flegler isn’t too different to some modern locks we’ve seen but I don’t mind either way, him or Carrigan.

On another note there’s a Fox Sports article about how Keary and Cronk work together. Stating the obvious but it reinforces how far Brisbane are off the pace with the spine (especially when you consider there’s Tedesco too), they really need to get their shit together this has gone on long enough.

This is a solid premiership winning side and could be close to what we will have next year.

Atheistic regimes literally killed millions over the centuries. Just a quick snapshot for you and keep in mind, these regimes all banned the Bible and were atheistic - USSR 62 million deaths; China 39 million; Cambodia 2 million; Vietnam 1.6 million; Poland 1.5 million; Russia 1 million; North Korea 1.6 million.

So, when it comes to being wrong ... you can be much more off than a few millions bodies mate. Try again.

On the other hand, Christianity is the force that gave us the legal system which prevails in the western world - the most free-ist and peaceful countries in history. Christian is credited for founding the education system as we know it today (first educating the untouchables in India), Christian organisations manage hospitals, aged care, hospices, and run thousands of aid centres around the country - all under the radar. So please ... before you comment ... do some research.

You are saying Folau is evil because he's quoted the world's most read book. So be it - if that's your schtick. Please look at the post I've responded to the other guy. The entire narrative of "Christians slaughtering" is a laughable and ridiculous claim based on ... well ... I'd say you read it on Google once heh?

In the Gospels, Jesus reserved his most stinging rebukes to those who purported to know the scriptures, but with their actions and words showed something completely different.

You're claiming to be a "Master in Theology" and then damning a man for quoting the Bible - well - I think Jesus was pretty clear in the Bible about people like you.
