[2025 Trial] Broncos vs. Titans

[davidp]

I like that Bryce and Koellner are getting time as well

It is great to see Walters out of the way with the dummy half role and back into the halves where he failed to crack the wooden spoon west tigers team.

He will be our #9 and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it.

I know results dont matter but if titans don't smash us they are in for a long year lol.. they have 10-11 of their top 17, including 3/4 of their spine, and we have 5 of our top 17 and 0/4 of our spine.

It looks like it is going to be a sell out. Most of Toowoomba does go for the broncos. 1% goes for a club in NSW cough Cough my mother

Interesting Mariner who's tipped to be the centre round 1 is named on the wing.
Big Pete maybe onto something with the Shibasaki at centre after a few rounds.

I wonder if Walter’s selection at 6 is an indicator of him being at 14/utility. Not many other hooker options at 14 that would do a job covering at 6 if Reynolds/hunt go down.

Minimal starters named, and no starting spine players named at 1, 6 or 7.

No Mozer or Paix named.

Unless there is some other reason, would be safe bet that Paix and Mozer are going to be our dummy halves come Round 1. (As I think most assumed already).

On broncos website they said Paix has calf tightness

I think Mariner is almost certain at centre, but it's giving the other boys the last chance to Impress.

If mariner is centre then Arthur’s likely to be wing

I love Arthars on the wing... he was having an amazing game during the 2023 GF.

We need him to be taking more hitups in yardage, but he's safe under the high ball and has the ability to just bust the line out of nowhere.

Ever since he's come back from the wahs his run meters are up over 100m per game... prior to that he was down in the 70's so it's been a big jump ever since his loan spell at wahs.

Super underrated player, but stoked to have him at the broncs

Agreed - there may be some changes in first 6-8 games depending on form within and outside the team

May also be interesting if they play against bigger outside backs if they do horses for courses and change to adapt to opposition

This can work but must have a team first approach with really good communication amongst players and coaches

Interesting times ahead

Shibasaki will be our left centre round 1. Mariner left right out unless he seriously impresses in trials.

I dunno dude, I dont see too many changes post round 1 (except for injuries/suspensions, Mam returning, and/or we just really suck).

They've had a whole pre-season (and upcoming trials) to pick a team. Regular season is for winning, not testing things out.
