Broncos 2012/13 Offseason Thread

[Big Pete]

NFL just can't compete with the allure of the NRL. :winky:

 

[Browny]

He's too athletic to be a prop in Rugby Yawnion

 

[Porthoz]

I swear I cannot recognise the guy, and I know pretty much anyone in Broncos colours...

 

[Browny]

He's the Aussie guy whose about to get drafted into the NFL for a squillion dollars

 

[BRC088]

He could buy the NRL when he's done.

 

[Black Philip]

He's Jessie Williams. Nose tackle for Alabama state university, he just won a big championship with them. 193cm tall, weighs 145kgs, can bench 272kgs and run 36m in 4.7 seconds. Would be nice to see him take a hit up for curiositys sake :tongue_smilie:

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Did anyone see the tweet from the Broncos this afternoon "Justin Hodges rushed to hospital" ?
Absolutely crapped myself until you read further and it's about a charity thing at the P C Hospital. #bastards

As much as it is the scourge of modern rugby league, it's good to see the coaching staff spend more time on the wrestle. It's become so important to win the ruck battle and unfortunately, it looks like its here to stay.

These were my thoughts exactly when I read this this morning. I hate the wrestle but it is clear that it is here to stay so it is fantastic to see that the boys are really starting to take it seriously. With our pack would should be able to really dominate the ruck area right up there with the storm

 

[vertigo]

Over the last couple of years we've been shit at holding people down, more often that not it seems like we just let them get up and run at a broken line.

 

[Kimlo]

Well with Kearney on board I imagine he'll have a big influence on the wrestle.

Is that not a tad hypocritical ........?

To hate the Storm for doing it and yet glad to see we are now going to be focusing on it.....sounds hypocritical like to me.

I've never had a problem with the wrestle .......part of the modern game. Every team is already doing it to a certain degree IMO ......Storm just seem to get the bad wraps for it.

 

[Big Pete]

I sometimes think that too Fourex.

Then I think, which team started using the chicken wing or even an ankle freakin' lock? Could be tunnel vision, but all signs point to Melbourne.

 

[Porthoz]

Yeah, I agree that we definitely need to work on the wrestle, as much as I hate the slowing of the game down. And as good as the Storm are at it, I never want to see the Broncos get down to the dirty shit (chiken wing, grapple, etc...) we've seen coming from Bellamy's depraved mind.

How is it hypcritical? I'm seeing I don't like it yet its part of the game so they are stupid not to work on it. What's wrong with that?

 

[broncos4life]

I don't want them to be doing the chicken wing etc. all I said was its a part of the modern game and they need to become better at it. It's like if the rules changed and you were allowed to now have 8 tackles a set. If the broncos sat there and said we are still gonna kick on the fifth because we don't like it then they would be idiots... Still can't understand how you can have a problem with what I said fourex...

 

[Mr Fourex]

By saying you don't like it, infers that you wish it wasn't part of the game.

If you stood behind your beliefs you wouldn't want your team doing something that you actually believed should be illegal.

So instead, you belittle the concept and at the same time, wish our team were better at it.

Has the ring of hypocrisy about it to me.......

 

[broncos4life]

Wtf??? I never said it should be illegal I just don't like it. At the end of the day this is footy, it's not a f***ing church service. I don't give a s*** about the moral high ground I want the broncos to win. To do that they need to get with the rest of the team and get with the wrestle. I still don't see how this makes me a hypocrite as I'm not backing anyone for doing it I'm just saying they need to do what the others are, even tho if it were possible I would prefer it not there.

Anyway mate you can think whatever you want about me, now go back over to rleague and tell your mate Lewis how ya got me
