Broncos v Bulldogs Build-up thread

[ddd]

We need a absolutely huge turnaround to be a chance against the form team in the comp.

The boys need to get thrashed at training - all our players need to prove that they deserve to be there.

And, after reading the paper this morning, I'm a bit worried Clinton won't be there next week, because we certainly missed his against the Storm.

Yea BIG imporvement needs to be done but I think if Locky is back and 100% that should help a fair bit. Parker, Te'o and Glenn all have concussions and Glenn also has a broken nose :S. Hopefully they are all ok for next round before that were 3 of our best players. Hoping to see McGuire keep a bench spot too, he was good.

I think 48- 4 will be enough motivation for the Broncos to turn it around next weekend. The Broncos will make a statement next weekend look out doggies..

How the hell did any of them get injured or concussed [icon_shru

I think Parker caught a hip to the head when going in for a tackle on Manu or lima and Glenn and Te'o had a head clash that looked really nasty because it was basically face on face. All the players were down for a while when it happened and Glenn got carried off the field.

Will be interesting to see what team the broncs put on the field...

 

[Jeza23]

They better play well (or something better than what they produced last night) for my first ever game at Suncorp!!

Other than that we need to get back into the winners circle because we can't afford to lose too many during origin, considering our record in previous years following the origin period (downhill slides)

 

[ningnangnong]

I agree Rock. In a nutshut we need to harden the fark up.

 

[Black Philip]

Bulldogs by 12+ at this stage IMO. Even if we have Lockyer back I can't see us doing too well.

 

[Fozz]

I'm not too sure, typically if a team gets thrashed they will turn it around the next week.

I expect we'll see some changes too, they should a light a fire under some asses.

I am confident the Broncos will trun it around against the dogs. It was obviously an attitude problem against the storm and I can't see it happening again. I don't think the loss of Lockyer was that great but the fact he pulled out so late and that most of the team expected him to be there and play most likely played on there minds... Broncos by 10

 

[Ghibli]

If attitude continues to be a problem with the core team, we should select a hungry B-grade team:

1. Hoffman
2. Hewitt
3. Copley
4. Tupou
5. Yow Yeh
6. Fauid
7. Hunt (Ben)
8. McGuire
9. Green
10. Sweeney
11. Watkins
12. Wapau
13. Ford

14. Peletelese
15. Handcock
16. Spence
17. TeReo

I got some of these players from our feeder teams, not too sure if they are all fit or available to the Broncos for selection.

 

[Clintos]

Te Reo was sacked and Watkins in contracted elsewhere now I believe.

 

[Ghibli]

Aren't they playing for our feeder clubs? Watkins for Redcliffe and TeReo for Wynnum-Manly?

 

[Fozz]

Te Reo is gone. There is no way he is playing for the Broncos again. Wynnum-Manly isn't a feeder club for the Broncos, I think? I can't see any other Bronco contracted players on their list.

Wynnum-Manly is a feeder club I'm pretty sure. Gerard Beale was playing for them before he got chucked back in the U20s.

 

[Kaz]

Wynnum-Manly are a feeder club to the Broncos.

So are Easts, Central Comets, Burleigh, Norths and Redcliffe

 

[Fozz]

Fair enough but I'm still pretty certain Te Reo won't be playing for us anytime soon.
