Broncos v Dragons - Pre & Post-Game Discussion

[Coxy]

Moon and Boyd have to step up in the centres, for SURE. And Kemp needs to show a new dimension to his game from fullback. Otherwise we just don't have the points in us to combat the likes of Gasnier, the Morris brothers and Soward.

Hornby doesn't worry me a scrap though.

 

[Pumba]

Clintos. Do you have the NYC Team?

Honestly what part of that side has you all shaking in your boots????
I can see us smashing the Dragons on Friday Nite. Our pack is starting to hit its straps and Lockyer and Wallace are working well together. Sure we will miss Hunt , Hodges and Carroll but I can't see how we can lose this game TBH.

The highlighted ones have me concerned.

Also, who are Locky & Wallace going to create for outside them? Boyd has to step up huge this game, and Kemp will find it hard enough to come into the backline on the 3rd and 4th.

Sure they have some good players but so do we and IMO we have a better side and we should do them hard and fast.

Also, apart from the vacant centre dilema, why aren't they playing Boyd at fullback?

1. Boyd
2. Kemp
3. ? (*shudders* Robinson?)
4. Moon
5. Manihera

?????

Because moving Boyd to Fullback would weaken the centres even more than they are now

True. Just pointing out that Boyd is an excellent fullback and it is his preferred position.

 

[bronco_babe77]

I would like to see Kemp stay on the wing - he has been a great finisher out wide lately.

 

[wally]

God, ****.... No Karmy no chance i think, especially with Hodges out. gunna get smacked!

I thought he shoulda been rested last week, seeing as he was battling the calf strain and had the eye infection.

Fingers crossed thast he's back for the Titties.

 

[brisbroncosboy]

I bet Boyd will start at fullback come friday night will be one of the late changes benny always seems to make

Boyd to fullback, Kemp to wing and robinson centre.

Jesus, have some faith. Hunt isn't the only player we have.

Oh didn't you know Nashy? The world revolves around Karmichael Hunt :roll:

IMO We should put Hoffman at fullback and leave the backline at that. Minimal changes and IMO Hoffman will be a potent weapon with Lockyer and Wallace around.

 

[Nashy]

Yeah that bloke is an absolute gun.

 

[nopatience101]

ive heard rumors hoffman has a big head.... imo he is pretty overated from what ive seen of him....

 

[Black Philip]

Oh here we go again with the overrated bullsh*t. He has had TWO games in the NRL and now he's overrated? What a load of rubbish nopatience101

For the record he played bloody well for a rookie at fullback in those 2 games.

 

[nopatience101]

he has played solid, nothing special YET, IMO!!

 

[Pumba]

I like what I have seen from The Hoff!

 

[Brad]

After last weeks performance, i don't think the broncos can even win, if they do it will be by about two points. I rekon Dragons: 24 Broncos: 12. I want to see Lockyer running at the line and carving up the middle of the pack instead of the short balls to Carrol every 3rd tackle.

Tak the fact Hodges is out aswell and it starts to become an issue.... If Hodgo was there, not to much of a biggy. We often loose alot of composure without Hunt aswell.
I have faith in the boys, but Hunt does add alot to our attack and his vocals on the field are often noticeably missed when he isn't there.



Would love to see Hoffman there, i don't understand why he's not getting another go, he did nothing wrong in the game he has played, definatly deserves more game time.
