Broncos Vrs Knights - Build up thread

[Foordy]

Winterstein and McCullough could well be added to our ever growing injury list after last nights game and if that is the case the team that should be selected to face the Knights is.

01. Josh Hoffman
02. Dale Copley
03. Ben Te'o
04. Israel Folau
05. Jharal Yow Yeh
06. Darren Lockyer
07. Ben Hunt
08. Shane Tronc
09. Alex Glenn
10. Scott Anderson
11. Lagi Setu
12. Sam Thaiday
13. Corey Parker

14. Dunamis Lui
15. David Hala
16. Mitchell Dodds
17. Josh McGuire / Ashton Sims

I put Glenn at hooker because i think Ben Hunt needs to remain at half and Glenn is good defensively. that bench is also very inexperienced. obviously if Winterstein and/or McCullough are passed fit they would be automatic selections and adjustments need to be made

I think if Winterstein is out we will more than likely see Michaels on the wing. Scary I know, but his poor form last year was in the centres, and he had a good 2007 season on the wing.

I have only seen a couple of Under 20's games this season but if McCullough is out I'd rather give Kurt Baptiste a run than put Glenn at hooker. From all reports he played well in our win last night. Glenn needs to either play in the back row or bench utility IMO.

1. Hoffman
2. Michaels
3. Te'o
4. Folau
5. Yow Yeh
6. Lockyer
7. Hunt
8. Tronc
9. Baptiste
10. Anderson
11. Setu
12. Thaiday
13. Parker
---------------------
14. Glenn
15. Lui
16. Sims (maybe)
17. Dodds

Teo is awesome in the #3 and should stay there. Hopefully Ivan lets him.

Also i would have Norman above Glenn at 9 and Glenn on the bench in Dodds place. Otherwise yeah good team.

 

[Foordy]

Jeba, you have Te'o at both left center and back row [icon_lol1. i know he played well last night but ... [icon_razz1

5. Yow Yeh
6. Lockyer
7. Hunt
8. Tronc
9. Glenn
10.Anderson

I thought T'eo was great in the centres. I think Glenn is the better option, especially in attack, and we lose nothing in defence there either.

IMO, T'eo is a back rower and should stay there. And I mean stay there unless another injury.

I also think that with all these injuries, we need Glenn as an 80 minute player.

Sims just has to come into the team. I can't understand why he's omitted. He's done nothing wrong in the games he's played, especially relative to our other props. He has the experience we need.

Assuming certain injuries, my team would be:


1. Hoffman
2. Michaels
3. Glenn
4. Folau
5. Yow Yeh
6. Lockyer
7. Hunt
8. Tronc
9. Norman
10. Anderson
11. T'eo
12. Thaiday
13. Parker
---------------------
14. Setu
15. Lui
16. Sims (Definitley)
17. Dodds

i doubt norman could handle the defense at 9...

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

Norman at 9 rna? Any reason?

 

[Bucking Beads]

i doubt norman could handle the defense at 9...

the best part of Normans game is his defence don't you think??

 

[rnabokov]

Norman at 9 rna? Any reason?

Of course it's a risk. But I go back to Round 1 where his defence was excellent, and he showed excellent ball skills.I believe he also played a lot at 5/8.

Pity he was crucified with all the hype. This might be his chance.

As well, since Kempy won't be FB, and I don't thnk Hoffman is anywhere near as talented as Norman, this might be a good opportunity for Norman to get his natural game back. We saw in Round 1 what he's capable of.

I reckon he's better in terms of experience than Baptiste, and I'd rather see Glenn where he belongs: centre.

 

[rnabokov]

Of course, Henjak will probably put Lui at 9 and Thaiday at 7.

 

[Donny]

Of course, Henjak will probably put Lui at 9 and Thaiday at 7.

Lol, your probally rite [icon_lol1. [icon_lol1. [icon_lol1.

 

[nopatience101]

i doubt norman could handle the defense at 9...

the best part of Normans game is his defence don't you think??

when making 5 tackles a game, its a little different in the front line... his future is 5/8 but hes physically not up to it yet...

 

[nopatience101]

i think glenn will start at 9 with beale coming off the bench, i would like to see baptiste off the bench, but the former would be more likely...

Knights by 12

 

[Hatchy]

Whilst I'm glad that Tronc has finally arrived i'm a bit dissapointed in Sims not getting a shot, imo Sims HAS to be in the team somewhere. Sims has done nothing but worked hard for this club since his debut and yet it seems like Ivan doesn't appreciate it. meanwhile, Tronc only arrives in Australia 12 hrs before the match and gets a shot. Bad selection just there by Ivan again.

If i had it my way, the team would look like this for the knights clash:

1. Hoffman
2. Copley/Winterstein
3. Te'o
4. izzy
5. yow yeh
6. Lockyer
7. Hunt
8. Tronc
9. McUllough
10. Sims
11. Thaiday
12.Setu
13. parker
..................

14. Lui
15. Dodds
16. Glenn
17. Anderson
...................

Obviously there will be some minor reshuffles right up to the start of the match, ie. Setu dropping back to the bench for Glenn to start. But that's the basis of the team.
