From the reports i have been reading it looks as if all but Folau will be back this week. Kenny may make a return, if he doesn't Taylor to start.

I just hope Locky is back, since Parkers' captaincy record stands at 0 wins from about 6 games.

I think Copley did well on the wing against the Titans and i would leave him there.IMO, Glenn is wasted on the wing and the team is better served with him in the back row or bench.

If this team is named i think we can beat the Raiders convincingly if we turn up with a good attitude, even though the game is being played in Canberra.

LETS GO BRONCOS!!!!!

Quick interruption. Hello to Sydney / NSW based readers! It's all gone quiet in the Stable forum (only one message in July!!) If anyone is going to Canberra to this game can you please post in the Stable Canberra thread..... (looking like I am going to be very lonely).

Phillip

10.Clinton
11.Thaiday
12.Teo

18.Hunt - first choice replacement for Lockyer or Wallace should they not be fit.
19.Copley - To wing if Hunt is not fit with Hoffman to FB.
389.Setu

Henjak now needs to determine who will be our #1 for next year. Whoever he chooses needs to be on the wing until Folau returns.

Brisbane is expecting a raft of senior players to return for its vital NRL clash with Canberra on the weekend.

Origin stars Darren Lockyer (knee), Karmichael Hunt (cork) and Sam Thaiday (ribs) are all hoping to prove their fitness for the Raiders clash along with halfback Peter Wallace (hamstring), Nick Kenny (knee) and enforcer Tonie Carroll (knee).

YAY! As I was expecting! I reckon all 6 will play for sure, even if they're not 100% they will probably play because this is a must win game IMO.

I agree with this comment 1000% and that man needs to be Hoffman

My source tells me Thaiday won't play... the ribs aren't right yet

 

[Mister Wright]

Hoping Hoffman gets a go on the wing. Most likely Glenn will be selected there tomorrow.

 

[Dexter]

I would rather see Hoffman stay at fulback and play Hunt at centre.
He couldn't be worse than Michaels and defensively he talks well which is where I believe we have been failing.

Hope Hoffman gets to play a lot of games for us. I don't want him to be another one that got away because I think he's going to be a great player with a lot of games under his belt.

How long is he signed with us for?

Til the end of 2011.

 

[Big Pete]

Bronco magazine says until the end of 2010.

Same goes for most of those players who played in our Toyota Cup Grand Fina side.

 

[Jeba]

Have another read Big Pete, I'm sure you'll find that it says the Hoff along with McCullough have signed on for 2 more years.

Not a bad team... but someone fill me in, who is Hala, is he any good?

I like the fact that Copley gets another chance on the wing, and i think it will be Interesting to see how Ben Hunt goes playing inside Lockyer and also having K in the side. i do hope that he doesn't go into his shell, as so many halfbacks do when the have Locky outside them.

Very very happy to see Ben Hunt named.
Also interesting to see Hoffman on the bench. This tells me Hunt may not be 100% yet and maybe ruled out later in the week.
Wouldnt suprise me as Corked thighs can take weeks to heal.
