Broncos Vrs Sharks; Build up thread

[Bucking Beads]

Anyone know why Gorrell was named at no.9 on the team announcement at bigpond?

Because your dreaming get ya hand off it.

 

[renouf]

Watch the team announcement you clown

Actually on the subject of Special K he is not special but average. K is over-rated and will be for a long-time. His manager obviously has marketed him well and the Broncos need to drop him.

Justin Hodges a few years ago stood in as fullback and was very very good in the position. Henjak mentioned putting Hodges in this position and I reckon the Broncos go for it!

Hodges would be a brilliant fullback as it will give him more room to move in attack plus he's a great defender. Hodges as a leader in this club would also have more view of what's going on in the game which will allow him to give far greater direction to the team.

I'd bring Folau into the centres instead of giving it to an inexperienced player and put a fast agile player instead into the wing.

Good point. It was 2006 wasn't it? The year it looked like another post origin slump, yet Bennett sent them all off on a midweek holiday and made some crucial changes including hodges to fullback. I think I remember one game against the bulldogs where he had a blinder and we won 30-0? That turned our season completely around. Will admit though don't think it was as bad in 2006 as it is now :(

we should move hunt to the left centre and that would fix all problems on the left side defence

is that a joke rod? surely

Bennett only made the change with Hodges to fullback because Hunt was out injured for 8 weeks. When Hunt returned, Hodges was playing far too well to change positions and had to play on the wing. Disappointed Hodges didn't stay at fullback for 2007 tbh.

Bennett actually put Boyd at fullback for 3 or 4 games before he decided to try Hodges there, and Hodges did play the first couple of games at fullback in 2007.

I was overseas at the time, but wasn't that because Hunt was tried at halffback?

Yeh, I think they realised that whilst Perry did a good job in 2006 he wasn't a long term solution, so they tried K at halfback and Hodges at fullback.

So you super loyal fans that are going to the game on Monday night, are you going to boo Karmichael? If I was going I would find it difficult not to tbph.

 

[Coxy]

Nah. Doubt I'll boo. I just won't cheer for him.

 

[mrslong]

Nah. Doubt I'll boo. I just won't cheer for him.

I know, i'd be torn.....because you still want him to play well.

I have a super important touch footy match so I won't even be heading to the pub to watch the game, which previously was my favourite monday night footy thing to do. :cry:

 

[Jeba]

I want my team to win and K playing well will contribute to that so there is no way I will boo him. He still has my support 1000%.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I will be booing the Sharks..

[eusa_eh you do know there's no such thing as 1000%?

 

[Jeba]

Like I said, he has my support 1000%.
