No. We need a specialist winger out there on the left not two backrowers. You might get away with it once but not twice.

Agreed. And adding to that, Gillett is much more effective in the back row or off the bench than he is on the wing, and more effective than Norman would be.

Especially in reading defense.

God forbid if Locky's out it's Walalce's bloody chance to step up to the plate and gain some confidence and form. If he could just get to about half of what he was doing at this time last year... it would do the team wonders. He's just not doing anything much atm in attack nor is his kicking game in tact ATM.

With luck the Eels will be without Moi Moi and Smith. I say luck because we've seen the lengths the judiciary will go to, to make sure the Eels get an easy ride.

Hopefully if Lockyer's not playing he doesn't put too much pressure on himself to create something.

It shits me when he goes himself and gets smashed, McCullough has done it a few times as well but scored.

His kicking game was better, thats about it though. He didn't do much in attack.

a bit like the Souths game!!! [icon_shady

Souths without 3 of their best players.

We are not a one man team. No doubting that the greatest one will be a big loss but he's not THE reason we are winning games, he's just part of it so we can win without him even if it will be harder.

Please give it a rest with the negativity.

Who do Parra have at 7? The great Daniel 2nd year Syndrome Mortimer? Wallace is much better and who is at 6, Keating? Wallace is better as well and I would take Hunt or Norman over Mortimer either way we are still stronger in the halves than they are. If Parra lose Moi Moi and Smith there is no reason we can't win, in fact no reason we can't trample them, even if they do both play for that matter.

Let's see on Friday night then, I believe we are a one man team. Sure we have plenty of talented footballers, but without Lockyer they are useless.

You call it negativity, I call it being realistic. Wallace has been ordinary all season, one his best games was against Souths, who basically offer nothing in defence. We can't win games without him in the side, but he isn't much good on his own.

Didnt you just mention the souths game? Correct me if im worng (im not) but Lockyer didnt play that game and Wallace was what you call "on his own" that game. Norman played aswell. Lockyer may still play anyway

I don't want to be negative, but I'm being realistic here. I don't think we will win this game without Locky. Wallace has left his run too late to get his performance/confidence back to where it used to be. We have no-one else to lead them around the park. Playing the cowboys without Thurston and them still scoring so much on us shows that our defence is not that great, and without Locky in attack we won't make it. If what I say doesn't come true then all the better.

We're a good chance even with Lockyer having the week off (which he should given we've got a tough away double vs Newcastle and NZ to follow).

But Parramatta will be super dangerous given they have to win every game to be even a chance of making the finals. That's when they're at their best.

Should be a sensational game.

Or a really bad game where everyone rights Broncos off for the rest of the season :)

I dobut the Cowboys would of scored them tries if we were only winning by 6, but i can see where you are coming from. I thought Ben Hunt and Wallace were very good and considering they will have a week to train togeather we should be alright. We are not a one man team like the Eels and therefore should not play like a one man team if lockyer doesnt play.

Look for Parker and Thaiday to play amazing and Parker to be MOTM.

Broncos to win by 13+

Are you seriously comparing Robson, Mortimer and Keating to Wallace?

Shane Perry would own all 3.
