Very nice, watkins will probably drop off the bench unless Hodges or Carroll get ruled out.

Pardon my ignorance but who's Derrick Watkins?

Backrower, formerly from the Cowboys, who was investigated for sexual assault a couple of years ago. Oh right, we don't talk about off field stuff huh?

Good player who's been playing for Redcliffe in the Q Cup this year, been in the Broncos system for 3 years now I think.

What sort of backrower? A similar style player to who?

 

[bronco_babe77]

Good team. Fairly predictable I suppose.

Yeah I've never heard of Derrick Watkins either.

 

[Prince Langer]

Why dont we have a back up half/9/back?

Not sure, but from the little I've seen of him, most resembles Tonie Carroll. Hard running, hard hitting, not terribly "bally". BroncoMatt or mick! would be more descriptive!

 

[666]

Why dont we have a back up half/9/back?

Probably because ennis will play the full 80, and if he gets hurt Stagg will fill in, same with the other positions, and moon can cover the halves as well, so can Eastwood.

Plus the way Thaiday played last week he could fill in at 6 or 7 [icon_drun

 

[bronco_babe77]

Maybe because there are a few that could swap around like Eastwood, Carroll or Stagg if needs be.

 

[Coxy]

Why dont we have a back up half/9/back?

They'll use Greg Eastwood and David Stagg as the reserve backs.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Great looking side. Will be very hard to pick a side when Parker and Marsh are back. I am really glad that Moon is getting a shot, hopefully he improves every week so he can keep his spot in the side.

 

[Alec]

Great to see them stick with Moon in the centres, instead of putting Stagg there. Seeing Stagg back in the backrow is amazing too.

Do you want Perry in the side??

Nah ill pass thanks

 

[Alec]

Not sure which side of the field Lawrence plays on, but if he's up against Hodges, Hodges will absolutely dominate him. THey'll probabaly put Collis up against Hodges though, as Collis is a great defensive centre.

 

[Coxy]

Interesting that they're standing down Marshall in preparation for the Test.

It's actually a good side they have. Solid backs, solid halves, good pack. Bench might be a little bit light on for talent, but Danny Galea has potential and was brilliant at Penrith a few years back. I rate Dene Halatau at hooker too.

Interesting that people now write off Chris Lawrence's defence after a couple of lapses against the Sharks. He has actually been strong defensively early in his career eusa_think

Will be a very interesting game.

Tigers by 30 :P (mock, mock, mock, mock!)
