Broncos Vs. Titans - Build Up Thread

[Bucking Beads]

Good news I hope Ivan names Glenn in the centres I think he is our best option there whilst Hodges is still recovering.

 

[Coxy]

Agreed. Gillett on the bench, Thaiday, Te'o and Parker in the back row. Best combination IMO.

 

[Donny]

1. Hoffman
2. Winter
3. Glen
4. Folau
5. Yow Yeh
6. Lockyer
7. Wallace
8. Tronc
9. McCollough
10. Setu
11. Thaiday
12. Teo
13. Parker

14. Hunt
15. Gillet
16. Kenny
17. Anderson

I wouldnt have Hunt on the bench, I'd go with four fowards (probally sims or Dodds) but I dont think they will change it yet so i will stick him in there!

The hooker interchange is still working, so you don't **** with it.

The team you've named is perfect IMO.

Anderson & Setu to play QC.

 

[Coxy]

Hmmm, just still not sure having Kenny, Dodds and Tronc all in the same 17 is wise.

 

[Bucking Beads]

So Sims, Setu and Anderson to play QLD cup. I can't say I agree but oh well.

 

[Kimlo]

IMO if anyone needs to drop off it's Dodds. He provides absolutely nothing in attack, hardly any metres or hits ups, he's purely defence and against a good defensive team like the Titans attack would probably be more important. Nothing against Dodds I just feel others have more to offer at this point in time.

Setu in for Dodds, he provides a bit of variation in the forwards. Actually I would have Setu starting with Kenny on the bench, I don't believe in the two whole two best props must start thing. Whoever is suited to bench role more should take it and I reckon Kenny not being as strong is better suited towards the back end of halves.

I don't necessarily agree with the squad but it's still a very good team and we can still win no problem.
I hope we smash them! Fresh Locky/Thaiday/Folau who usually scores 3 or 4 tries against the tits.

I agree with dropping Dodds but I can't say I think the Titans are a good defensive team. Izzy will cut the Titans to shreds on Friday night.

 

[Coxy]

Their defence was first class against the Tigers.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Their defence was first class against the Tigers.

True, but I can't see the Broncos having any trouble scoring against them. I wouldn't class them as a good defensive side.

Also going by for and against the Broncos are a better side in defence.

 

[ningnangnong]

So glad to have the footy back this weekend.

Having a bye is lame.

 

[The Brizz]

I agree I hate not having Corey Parker to fall back on in VRL!

 

[Donny]

I think Kenny has been very good the last couple of games especially the tigers game. Cant beleive Setu has missed out. He has been awsome IMO. Where the hell has McGuire come from?? Played like two games all year?? I rate him as a player but surely Setu and Anderson would be in front of him at the moment!! I have to feel for Andersons, setu and sims. They have been very good the past few weeks IMO. I know setu and Anderson have had injuries but they should be in the side.

If hodges does get fit then what happens then. You can almost gaurantee Glen will be on the bench and so will Gillet. So we will be going into the game with two utilitie players and a halfback/hooker on the bench. which leave 1 lonely spot for a prop?? I know the whole hooker rotation is woking atm but i reckon four fowards on the bench would work even better. All the best hookers play 80mins. Ennis, Farah, Smith. McCollough has to learn to play 80mins otherwise the team is seriuosly disadvantaged!!!

When Hodges is fit, either Glenn or Hunt (or McCullough) will miss out. And most likely it'll be Hunt.

Sounds like it won't be an issue this season anyway.

I hope hodges is going to be back this season. I am happy with the two hookers atm but if Hodges comes back it will affect our foward pack to much and one of them would have to be left out IMO. My money would be on Hunt.
