Am I mistaken or did they beat us 1 or 2 years ago in the same trial?

2 years ago we were beaten
last year we drew
this year we won by 48 points ...

i think we're heading in the right direction

 

[Mr Fourex]

People carrying on a bit in here after towelling up a bunch of blokes who are most likely out doing a bit of paving today (or whatever else their day jobs are away from footy)

Thanks

back to reality....

 

[Sproj]

Two years ago.

Here was the team:

Brisbane Broncos
1. Guy Hamilton 2. Ilikena Vudogo 3. Vaea Vaea 4. Bessie Aufaga-Toomaga 5. Jonathon Reuben 6. Darren Nicholls 7. Tyson Gamble 8. Pride Petterson-Robati 9. Kobe Hetherington 10. Jack Martin 11. Teurui Robati 12. Brendan Piakura 13. Brandon Lee

Interchange: 14. Cole Waaka 15. Damon Somerville 16. Joshua James 17. Mahpala Ah Chong 18. Danny Heenan 19. Darcy Maroske

Boy you don't want to play the first trial game if you aren't a kid do you, your career isn't going anywhere if you do most likely.

 

[BroncosFever]

My ultimate fear is if we win all these trial games after a good finish to the season and then come out in Round 1 and get hammered.

There's a bit of Titans 2020 about us at the minute, if I recall correctly, they finished the season strongly, bought in some fantastic players and barely scraped into the 8 last season (the bottom few teams of that 8 is probably the worst I can re-call seeing in terms of quality, teams 6th, 7th and 8th would've struggled to beat us I am suggesting). I just looked it up, they finished 9th in 2020 and finished 8th in 2021 despite bolstering their pack significantly.

To be honest if we did make the 8 this season, it would undoubtedly be a step in the right direction but I think we have a team better than just being able to scrape into the 8.

 

[Xzei]

what is good is the depth at 6,7,9 imo,fullback is still up in the air but i think we are well serviced in those three spine positions.

Fullback you have nui, cobbo, isaako and even mead (who played a bit of fullback in the super league and would be a safe option as he is consistent, plays high percentage football, experienced, and decent defence and attack).

I’d happily take scraping into the 8 this season

**** it's funny listening to titans fans at the moment after last year though.
10 wins they got. 10 bloody wins, and they act like they are a sure thing for the finals this year and last year was a success because they are now a "finals teams". It was the worst team in living memory to make the finals! They lost 14 matches last year lol. And they still go on about the Roosters game. They were lucky to be there! And the Roosters were running on fumes by that stage too.

Can't wait to see this year for them haha. The youngest captain in the nrl, inexperienced spine, lacking in the dummy half, high self opiniated players, talented juniors who are raved about ...... haha sound familiar?

You will not make the 8 with 10 wins again for years.

Titans are proof of how bad it can get if you start throwing around million dollar deals, we've had a bad one recently in Milford but they've had a chain of bad ones, ever since John Cartwright was their coach they've never really got back anywhere near that.

Fifita could be the exception and buck that trend but he's an edge forward and I don't think they know how to get the best out of him even yet, they need to get him punching a line in the defense coming out of the trouble, not when they're probably going to score anyway and he knocks over 3 retreating defenders.

I think we all would mate but if you look at the firepower across the park that our team should have if fully fit, as long as they're competing hard and playing for each other without the ball, we should be able to make the 8.

We've got a really good mix of strike, untapped youngsters and hard nosed seasoned no nonsense NRL players. Injuries will play a role and losing someone like Kotoni Staggs to injury would instantly put a dent in that strike so we will need luck but if they all stay fit and Kevvie continues to develop the young kids the right way, I don't think we will be scraping it in, I think we will be comfortably making it in. Not suggesting a shoe in for the top 4 but I would like to think we won't be amongst that ruck of teams usually competing for 8th spot.

Realistic fear withstanding, what more could they have done to make you feel better?

 

[1910]

I don't think it's true depth yet. It's competition for spots but I don't think it's depth yet. Depth to me is able to interchange and lose little in game skills. I don't think the Broncos have that.

You don't know what you would get if Mam had to play 15 games, you don't know how Paix or Walters would go for 20 games.

 

[BroncosFever]

Not really anything to be perfectly honest, we'll learn a whole lot more in the upcoming trial against an NRL team.

I've already held the belief Kevvie is the right guy and things will get a whole lot better, flogging a QLD Cup team by 50 is what I would expect us to do.

Yep, and let's be honest about the wet paper bag we were playing. Have a look at the passage of play that led to the Gamble try. Good luck pulling that off round one:

 

[Sproj]

The keys really are Reynolds and Staggs. Reynolds gives leadership and direction, if he goes down, no one else offers that, not even Gamble to anywhere near Reynolds' level. Staggs is a freak and can pull something from nothing, if he goes down, no one else can do that yet, though Cobbo will get there more than likely but even so, he isn't quite there yet.

 

[Mr Fourex]

Staggs is a freak and can pull something from nothing,

Am I the only one who thinks this is getting a bit ahead of ourselves......maybe it's because of all the time he has off but....I certainly don't think of him in this category just yet

In my mind...he's still got a ways to go, just proving himself to be a regular member of the team.

When he is on the field, we are an immensely improved attacking team. Not to many players in our team you can say that about if any.
