Copley vs Reed

[Aldo]

Re: James Roberts to Broncos

Okay Centres I would prefer: Josh Morris, Tim Lafai, Peta Hiku, Jaime Lyon, Steve Matai, Dale Copley, Jordan Kahu, Dane Gagai, Will Chambers, Michael Jennings, James Roberts, Blake Ferguson, Jarrod Croker, Dylan Walker, Dean Whare, Justin O'Neil, Tim Simona, Mahe Fanua, Kurt Mann

Players who can also play centre (who i would prefer): Jack Bird, Josh Dugan, Corey Oates, Greg Inglis, Jack Wighton.

Fanua, Mann, O'Neil......you've just named a bunch of random centres that popped into your head. C'mon man.

Re: James Roberts to Broncos

I think Mann has a lot of potential. Could be a great player in the next few years. As for Fanua and O'Neil, they were basically picked on their speed. I think outside Milford it would be really useful.

Re: James Roberts to Broncos

I honestly don't understand how you can think saying he is a defensive liability is bullshit. He has made us lose multiple games. Basically anytime the opposition run at him inside the 20 they score... Would actually love to see the stat of how many successful tackles he makes in that area as opposed to normal play.

lol in that same game Reed put the pressure on SKD making him throw a stupid pass for our first try . Then he scored one himself . At least tell the whole story .

Umm SKD was just retarded, and the one he scored wasn't a solo try by any means, where as he did liteally nothing to stop ferguson.

It's a trollathon.

Re: James Roberts to Broncos

Anyway, main point is. Copley > Reed. So HOPEFULLY we don't lose Copley to accommodate for Roberts.

Oh ok , I guess he offers nothing then . You have just cherry-picked 2 tries from a 10 min period in ONE game and are saying it's proof he's hopeless . Why do you think he was picked in the GF side ? Copley and Maranta were both available but overlooked , guess Bennett is going senile ? Also could you list the multiple games you claim he made us lose ?

That was just an example of what happened multiple times throughout the season. If you think he's good, whatever. I just disagree and think we would be far better off with someone else who offered a bit more to the team.

If he only got the offer today, There won't be any announcement until after Christmas. The whole 10 day rule thing...

 

[FaithinHook]

Guys i know the following statement does not relate to either Reed or Copley ,but, i have been following various twiiter feeds throughout the day and i have heard that there will be a Broncos press conference held on Friday ,an, the 10 day cooling off period for Jimmy Jet signing end on Friday. Coincidence or not?!

 

[M.B.88]

I Could probably guarantee that I go to more games than you. I go to every Home game, Any game on GC, usually 2-3 games in NSW/VIC plus all finals games. Watch Broncos V Cowboys in Townsville, Watch us against Roosters in finals, and against cowboys in finals, and against Titans, and basically most games. There is almost always at least one try scored on his side due to him being too slow, or falling off a tackle or rushing up in defence. Bloke is mud. And you can't say his attack is that great. He is okay considering how slow he is, but there would probably be 20 centres I rate more than him.

You may of been there but clearly you didn't "watch" the games very well.. (Or with an objective mindset.

I was well over reed last year and was one of those calling for his dropping. But Bennett really has lit a fire in him. Wayne is very impressed with how much he's improved through the year and he deserves that recognition.

I have to admit Reed was very good for most of the year. Reed for me is like a Maranta - a bit of a 'tard, not blessed with huge talent, but is honest and works hard. Harder than most, just to keep up. But I'd still prefer Copley. He may never reach the potential that he's shown glimpses of, but if he comes close he'll be worth it in the long run.
