PRE-GAME Finals Week 1 - Broncos vs Titans

[lionred]

Titans defence in the middle leaks badly they don't get back and set you can get a roll on through there. Milford, Hunt and McCullough will combine up the middle like last year against the Roosters to expose it.

YES last week it was terrible. Milford could have a field day if they dont fix it.

macca has stepped it up in the last few weeks getting out of dummy half quickly and getting us on the front foot a bit more than he had been. i'll have a keen eye on him again tomorrow night.

Do we need to a standing ovation at 3 and 13 minutes? It would be unfair on Reed if they only did Parker's.

If the Titans' strengths are their middle and right side attack, that actually plays into our hands because I think aside from Gillett, our right side is a weakest defensively because Roberts often makes bad reads that are either covered by Gillett/Kahu or by Roberts who is lucky to have enough speed to ally catch back up.

luckily hoffman is yet to pass the ball in 2016 so as soon as he catches it all you gotta do is stacks on.

How is that not dissing Reed?

Haha yeah at least the guy is consistent, albeit consistently a hog.

their careers are not comparable?

I get flashbacks watching him butcher plays. I'm convinced he was never actually taught to pass in juniors.

Broncos have given away the least penalties in the competition this season- 124. So the Titans don't get easy marches down the field.

Wow, and that's including all the bullshit catch-up penalties the opposition gets when one of our players so much as looks at the ruck for more than half a second.

The training live blog has no sign of Opacic with Pearson training on the wing.

I would love to see the 'Penalties For' stat. Funnily enough, NRL don't keep that one. What's the bet we're last on that one too?

 

[Pushkin]

Jonus pearson training on right wing for the Broncos. No sign of centre Tom Opacic looks like he will be scratched for the Titans final. Apparently courier mail saying that. That mean Kahu gone play left centre. He gone mark Konrad hurrell. That is problem. I am not sure he is capable of stoping Konrad hurrell.

 

[Sproj]

We all gone be mad if Opacic not play?

 

[john1420]

Why did he choose to even have the clause? His religion.

Thanks Brett for explaining your position.

Your answer though really supports what I am saying; "Why did he choose..."

By your own words, it is the players choice

Had my doubts if he was going to be able to play days ago tbh.

You should find the YouTube clip of Kahu smashing Jason Bukuya.

Apart from which, who do you suggest is competent enough to play left centre which Kahu is, Hurrell or no Hurrell (who anyone who knows how to tackle can bring down)
