How many time Kahu start at left centre position this year and how many time he finish the whole game without injured. This year he got too many injuries playing at left centre.

Opacic is a blow. His partnership with Oatesy is starting to develop nicely but we have a handy replacement in Pearson. The kid is a real finisher and a good prospect. Kahu will need to aim up in defence on Hurrell though and I have full confidence he can do just that.

Opacic not playing is bad news, he's been huge defensively and super reliable in attack.
On the bright side it'd be awesome to see Jonus bag a few tries matching up against the guy we're rumoured to be chasing to play on the wing!

what a huge game for a kid to come into. good luck to him.
opacic just a kid too so we aren't losing too much in terms of experience, though he's obviously had more time to settle in to first grade.
pearson will get tested at the back. hopefully roberts is on his game and gives him some support/block/stays alive in defense to clean up any situations.

Losing Opacic is bad news for sure. We finally had our left centre spot getting some consistency. It weakens both sides of the field not because Pearson isn't the goods but purely because it breaks both sides' combinations.
That said, we HAVE to go right all night because Roberts-Pearson has some serious pace on that flank.

I agree we need to be going right but we also need to be using Milford as much as we can, so hopefully he is swinging around to link up will Hunt a fair bit.

So he won't play again this year or can it be delayed?

He played injured last week, and can be managed. This week it had flared up and didn't settle on time, or he would have had an injection to play.
A lot will depend on how we go tomorrow night I guess. If we win well, and Kahu/Pearson go well, we may not see Opacic until 2017.

Broncos will reintroduce the style that saw them beat the Storm in Melbourne a few weeks ago for this game, and moving forward into the finals.
Aggressive, fast moving defence with fast, wide ball movement in attack.
Should be fun to watch if we get it right!

There is no doubt last week was a red herring for us, very little to play for and while it was lacklustre, the team got it done.
From this week on, there is everything to play for. I just have a sneaking suspicion the Broncs have flicked the switch and the Titans won't know what hit them tomorrow night.
