I feel like chicken tonight! (Friday night)
- Thread starter Vogstar90
- Start date
Current expectation is Ennis will be back for round 3, but they're monitoring the situation. Quad injuries can be really serious if they retear (a bit like hamstrings). eg, Neville Costigan is out for 8 weeks with a bad quad tear.
Broncos don't want to risk a similar injury for Ennis.

I would have liked to have seen Wapau on the bench in place of Kenny. No offence to Kenny, but I wanna see what Wapau can do, and having an element of suprise in a new explosive forward might give us the advantage we need in the forwards. IMO Kenny doesn't add alot.
I don't like kenny so much either, but none the less I think he should play and not WAPAU. I think WAPAU Should get a chance when the match is not such a forward dominated one like the roosters such as raiders, knights, cowboys, titans or illawara. I think he should make his debut against one of those teams, but the roosters have too many good forwards it's probably too much of a risk to chuck him in atm IMO.
And SOO is really not that far away when you think about it.
Nothing wrong with, as Coxy said, "rotating" the guys like Wapau, Kenny and Taylor. We'll undoubtedly need to use at least one or two of them through the origin period, so if they all get a chance to have a couple of games under their belts it'll keep our options open for the rep season.

I don't think it is a great idea rotating fringe players in and out of the side. If they are playing well let them play, the fringe players need confidence to improve to become quality first graders.

If they're of a similar standard I don't have a problem rotating players in and out - especially early in their careers. It gives them the opportunity to play at the top level without having to deal with the week to week grind and pressure right up front. Although I do take your point re playing more to increase confidence I don't have a problem with 'asing them into their careers when they are just starting out - as long as the ones being rotated are of similar standard to each other.

Despite our outstanding performance on the weekend, my gut feeling is an unfortunate victory to the Rorters by 10-16 points [icon_thumbs_do

They have more experience and bigger names in the forwards, but there is no reason our pack can't match it with them. That said our backs shit all over theirs, so as long as our forwards keep up, it shouldn't be too much of a task for us to win.
Yeah I don't know what all the fuss is about. As long as the Broncos are on their game we will win. The roosters bombed Souths all night and it worked a treat, I'm not so sure it will work against Hunt. Souths were off their game and missed Wing badly in attack.
