Hope Staggs & Haas have shockers.

I hope Staggs plays well, but we just play better. But yea hope Hass has 50 errors, and makes -10 metres.

 

[Kimlo]

I assume he is also taling about Hass and Staggs.

That makes sense! Need more coffee then.

 

[Mister Wright]

I hope Staggs plays well, but we just play better. But yea hope Hass has 50 errors, and makes -10 metres.

I hope Staggs drops the ball 15 times and gets bundled into touch just as many times. I love ‘em when they wear a Broncos’ jersey and hate ‘em when they put on the sky blue one.

Just like I couldn’t stand Slater, Smith and co. when wearing that awful purple, but chuck a Maroons’ jersey on and the love flowed.

I don't care too much whether they play well or not, I am happy for them to represent their state, I just hope they come back healthy

 

[Renegade]

I hope Staggs scores 6 tries and Payne runs for 3000m but they still lose. That way their confidence isn't down but NSW lose, so it's a win win for Qld/Broncos.

 

[Johnny92]

Oatesy very unlucky not to be picked I think.
But you can see the direction Slater is going in the the young players.
But Cobbo getting some extra coaching from Billy is awesome for us.

 

[Cult]

Only one of them is a Bronco. Hopefully Staggs kills it and Payne Haas runs 8000kms to Japanese rugby or something. **** that guy.

 

[Scorchie]

There's only 4 Broncos, 3 in the 17.

+ Haas
+ Staggs

= 6

I've always been a fan of Tom and felt there was a good player in there. IMO he got given a raw deal in an absolute dumpster fire of a team and never really had a platform to show what he could do. Was pitched in and expected to turn the entire team around, which is ridiculous when you think about it.

A clean break was probably the best thing for Tommy and it's starting to show now.

Broncos didn't want to throw him in that early. Walters wanted him to learn in Q Cup. It was through his own impatience that he wanted a shot in first grade, he was given the chance to sink or swim, we know which one happened. Cows were happy to compromise their (already dead) 2021 season and give him the starting spot in order to lure him there.

I think there is a difference between throwing someone in mid season with the team in absolute shambles and expecting him to turn it all around, compared to someone getting a chance to develop not surrounded by a constant media shitstorm about how bad we/he/the coach/the team/the club/the tea ladies are.

Plus, he's learning from a senior in Chad. Chad mightn't be the greatest player to ever lace a boot but he's clearly a calming influence and allowing Dearden to be confident enough to do this thing. We had Milf next to Dearden at times. Huge difference. Dearden might've been the same player here that he is at the Cows with Reynolds next to him, but we'll never know for sure.

 

[vertigo]

Kinda glad Oates didn't make it. Doesn't need the wear and tear on his body just when he's looking in great shape for us.

It's a lot easier for Cobbo to back up at his age.

So Slater has picked every QLD eligible player possible from the storm?

Coates should not be there over Oates. Corey has run for twice the amount of meters as him and. Over double the tackle busts.

I feel sorry for the big fella. Hope he doesn't feel too hard done by. absolutely been loving what he's bringing this year for us.

It appears he has. I was expecting Coates to be a lock. He's the incumbent, and leading QLD-eligible tryscorer. Not really that controversial. Oates was only ever an outside chance.

Don't forget Oates father in law picks the team. He hasn't been dudded by Slater.

 

[BruiserMk1]

Probably a blessing in disguise not having more broncs in the squad.

 

[Alec]

Coates is a winter Oates, they need to play Origin at the end of the season.

 

[bert_lifts]

Eh, less origin players we have the better. Going to really test us over the next month or so. May lose some games we would have easily won otherwise. Hope reynolds is fit, at least he should be able to keep us in the contests for the most part. If not we're screwed.

 

[McHunt]

Added to OP: there are also 3 internationals being played on Saturday June 25. That's a week away from our Cowboys match, so we shouldn't be affected - unless there are suspensions or injuries.
