pick your Round 1, 2012 team

Yeah, and Elia Tuqiri is the greatest player the Broncos ever produced.

I can confirm this is true, very reasonable rates as well. You should remind her to take her teeth out for BJ's though.

I wasn't aware the coaching staff at the broncos made a habit of visiting mental homes and discussing their thoughts on players, tactics and attitudes??

How do you think they came up with the decision to let Petero go?

My grandma is dead you fckhead. Learn some respect
 
Well, there goes this thread I suppose. (ok, partly my fault)
 
Yow Yeh will NEVER run out with numbers 3 or 4 on his back in the regular home and away season. He'll never be paid enough for the Broncos to dabble in the thought (such as with Izzy), and his strength (high balls) will ensure he stays there.

Besides, his defence is bad enough on the wing as it is.. the last thing we need is for him to push in one.

You are a dick, He had no way to know anything about your grandma. And you are the one who stated she gives the best handjobs.

Hopefully you get a ban for being a #### wit.

Wtf is is with that ---> :sigh: - Sorry to ruin your morning you cranky little punce ..

Hoffman and Reed are inelligible for origin ... Beale, Glenn, McGuire and Gillett have never played and have quite a few incumbents ahead of them in a squad that's won six (6) origin series in a row. Who's spots are they all going to take ? Huh ?

McCullough is going to trump Cameron Smith for the #9 jersey ey ? that's laughable …

Petro has hinted he'll likely retire from rep football (?) so that leaves Hodges, Yow Yeh, Thaiday, Hannant and possibly Parker as the only players you can pencil in at this stage.

Ohh... touchy aren't we? Don't get your panties in a twist about a smiley mate, there's more to life, really!

Back to the matter at hand, as mrslong pointed out, I merely mentioned the REP players, current and POTENTIALLY future ones.

Going from a worst case scenario (for the Broncos) point of view, here are my thoughts:

Reed won't be a problem as he won't play for England during the NRL comp.
Hoffman, Beale and Glenn won't be a problem for the Origin period, but alongside the others, can be a headache with soreness/injuries after the ANZAC test.

Origin:
Hodges, Yow Yeh, Civoneciva, Hannant, Thaiday and Parker are near certainties if fit and firing.
McGuire could very well take Lillyman's spot, McCullough the utility bench spot from Cronk (who will move to the halves for Locky) if he keeps improving as he has the last months, and Gillett has enough talent to claim a spot somewhere in the 17.
Again, in worst case scenario, it could be 9 players missing during the rep season. In any case, chances are we will be missing at least 6 players, including captain, vice-captain and Civoneciva, who would be sort of an honorary captain.

We'll still have a competitive team due to our depth and toughness instilled by Hook, but it will still be a fairly weakened team no matter how you look at it. This is what our rep team COULD look like during the rep season...

1- Beale
2- Gagai
3- Reed
4- Copley
5- ???
6- Norman/Capewell/Wallace
7- Wallace/Hunt
8- Anderson
9- Hunt/Baptiste
10-Dodds
11-Lui
12-Te'o
13-Glenn

14-Baptiste/other utility
15-Carlaw
16-Kenny
17-Hala

What would you call it?
 
Bull Shark's point was just that there won't be many disruptions during the Origin season.

With Civo and Hodges likely stepping down from rep. I can only see about 3 maybe 4 Origin reps next season.
 
Carlaw hasn't been re-signed. Though I hear he is keen to run around in the QCup again. Good on him.

If there's one thing the world needs its people who throw pathetic little tantrums and then accuse people who tell them to pull their heads that THEY'RE the ones losing their cool … pmsl ...

You go work yourself into a tizz and write down all the worst case scenario teams you want .. I'll just stick with what's LIKELY to happen, ie four or five broncos picked for origin, none of whom are in the halves.

Oh and you're a touch out of step with Carlaw as well.

I'd call it a very slim chance, I don't expect to see 9 Broncos all playing for QLD.
 
Why isn't Hoffman in your side Porthoz?

Also, I expect a lot of press on how other clubs have tried and failed to replace their greats such as Newcastle post Joey and Roosters post Fittler but the reality is the Broncos have taken a completely different approach. When Joey left, the Knights were going through a rebuilding phase under a new coach who was hell-bent to implement his style one way or another. And with Fittler the Roosters tried to buy their way out of trouble and it made it difficult for that side to gel.

Most of this side is used to Hook and like him and most of the talent are either juniors or they've been at the club long enough to know what the deal is. With one of the best forward packs in the game, I expect the halves to settle in nicely.

Oh look, another keyboard hero... :rash: (I know, I shouldn't use smileys :rolleyes:... damm there I go again)

Just out of curiosity, enlighten me where I threw a little tantrum? All I've seen so far is you throwing a sissy fit because I voiced my opinion, which happened to collide with yours.
That is what a discussion forum is for, right?

Beside, any opinions posted at this point are merely assumptions.
Once the pre-season is in full swing and we hear what Civo and Hodges intentions are, we can start making more educated guesses.

While my hypothesis isn't the most likely, it's also far from being out of this world... If McGuire keeps his form in the new season, I can't see why he wouldn't replace Lillyman or Taylor in the team.
Gillett has been talked about in Origin in 2010, and depending on his 2012 form, may only be a 2nd rower injury away from being called.
As for McCullough, I admit it's a big call, but who are we going to carry in the utility position now that Cronk is moving into the halves? Bowen, Prince, Payne, Ballin, DCE? The latter is a great prospect, but it was only his first year and I'm not sure he can fill anywhere but in the halves...

I didn't know about Carlaw, so put Sterling or Slyney in there, which will make the team even younger and less experienced.

To BP, I completely forgot about Hoffman, of course he would be in there, with Beale probably in the centres with Reed and Gagai / Copley on the wings.

keyboard hero? .. you're beyond hilarious ..

Hey simpleton: I offered a logical and likely scenario about the Broncos and the representative season for next year .. you snapped back with a pie-in-the-sky prediction and an arrogant little signoff as though what I'd written had just ruined your morning.

if you're going to offer up totally left field opinions like 10 broncos making state of origin including a swag of first timers etc, you might want to frame your thoughts a little differently so people don't dismiss them as fantasy world stuff.

You might also want to brush up on who is actually IN the broncos squad and who MAY NOT be putting their hands up for rep duties so YOU can make a more educated guess :haha:
