PRE-GAME Prelim Final - Broncos vs. Roosters

[Super Freak]

Well, there you go.

Turns out it's not.

haha. milton is definitely closer but sometimes you can wait 10 to 15 mins for the connecting train at roma st. in which case the extra 5-10 min walk from roma st will end up saving time anyway.

plus, caxton st for a beer. yell at the one (if lucky) roosters supporter you might see.

 

[noisetheory]

just had a look on ticketek. down to single seats only in all sections already. boom!

 

[noisetheory]

they had joshy mcguire on nova this morning from training. he sounds like a legend. they were diggin into poor ol oates again about him being the dumbest. milford was apparently kicking a soccer ball around and mcguire just said 'well we just let him do want he wants, he adlibs everything in life'. and then speaking about hodgo and how he has two games left in him and how mcguire was surprised by how he's is actually training hard at the moment.

all in all the vibe sounded really positive.

 

[jarro65]

anyone at training this morning?

Yep.

Good session in the heat !!

Boys looked sharp.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Damn I'm so pumped for this game!

 

[jarro65]

Both Hunt and Milf practicing short grubber kicks close to the line, hopefully we get close enough to get plenty of repeat sets.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Thanks for the advice, think I'll just go to Roma and walk from there.

 

[Broncoman]

By the sounds of things it looks like Pearce will be fine to play on Friday, Hastings though is prepared to play if he is out.

 

[jarro65]

I heard that Hastings will be on the bench, which is good for us as it means there won't be another 120 kg monster fresh and ready to come on !

 

[noisetheory]

^ yup. good stuff.

REFEREES have been confirmed as GERARD SUTTON (lead ref) and GAVIN BADGER (asst).

 

[Stix]

I can't stand Badger, I reckon he does his best to F*** us over every chance he gets.

Which ones are fair to us? Sutton is the one that sent Gillette to the sinbin for being 40m onside.

 

[Big Pete]

That was Ben Cummins (with Dave Munro as his assistant).

Sutton and Badger reffed our last game against the Cows (where the Cows got the majority of the calls). I actually like Sutton but Badger doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence.

we won the penalty count at least.

fwiw i dont think you can read much into stats like that unless you sit down and analyse every call. also its not only penalties but 50-50 type calls like whether there is a 6 again or not. a marginal knock on/forward pass/etc.


tbh not really worried about these refs.

lets just hope we dont need to talk about them after the game, win or loss.

 

[Morkel]

No changes.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

No surprises squad. Happy to see.
