Rnd #1 Broncos line-up

[Dazza 92]

Ill say this; each trial game we have trotted out the stronger of the our line-ups; second half we make mass changes.

In the first half of each trial game we were leading...

Might mean something, might mean nothing....but for me, im not judging anything really until we play our first fair dinkum 80 minute game...

This is a good point, though I don't think too many were worried about the results necessarily, more around the way some of our issues evident last season still appear to be issues heading into this season. Let's hope if that is the case, they aren't left to fester for too long into 2020.

Agreed....per-seasons meaningless...think the Roosters are concerned about their performance..??

Newcastle Knights 58 (Barnett 2, Brailey, Ponga, Shibasaki, Hunt, Fitzgibbon, Watson, Sasagi, Hoy tries; Ponga 3/3, Lino 6/7 goals) def. Sydney Roosters 0

Sydney: Kepaoa, M. Baker, Tuipulotu, Tuitahi, Ikuvalu, Lam, Hutchison, Sulka-Fifita, Lussick, Faamausili, E. Butcher, Freebairn, Bailey Interchange: Moretti, Tivalu, Jackson, Thomas

Newcastle: Ponga, Lee, Tuala, Shibasaki, Hunt, Mann, Pearce, Klemmer, Brailey, D. Saifiti, Fitzgibbon, Guerra, Barnett Interchange: Watson, Ese'ese, J. Saifiti, Glasby, Hoy, Saulo, Lino, Toa, Roberts-Davis, Randall, Jones, Sasagi

Why would Sydney be worried about their reserve grade side getting pumped by a full-strength NRL side?

 

[Dexter]

Seems to me the best sides are equally good at both

It's like I'm talking to a rugby league savant.

I’m really keen to see what Jack Bird can do in the #1. I just wish he’d shave those damn sideburns!!

Isaako trying to win the right wing spot for Round 1 by literally giving Coates a heart attack.

 

[Big Pete]

First McCullough and now Isaako.

It really is the revenge of the nerds.

 

[Sirlee oldman]

Channel 7 saying Arthars will be on the wing.

Can't wait.

might be his only hope

 

[Unbreakable]

I feel like Arthars is more of a centre than a winger, but that's just me.

Guess we'll see how he goes, hopefully he smashes it.

He'll take Boyd's spot 3-4 rounds in.

Quote me on it.

Been one of our better players in pre season IMO. Looks hungry too. When the one on one misses start coming for Boyd, he’ll be under all sorts of pressure from this guy.

 

[Brett]

Arthars looks set to take the Wing position over Coates and Isaako.

Thoughts?
