PRE-GAME [Round 1, 2022] - Broncos v Rabbitohs

[McHunt]

So just wanted to clarify
- Reynolds and Hetherington can play rnd 1 if they return a negative test ?

If they return a negative test, they're fit to play, and the club deems their health isn't at risk by playing so soon after a positive result.

Anyone keen on starting a GoFundMe to sway the clubs decision?

Someone stand in for them for the tests lol

Yes, but apart from returning a negative test they need to be fit enough to play. The most commonly reported side effect post-covid is fatigue. The unpalatable truth is it might take months to regain elite fitness.

Bubble-O said he was fine coming back from Covid but some of the other boys were struggling. Perhaps someone here who's had Covid might share their experience.

And somehow Flegler will get another six weeks despite not playing.

Only 6 weeks? Flegler working hard!

Hetherington is feeling alright, sniffles but not too bad- his car washed away last week so that is upsetting him more.

Not too bad, can't complain.

I think we should just pick Ali Brigginshaw and keep Reynolds safe until Round 2.

How do I ‘love’ this post?

Surely the club's major sponsor can help out with that.

@McHunt I feel like The Kid is just so much more appropriate.

Like everyone on here I just want to see improvement in the team similar to the last 6 rounds of last season.
Better defensive attitude and more talk. Less errors. Players backing up and looking for offloads. Playing 80 mins. Kicking to space.
We don’t have to be flashy - just get in the contest and stay in the contest.
We know Staggs can create a try. Capewell as well. And dare I say it - Isaako.
But we need to hold teams to 18 or less and complete sets.
Let’s see what they’ve learnt in the off-season.

Oh I totally forgot, tomorrow is team list Toosday.

Oh I totally forgot, tomorrow is team list Toosday.

Can we have a list from you as to what you think it might be then?

 

[Unbreakable]

Reports coming out that Isaako is training at Fullback and Cobbo is training with the reserves.

Sounds like this will be the R1 back line -

1. Isaako
2. Oates
3. Farnworth
4. Staggs
5. Pereira
