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

[Foordy]

so, does that make Piakura the $500k worth of 'lack of options'...amazed so many folk here seem to have forgotten about this bloke..

Remind me WHY we paid him what we did..?

Could that money have been better spent on a fullback or hooker?

About to find out i reckon...

Anyway...positive vibes....

the media have been reminding us for the last 3 months that Piakura is suspended and will miss round 1

Unless NRL protocols dictate routine testing I think there will be a fair bit of don’t ask, don’t tell going on by clubs.

You're missing the bit where it makes you sick and others don't want you around in case they catch it from you.

 

[McHunt]

So does Turpin play 80? Eughk

Roberts can cover dummy half or rotate Billy.

Did anyone else just hear David Riccio state on NRL360 that Adam Reynolds is on $1.1million a season for the next four years at the Broncos ??

we're laughing at him in the roster tracker thread

 

[Old Mate]

I know there’s injuries and that but seeing Isaako in the spine and Gamble out (who showed he’s our best halfback after Reynolds) makes me sick.

just seen about Gamble having COVID also, no good.

So I wasn’t hearing things?

You’re missing the bit where if it means the difference between winning or losing there are NRL clubs that would rather not know & keep their players on the field.

Roberts is laughable. I dont think people could have watched him last year in ISC. If i said he was mediocre i would be being very generous. I would have rather seen us put Martin at 14 or run with 4 forwards over Roberts.

Not a fan of shifting around the trial props either. Find another 13 so there is less disruption once Kobe is back.

 

[Scorchie]

Reynolds signed with Brisbane about 36 weeks ago. That's 36 weeks he's had the chance to catch covid. And he catches it the week before round one ffs.

As much as it sucks he'll miss round one i can only imagine the damage it would have done to us had he played not fully fit and been a bit off the pace and broncos lost. We would of been hammered and the boys confidence shot.

I know its a glass half empty take on it but if we go down heavily without Reynolds at least they can have a an excuse and will go into round 2 positive about his inclusion.

Probably made him go to Townsville in order to get Covid to give his hammy a little longer to recover

If Reynolds is sick, he's not fit to play. It's not just about being able to sneak him on the field. It's about him not being up to the task.

It’s from the same bloke that picked Karmichael Hunt!

I wasn’t talking about Reynolds, I was speaking in general. There will be players that are asymptomatic & there will be clubs who would rather not test unless they have to.

Riccio is a sharks fan, probably still dirty about them missing out.

That's just malicious gossip.

 

[nopatience101]

That's just malicious gossip.

You’re right, a footy club would never jeopardise the health of a player to win a game…

Its called cynicism… I am surprised someone that reveres the likes of Pete Badel would take offence with the unsubstantiated.

But we're still winning by 30 though right??

I've got a lot of money riding on your tips... I'm deep in the hole from following them, but when one of them comes off I'll be miles back in front!!
