Round 1 - Bulldogs vrs Broncos; Pre-Match Discussion

[I bleed Maroon]

prepare for them both to be named.

What happened to Copley?

 

[noisetheory]

What happened to Copley?

what. he'll be in the centres with reed.

 

[noisetheory]

eh, i'd honestly rather maranta than mills. just my opinion.

wish theyd name the side already.

 

[vertigo]

1. Barba
2. Hoffman
3. Reed
4. Copley
5. Vidot
6. Kodi N
7. Hunt
8. Mcguire
9. Macca
10. Hannant
11. Glenn
12. Sam
13. Parker

14. Kennedy
15. Lowrie
16. Gillett
17. Hala

Let Macca play 80 minutes - they are supposed to be a lot fitter - arn't they
give the kid a go at 5/8th - he is good and will only get better
give Hunt the opportunity to combine with JUST ONE 5/8TH

AND LET THEM PLAY ATTACKING FOOTY NOT THAT BORING CRAP FROM LAST YEAR

Hoping for this... this should be our side all season.

 

[Donald]

What I think the side will be:
1. Barba

10. Parker
11. Glenn
12. Gillet
13. Thaiday

13. Parker

14. Gillet
15. Kennedy
16. Hala
17. Granville

I want a team that is capable of scoring points.

My team looks more potent IMO. I'd rather lose 28 - 24 then 10 - 6. I want to see us score some f***ing tries.

 

[noisetheory]

hoffman is being named at 6, we know this.

with that in mind (accepting its happening), im hoping for

1 barba 2 vidot 3 reed 4 copley 5 maranta 6 hoffman 7 hunt 8 kennedy 9 macca 10 hannant 11 gillett 12 thaiday 13 parker
RES: 14 glenn 15 lowrie 16 mcguire 17 jwallace

 

[vertigo]

I'd rather lose 28-24 than 28-6.

Fixed :winky: our defence is poo.

[jarro65]

Parker should not be at prop !!!

 

[Splinter]

I can accept Hoffman at 6 for a few rounds until Kahu comes back but will do my block if he names Thaiday or Parker at prop

 

[noisetheory]

3 props on the bench but parker starting there? strange.

youd think after the first 15 that parker will move to '13' with two other real props on the field the rest of the game.

still an odd selection in my mind.

 

[Ari Gold]

What an absolutely shit team. I hope the Dogs win by 50 so someone finally gets the message.

Positives:

Vidot is in the team
griffin won't last past round 4

Negatives:

Everything else

 

[broncos4life]

Serious question here, do Glenn and gillett have something written into their contracts that they must start? It's like they aren't allowed to be benched

 

[BroncosFan_Corey]

Why not have Nikorima at 6, Hoffman at 2 and Vidot at 5 and no Maranta?
