Well if we cant beat them with two first choice forwards and backs out we are well and truly stuffed.
Apparently Hasler said this this morning
Oh, I didn't see that.
It helps calm me down a little bit.
Klemmer will give us more trouble than Kasiano
Still, we may have picked the Dogs up at the right time. They'll be without a lot of key personnel and it will take them awhile to adjust to life without Barba. Can never under-estimate them though and I suspect this game will go down to the wire.
I reckon Barba will be the difference and we'll make it two on the trot against the Doggies. Like the last game, it will give us something to smile about but won't exactly ease any nerves heading into the rest of the season.
I question whether Nikorima is ready for the NRL. Because apart from the nines he hasn't really demanded selection. People only seem to be calling for his selection based on what he did in the nines and that is a completely different style of game compared to the 13 a side game.
Thankfully yesterday's Twitter feed softened the blow somewhat but I can't help but feel disappointed with the team.
It's just a very safe team, and by that I mean, it's the type of team you assemble when you want to try and fit all your best available players in your starting 13. The problem I have is that it seems like nothing was learned from the Warriors game and that the issues we had were written off as just a bad performance on the day. In fact, the only player to pay the price for the trial game was Stewie Mills, who struggled but was hardly the only one out there who let the team down.

I expect Hoffman to be used as a running 5/8 similar a Sutton. I think a Barba will be used as the second play maker from the back.
And unlike many on here I'm prepared to actually give them a chance before completely writing them off.
P.s. Sorry for not whinging about hook in this thread, I know I'm meant to regardless of the thread im in
Like they did last time, yeah?
That game was in Brisbane and the Dogs were guaranteed a home final regardless of the result so neither team had too much on the line in terms of competition points. Plus we didn't have Hoffman at five eight in that game.
Hoffman playing in the halves isn't just disgusting as a Broncos fan, it's disgusting as a league fan in general. I want the Broncos to succeed, but this would be like succeeding with poop in your pants.
