PRE-GAME Round 1 - Sharks vs Broncos

[mitch222]

I certainly am. To me, it's no contest.

keep in mind I mean as a utility. Could Marshall fill in at the backline 1-5

 

[Porthoz]

Marshall without a doubt for mine. Despite losing some of his physical attributes, he has experience and far superior skills to Kiko in almost all facets.

 

[Accept]

He would fill in a lot smoother than Kodi would. Benji can cover a few positions whereas Kodi is just a dummy half who comes in the second half and occasionally has some impact. Benji every day of the week.

 

[Dash]

I'd take Benji, simply because I think Kodi needs to play 80 minutes at halfback in ISC each week, for his sake and the team's.

In all fairness, Offa had a chance to start last year and didn't make a single hit up. Not one fucking hit up

I remember a few of blairs games being just as weak ! Yet he is our starting prop !

 

[pagey]

I would rate it much easier back then when we had the equivalent QLD and Australian side running out for us. Like I said, he doesn't like to start inexperienced forwards unless he is forced to. Its the same philosophy with his bench too. He likes to have at least 2-3 experienced forwards on the field at all times and has dropped certain players back to the bench to strengthen the bench at times.

Exactly the reason offa could get to start , keep some experience on the bench

Not that weak. Offa was non existent that game

 

[pagey]

Well lets just say I was extremely disappointed as was Bennett. It wasn't his first game, he had played about 25 before that. The fact that he didn't grab hold of a golden opportunity was disappointing. He was rewarded and pretty much shit the bed deluxe. That said, I am all for second chances but I strongly believe he needs to earn his spot back on the bench before even thinking about starting. To start for you club you must earn it and in my books he hasn't earned a start yet.

Second chances! he's a rookie prop ! How many props hit the ground running at 20 yrs old . As for shitting the bed deluxe , really wasn't that bad over all his games .

 

[pagey]

Not saying Ese'ese should start. I just think that Sims and Blair will be the starting props.

I think they should sub for each other

 

[Renegade]

yeah, but Adam Blair went beast mode in 2015 after McGuire went down, so we know he's capable of it. Offa, so far hasn't shown he is.

 

[Kyall]

There was a time Blair was called "Teddy Blair"

 

[pagey]

No but for his experience and wage , he shouldn't be any wear near that .

He hasn't been given a chance as of yet! He is only young, napa is still inconsistent.

I feel some of the other guys like TPJ or Es'ese have made more of an impact at least to me, compared to Offa.

I know forwards mature later so I'm not saying **** him off from the club, but yeah, i'm yet to see him do anything of note in first grade. Until he starts kicking down doors in the ISC, play the other lads.

Hasn't been given a chance? Are you for real? He was given a golden opportunity and didn't take advantage of it. This year imo is his make or break year. If he doesn't settle into the side and become a permanent fixture then we should show him the door.

I want KNik to play 7 in the ISC as has been mentioned already by @Dash, give him the chance to be groomed for a shot at post-Hunt, see what he's got.

Which team was Kodi assigned to in the ISC?

 

[Danoz Direct]

Norths I'm pretty sure.
