PRE-GAME Round 10 - Broncos vs Roosters

[winslow_wong]

I’d like to see shibasaki take a lot more runs from dummy half. Even though his hands have been buttery, he still looks like a unit and can run a bit.

I was reminded today why I scroll past rugby league Facebook associated pages.
Some of the comments...FMD people are moronic

Roosters definitely have the edge, particularly and noticeably in the spine.

Here's a reminder of what happened last season. Note the exact moment the tide turned massively in our favour in the 23rd minute (2:35 into clip). We'll be a lot stronger this time around, without the dead weight at dummy half:

I honestly think the Roosters side is considerably better this year than the last, even if they swapped one of the best wingers in the game for a really under performing back rower (so far). Keary, Tedesco, Mitchell, SST etc. all look like they are getting even better. I think they had to use more depth than any other NRL side this season, but once they have all of their players back...watch out.

This is definitely a great time to take them on though. I just wish we had a better run of form coming in than just 1 win. Also would have been good to have Roberts and Bird at their best.

Surely Segeyaro is playing?

As I mentioned earlier, Seibs has repeatedly said he thinks a hooker should be an 80 minute player, so this is inline with his usual gameplan. However, he doesn't have a centre on the bench. Which makes me suspect he's more likely to switch Roberts in there at the last minute than Segway.

Surely the Chooks are due a loss.

I'd like to see some kind of game plan specific to beating the chooks like forcing Latrine to make a lot of tackles.

Ryan Hall is set to make his return this week.

Expect him to be promoted to the starting side.

Why aren't people listening to you?
Totally agree and my plan is so simple. Set up your forwards, directly on Mitchell and don't play up the middle. Don't run a single hitup for the first twenty minutes anywhere but at him and even wait for him to regain his feet and get into position! Drive a spike through him and his place in the defensive line. Make him tackle big bastard after big bastard until he's made 25 tackles at least. I know it would leave other defenders fresh and there would be other considerations but it might achieve another benefit other than simply wearing out/ destroying Mitchell.

I think it's simple.

He has a bad groin, target it.

With the honey bees???

The girls at honeybees can target my groin whenever they like.

The irony is if we'd had a snappier dummy half than Macca delivering that pass he probably would've made the field goal before getting swamped by defenders and not scored that fantastic try.

Totally agree totally. Also do the same with all their other players.

That was some underwhelming commentary

They will also be targeting your wallet.

Don't start me on Warren Smith with his randomly stressing every other word.
