Roberts being named on the extended bench is moderately interesting, guess his injury isn't that severe.

Wouldn't mind Su'A coming on to the bench, he needs a chance sooner rather than later, absolutely crushed in the Aus vs NZ U20 game.

Interesting that he's on the bench. Massive bullet dodged if he plays (I mean in terms of how severe it looked).

Aitken shit all over Kelly a few weeks ago, what will Jimmy do to him.

If he doesn't play then it's pretty much 1 - 17. Only argument might be Pearson for Fai or Offa (noting that Bennett likes a utility type on the bench).

Can't see why Su'A gets a go. Hasn't set the world on fire in ISC and the other guys in first grade are going ok.

Im going :wink:

Will have my newly acquired Bronx shirt over the top of my Manly shirt, cannot lose !!

Fai!! We all rate him, about time he gets his shot.

Roberts was trotted out in the indigenous jersey, do not be surprised if he plays. That looks a VERY good side.

If he does, we should win easily. Every time we get a scrum on our left edge - shift to Niko, Roberts, Boyd and Kahu on the right. Try every time.

Garry says he is no chance of playing.

On another note, It will be nice to see the boys playing on a Saturday.

Won't be televised free to air? Anyone know?

We can all dream and at the very least, it will be giving Manly a sinking feeling in their stomachs.

Glenn picked up a cork in the Cook Islands game on the weekend according to the guys on Fox, so cover maybe in case Glenn isn't quite right?

No.

Fox Sports have the rights for Saturday games.

 

[Foordy]

I'm putting money on Glenn and Ese'ese starting for Sims and Thaiday

AMES Roberts is an outside chance of making a shock return for the NRMA Insurance Broncos this weekend.
Roberts was named as 18th man for the Broncos today as they get set to meet the Manly Sea Eagles in game two of Saturday’s double header at Suncorp Stadium.
It was feared Roberts had broken his leg late in his scintillating three-try performance against the Panthers back on April 27.
However scans the following day revealed he had ankle ligament damage, which has improved significantly since then.
Roberts will now return to training with the main squad and has the chance to be included against the Sea Eagles.
“James is now cleared to return to run at training and then return to playing as soon as he is able,” confirmed Broncos’ High Performance Manager Jeremy Hickmans today.
With Roberts named at 18th man, New Zealand Test centre Jordan Kahu slots in from the wing to take his place.
David Mead will start on the wing.
The Broncos’ starting pack is intact, with all five players who played for international teams last weekend cleared to play.
Korbin Sims (Fiji), Adam Blair (New Zealand), Sam Thaiday and Matt Gillett (Australia) and Josh McGuire (Samoa) have all been named to start the game.
George Fai is the new name on the interchange list, and if the young Souths Logan forward plays against Manly it will be his NRL debut.
Junior Kangaroo Jaydn Su’A, Joe Boyce and Jonus Pearson join Roberts in the extended reserve squad.

[Jason Simmons]

I had an inkling Roberts might be right, when the Broncs rolled him out in their indigenous round jersey...

 

[Unbreakable]

Don't rush him, give him another week or two. I'm keen to see how Kahu goes in the centres for a couple of games anyway.
