PRE-GAME Round 10 - Tigers vs Broncos

[rnabokov]

Oates to the centres? Centres are pretty much quicker backrowers these days anyway.

Oates and Coates?

Whatever. Have to get an extra bottle methinks

 

[rnabokov]

Think

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Oates draw and pass...

Undiscovered territories, uncharted waters, going where no man has gone before. Like I said, methinks another bottle on Friday night will be in order

 

[rnabokov]

Mixed with sedatives, I’m thinking.

Great minds Soup, great minds.

 

[BroncsFan]

I'm not going to take too much out of today's training session.

I think in the presser last week that Seibold said because of the short turnaround they will only get one heavy training session in this week, which I'm assuming will be the one 2 days out from game day (Wednesday).

Today's session seems like a bit of a rehab session for niggles from the weekend with the amount of guys in rehab bibs... I don't recall all these guys going down during the game.

Herbie with strapping on his thigh usually indicates a cork... they could leave that up to game day to see if it comes good.

Disappointing, but not unsurprising to see Staggs get another week given soreness late last week.

I think Fifita is pushing for storm game... was said last week that that was the plan. Journos could just be running with Parker's comments from the weekend.

Seibold usually gives a press conference on Tuesdays I think so he may flag some upcoming changes for TLT...

I'm not sure if he has already done his presser and passed the info onto the journos or if they're making assumptions based on what they're seeing on the training paddock

 

[The True King]

I'm kind of glad the Tigers are without BJ for this one. I think there's a good chance TPJ would be suspended for the season if those two were on the field.

In all seriousness though, Tigers are going to be much tougher to break down than the Dogs were. Bunnies barely got home with some very favourable refereeing and Penrith couldn't crack 20 points despite their recent form.

If we can contain Nofo's early set runs and then keep a close eye on Grant we should be fine defensively. I just hope our attack can cause them issues at the other end.

 

[rnabokov]

Arthars back for this one?

 

[1910]

I am close to 100% sure Walsh won't play- he weighs about 45kg just after lunch- he can't play on the wing in NRL yet, he's coming back from shoulder op and hasn't played MM since May and played school boy footy end of last year. I would be sure he just filled in at training for a spot.

 

[Dash]

Mixed with sedatives, I’m thinking.

Watching our attack isn't enough of a sedative for you?

 

[rnabokov]

I am eagerly awaiting Boyd's new opportunity to get lots of ball to show his attacking skills. So I will have the tissues at the ready ... for my tears of joy of course.

Pity Reynolds isn't playing. I would have really enjoyed watching TPJ step on him

He only just turned 18 a few days ago as well didn't he? Seems like a shit of a time to throw him into the deep end if true.

 

[Unbreakable]

CAN WE GET A FUCKING BREAK?

 

[winslow_wong]

Staggs to miss this week.
Farnworth also in doubt.
Fifita sounds like at least 2wks away.
Reece Walsh may make his debut.

Who the fook is Reece Walsh

This season can get absolutely fucked.... how is it that there are sooooo many injuries at training

To be honest this is a question that really needs to be asked, probably long before now. We seem to suffer far more injuries than most and a lot of them are occurring during training.

For a club as well resourced and with such state of the art facilities it really is not acceptable and someone needs to be made accountable.

 

[the_next]

Wtf actually goes on at training.
The joint seems like a curse.

 

[pagey]

Because we train at game intensity, or some bullshit like that.

 

[McHunt]

So let me get this right. We're missing:

Glenn
Turpin
Fifita
Niu
Farnworth
Coates
Staggs
Lodge
Arthars
Bird
Kahu
O'Sullivan
Palasia
Kahu

Did I miss anyone?

17 healthy players in the top 30, nice.

Riki is out injured as well, development player who was going to debut in R1.
