PRE-GAME Round 11 - Broncos vs Storm

[Huge]

Maybe Seibs could trot out some Shakespearian tales of woe, juxtaposition and quarrels of war and love to stimulate the boys.

Mmm, maybe but it didn't work last month so I wouldn't be optimistic if he tried it again. I do love a good redemption story though.

I was thinking just the same. Perhaps Pies could recite "sonnet to a double bucket of KFC"

When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man’s art and that man’s scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
(Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

Milfs the only one who appeciated it though Carrigan knew it by heart but didn't think much of it. Payne and TPJ said, huh dafuq bra?

 

[Unbreakable]

Niu unlikely to play again this season according to Brent Read.

 

[Sproj]

Long term injuries to:

Fifita
Staggs
Lodge
Oates
Glenn
Gillett (medically retired)
Turpin
Niu
Arthars
Bird
Kahu

What is wrong with the medical department??

 

[Jason Simmons]

Is there an MRI/X-ray machine at the Clive berghofer centre?
FMD we sure have all the resources.
Too bad we can’t put together a decent football team.

There is, a full Q-Scan office, built into the building. A Radiographer mate of mine has cast his professional eye over it and opines they have a better Radiology setup than the Royal Brisbane Hospital...

I couldn't watch the last game ,highlights were bad enough. I now understand what it feels like to be Wylie coyote holding up the umbrella .

Interesting Shakespeare wrote that when theatres closed in England during a severe outbreak of plague ... and we have COVID and Boyd

I found this interesting. Our mental state, it gets put under the blowtorch about half way through the vid. Without resilience we are nothing. Seibold has said the same. Thing is, it is up to him to get the players to believe in themselves, otherwise they will fail until they do, and he will be held responsible rightly or wrongly or a bit of both. Without self belief we will never beat a good side who puts points on us. This is beyond roster changes although some change is needed to help the process.

O'Sullivan has been out long term also.

 

[Spoon]

Kahu was injured at the cowboys

 

[theshed]

I wonder if there is a more detailed way to quantify impact to clubs from injury. Not simply the amount of weeks totalled or total number of injured players, but a system that would show the depth of impact.

something that takes into account whether the injured player is a starter, benchy, or depth. Amount of salary cap used on injured players. Whether the injuries resulted in the need for the position to be filled by someone out of their usual position. Career game experience of the injured players. etc etc.

It would be cool to have an in-depth system that could analyse how impacted teams are compared to one another at any given time
or to previous seasons.

I think they only closed the theatres because of low attendance and didn't have the foggiest notion about contagion. Strange parallel that's for sure.

Dead set? That is pretty bloody impressive.
Now I’m convinced they are over-pampered babies.

 

[Browny]

Well we wouldn’t want the best medical treatment now would we.

instead let’s save money and have Dr Nick Riviera instead. Hi Everybody

 

[Culhwch]

Kahu was injured at the cowboys

I think Kahu injured himself signing his first Broncos contract, and it's only gotten worse since....

I think Dr Nick Riviera runs our conditioning and injury prevention.
