PRE-GAME Round 11 - Broncos vs Storm

[vertigo]

Call me crazy....I'm tipping a win this week.

If the Broncos win I'll drink my own piss.

You are crazy

 

[Accept]

You know the debutants have all been doing those videos where they’re excited and calling parents, etc.

This week it would be something like:

Gamble (calls parents in tears): I’m making my debut this week.

Parents (in tears): Oh you poor boy, you don’t deserve this son. We love you and our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Gamble's Bronco debut but he has tasted NRL action previously.

If I’m correct his only other NRL game was in 2018 for the tigers where they lost by 18 point to the titans.

vs. Raiders where they lost 48-12.

They actually led 12-10 at half-time.

I had completely forgotten which is understandable given he was a late inclusion and Josh Hodgson stole the show in his comeback game.

Ah that’s right. I knew it was one of their embarrassing outings. Got burnt by him as a cash cow for SuperCoach that year.

Melbourne Storm paying $1.40 for a 13+ plus win. That's just got to be great value. $1.08 for a win. How can the Storm not win by 13+ ????

We have a defensive specialist centre who will shut down all of their right side attack.

They have a line of -19.5... paying $1.90

That is easy money,
Has anyone got a price for the storm at -40?

What can you guys tell me about Gamble?

Very energetic and generally makes a difference to games. Adapts really well to change and slots in so he might do well coming off the bench- but he probably gets 4 minutes if he's lucky.

When he came back to Redcliffe last year after his stint at the Tigers three games stand out- Dolphins were down 22-10 with 12 minutes to go against Ipswich and they go left three times and score- Gamble was massive in all of them and then he kicks the winner from the sideline after the siren.

Against the unbeaten Falcons 15 games, he slots in mid week in a new team and kicks five goals to beat the Falcons- tryl-ess second half so his penalty goals were pivotal. That was the game were Harry Grant made 60 tackles.

Then finals, 24-24 just calmly pots a field goal against Tweed. He's very calm.

He sounds great. Might be just what we need. No wonder he hasn't been picked before now

Win us the grand final, you say?

Having just read the thread about the psychology behind, and driving our failure, unless things start happening to address the big picture behind the disaster, the Storm will obliterate us, and no one player, or the coach, can be held responsible for the on field final result.

Personally, again in view of the need to turn around our psychology of failure as it has to be done in that article by the sports psychologist, I will be more depressed by any inaction on that front rather than being flogged by a superior team

What can you guys tell me about Gamble?

My son played along side him in the Under 11's Met North team many years ago. He was a rough and tumble kid and even back then, you could tell he had that little bit extra. The only other boy from that rep side to thus far play in the NRL is Jayden Nikorima. Another one has played for the Qld Reds and another has played cricket for Qld. Sadly, two others have passed away. My son lost interest at about age 15 or 16 as it got too rough for him and despite being 6'5, he lacked that extra toughness and drive required to make a go of the sport. All the qualities that this Gamble fellow possesses and hopefully he can forge a career with the Broncos.

So, another young kid whose careers about to go to shit......and our coach is happy..?

Sigh...

This is not all on our coach...no fucking way...

There is a cancer in this group...dunno who...but you have to dig and dig and keep on digging to find them....and **** them off...

It will cost Siebs his job probably....but nothing changes here until the cancer is dead...

Then...we can all start again.....

Im fearing Fifitas gone too for next year...part of me cant blame the kid either...

They will have a nice team there next year, particularly the forwards...
