PRE-GAME Round 12 - Broncos vs Sharks

[Jedhead]

Now seibs has done it you watch all the so called experts change their mind and claim it is a bad decision ... despite the fact that they've been calling for it to happen for weeks

I confess I'm no expert, but I've been calling for him to be dropped out of the side altogether.

1 prop on the bench (shenanigans)

Come on, five props starting and three second rowers on the bench, balance you know!

I await the inevitable calls of "wHy Has TPJ bEEn TakEn OFf" in the live thread at the 20 minute mark

 

[Galah]

was Fifita scheduled to be back this week?

 

[simplythebest]

who would have thought a non full back playing full back with one hamstring wouldn’t be shit?

Fat Antonio obviously

Still not sure if you mean Siebold or Milf......

Wow. I totally forgot milfs first name

 

[Mustafur]

When will SoS be back from the ACL?

 

[GCBRONCO]

Out of interest here is the full match if anyone wants to watch it, I will warn you the second half is where all the points are lol. Bob Conway underrated forward with a kicking game as well.

Coach Piehole:

“Darius has played the majority of his career in that position (fullback) and done a good job defensively for us.

 

[Big Pete]

I don't think Seibs had any other choice but to swallow his pride and select Boyd at fullback. He went with the back-up, the rookie, the experiment and none of them worked. It's the toughest position in the game and in this situation it's best to go with the devil you know. Darius will allow the Broncos to play a more expansive brand of footy and I expect Darius to respond well to the shift.

One massive in for the Broncos is the return of Jake Turpin. Jake has been sorely missed since he broke his leg against the Eels and he will make a big difference in the ruck. I think it's unfortunate for Paix and believe he should have been given the opportunity to fail, but I agree that the Broncos should manage his work-load heading into 2021. The Broncos have these senior players here to help them out during this tough time, I'd use them and let the younger players develop at their own pace.

Speaking of, I'm happy to see Bullemor back. Given the roles Ofahengaue and Kennedy have played in recent weeks against the Tigers and Storm respectively, I felt he could have easily been given that game time just to get a feel for the middle. I like what I've seen from him. Like a lot of young forwards he needs to develop his fitness so he can have more involvement, but that's what that 15-20 minute mid-second half interchange is for.

I'd be looking to bring Riki in for a game or two before the season is over. He's a quality prospect and I believe he could play a role in digging the Broncos out of this situation. I'd be looking to bring him in for Bullemor and giving him those minutes later on in the game just to get a feel and a sense of confidence heading into 2021.

It is a bad decision, have we all forgotten so quickly why our “fearless leader” Darbs had to be turfed from the position in the first place? Suddenly 7 runs for 40/60m (whoever you believe) doesn’t seem so bad...

No one has forgotten but the cupboard is pretty fucking bare.
