PRE-GAME Round 12 - Broncos vs Sharks

[Gaz]

Oh damn there’s a game to be played this week after all this distraction

Not that long ago, or so it seems, I was scanning the airwaves trying to find a live stream of our trial matchs to see how our upcoming season was shaping. Now that we’re getting flogged every game sadly I have lost the excitement. Looking forward to the day we can at least become competitive again.

You know how the coach quoted the Roosters young uns in their spoonish year, didn't they also replace the coach?

 

[Unbreakable]

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but Lodge confirmed today that he did in fact tear his MCL in that injury that forced him from the field a few weeks ago, so he's unlikely to be back for a while. He's hopeful he won't need surgery though.

Also admitted that he came back too early from the ACL injury and was clearly underdone this season. At least he acknowledges that, hopefully he's 100% for next season, we need him back to his best.

No need to rush him back we arent making the finals. Just keep on hoping now we scrape a cpl wins in and that doggys start loosing again and titans dont win anymore we need to avoid that spoon.

 

[realist]

Do we have a fb that can organise a defence well enough so that we get less than 40 points put on us every week?

Actually, i think it was Robinsons 3rd year in charge.

Boyd is probably your best bet for that, don’t expect any contributions on kick returns, attack or any tackles to be made though.

Yes we do, Darius.

 

[Renegade]

i haven't thought this for a while now, but I think we can actually win this game.

So do i.

IF we can somehow replicate our first half attitude against the Storm, we could really worry the Sharks.

The pressure will be on Johnson to perform if Townsend is ruled out with injury.

We just need to show up ready to rumble !!

yep, i agree. the sharks have been pretty inconsistent imo and if we can rattle them early, I think we can get up.

 

[The True King]

The worry for me is that the Sharks are scoring alot of points.

R11 - 28pts v Dragons
R10 - 46pts v Warriors
R9 - 24pts v Penrith
R8 - 40pts v Titans
R7 - 40pts v Manly

I think at a bare minimum we are conceding 20 points. The question is can we score that many?

 

[heartly87]

1 Staggs
2 Herbie
3 Kennar
4 Boyd
5 Coates
6 Paix
7 Dearden
8 Flegler
9 Turpin
10 Haas
11 Offa
12 TPJ
13 Carrigan
14 Luke
15 Kennedy
16 Bullemore if not in Canberra/Te'o
17 Lodge

Staggs at one gets him on the ball more and out of the line where his defensive reads are actually awful at times.

Humour me.

Staggs is no for me at fullback. It requires a lot of running and his post injury legs are at risk.

 

[heartly87]

Milford is not the guy you put in at fullback mid season. Especially after a lockout too. He needs a whole preseason at fullback to get him in shape. He’s a 5/8th or nothing for mine and I’d be happy to keep him there with dearden.

Milf can piss off. The guy puts a thigh sleeve on to give him an excuse. An out for a terrible or peahearted performance, exactly what he ended up doing. He lacks commitment and I am sick of the guy. Fatty was right, if there was a chip on the ball Milf would be all over it. He is a lazy fat prick and people have been saying it for years.

I don’t think we could score that many if we played the sharks 3 times.

I'm having a shitty morning, so I'll say this: Just give it to Fifita so he'll run through them as hard as he has to the Titans.

If he doesn't play, then fair enough. He can continue his rehab. He needs to be at his best for his new club.

4th year in charge.
