PRE-GAME Round 12 - Broncos vs Sharks

Turpin and Luke both back means Paix will most likely miss out, which is unfortunate.
 
Wagging the dog.

Billy Slater:

“The Broncos need stability and you get that from your fullback, especially defensively. Darius, firstly, perfected the role. He’s a great defensive fullback, he’s played for his country, his state, he’s won two grand finals at fullback. But when you take that position off Darius, and then you take the captaincy off him, you nearly break his football soul. Darius has been a fraction of himself this year. And you take all those positions off him and they just lack a bit of leadership. I would definitely go Darius at fullback.”

Paul Gallen:

“The first thing I’d do is put Darius Boyd back to fullback. It sounds funny but fullback’s your first line of defence. When you’re a middle forward and you run back (in defence), you look at the fullback to tell you where to go. He tells you where to go. Darius Boyd’s sitting out in the centres doing absolutely nothing for this team at all. He’s the most senior play in that side, surely he’s got to be moved back to fullback. And that’s got to be a coach’s decision, doesn’t it? Surely.”

“I just can’t believe Darius Boyd is not at fullback. From a coaching point of view, I can’t believe he’s not at fullback.”

There is no reason why paix should lose his spot to Turpin. I thought he has been steadily improving and had his best game against Melbourne. If anything paix back to 14 and luke to start, let Turpin earn his spot back.
Turpin will start if he's fit. From the bench, if he's not quite there yet. You can bank that.

7th v 15th and just only a try difference at the line...why do the bookies over rate our rabble so much?

The Dogs had a gritty win over the Knights, the Eels could be in for another surprise too. We are definitely going to be last in the next 2-3 games.
 
Can i play devils advocate for a sec; why is Fifita allowed to come back?

He is no longer our future; we should be playing someone who is instead..?

The kids mentally soft, he now becomes a magnet for more fan-fuelled hate with every loss..?

He needs to play if for no other reason than to remind the club of the consequences of their failure to plan for the future
 
Its like last year when Johns kept undermining Nikorima and Seibold started breaking up the team.
FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD masquerading as our head coach!
