POST GAME [Round 13, 2023] Broncos vs Warriors

[Foordy]

why cant he be our next 7.. you dont think he has speed skill iq kicking

our next 7 needs to be a game manager ... that's not Sailor.

 

[Big Pete]

What did you make of Capewell shifting into the middle, Pete? Potential as a long term strategy to bring Piakura into first grade next season?

Definitely felt like better value out of Capewell

I've seen @BooKhaki make the suggestion a few times and it clearly paid off tonight. I thought Kobe and him worked well in tandem and it just allowed them to cover that middle better and generate momentum through the ruck.

13 is still a position that needs improvement at the Broncos and you'd almost be tempted to make it a permanent arrangement. Unfortunately, as we all saw the Broncos are light on edge backrows. If they could pick somebody up between now and the deadline, it could be monumental.

is it though he is smart can kick.

maybe but...not sure you are correct

patty front row

devastating kobe lock..not much to dislike

 

[Broncorob]

Jesus, he's played 5 career games and all of a sudden he's going to be our next HB. If only rugby league was that easy. He's a natural FB who will be hoping for a regular first grade berth in the future. Unfortunately, that won't occur at Red Hill.

you have a better option...

How good was Palasia tonight. Stood up big time. He was probably my biggest concern coming into this game because from what he dished up to begin the season he was the most out of his depth to live up to the task of replacing Haas in the props. Not that it was a Haas-esque performance but it was a very strong performance that allowed for us to attach of the platform he and everybody else set.

I was also super pleased with how we got out of our own end. Admittedly I thought we would be atrocious in that area and whilst we weren’t world beaters we did exceptionally well with the cavalry we had. In the past month we have struggled severely getting out of our own end with far better players and yet this week we changed up both our attitude and approach to it. Great to see heaps of variety in who, when and the types of runs to get out of our own end.

 

[Broncorob]

Locky was a 6 that we converted into a fullback.

Sailor is a 6 that converted to 1

not saying best option but ...not bad i think the kid has something

 

[Foordy]

Sailor is a 6 that converted to 1

even if you're correct , and i'm not sure you are ... don't start even trying to compare Lockyer to Sailor.

that's like comparing the local under 15 side with the Australian Kangaroos

 

[Accept]

you have a better option...

I haven't even thought about it yet. ARey could be around for another 3 years if his body co-operates. I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict that the Bronco's next HB is not currently with the club.

fair call.

a spine of mozer sailor mam walsh

looks ok

love to see Joshie Rogers a chance but always a good back up
i reckon sailor can be coached in 2 years to be a gun half...but hey just my opinion

Keenan has always been better starting and playing decent minutes. Obviously in our pack that can't happen but I wasn't worried about him tonight

A bit like the few times Casino Joe started at lock and played big minutes - looked right at home

I've been calling it for a while. I believe Patty is our Flegler replacement if we can sign someone like Frizell/Su'a and move Capewell to lock. I only saw bits and pieces of the game as I was working, but it doesn't surprise me he played well in the middle.

. would like to dee Frei have a crack late bloomer

 

[Mr Fourex]

Harris didn't even know what he was challenging and i thought they were supposed to specify what they wanted challenged.

Nobody knew...LOL ...not even Sutton.

They had to replay it
to review that absolutely nothing happened.
