Stop dropping the ball. We might win.

 

[Galah]

Mam needs to sort it out

 

[winslow_wong]

Feels like forever ago we played in NZ. Another tough game.

 

[BooKhaki]

Kevvie needs to use the interchange like someone with an IQ above 5.

 

[Santa]

No origin players, away game, and Warriors coming off a bye...

Broncos 52 - Warriors 6

 

[Sproj]

I'm not gonna lie, origin affected team lists are Sprojy heaven.

1. Farnworth
2. Oates
3. Staggs
4. Mariner
5. Arthars
6. Mam
7. Reynolds
8. Jensen
9. Walters
10. Palasia
11. Piakura
12. Riki
13. Hetherington

14. Paix
15. Taupau
16. Willison
17. Te Kura

That's what I'd go with given worst case scenario where all of Carrigan, Capewell, Cobbo, Walsh, Flegler and Haas are all out.

 

[Galah]

Walsh surely isn’t playing

 

[Galah]

Capewell shouldn’t either

 

[Mustafur]

If Walsh is 18th Man I would put Sailor, Herbie isn't a creator and I think Walsh proves we need a creator at fullback even though I think he would be like Dylan Edwards at 1.

Kev to name Herbie at 1 but make a last minute change just to keep that streak of denying him a chance going.

 

[Foordy]

I know I'm the eternal optimist ... but we might get an impartial ref for once.

But only because the NRL will be confused about who to rape this match.

Although a competent ref is another story, since they don't exist within the NRL ranks ... maybe the NRL should scout the under 6 level of every other sport in the world, they could hardly do a worse job than this current crop.

He should. He’s not a fullback. At fullback you need to pass the ball. He’s also leaving, so you know, get fucked Herbie.

 

[Santa]

While it sucks to get the Warriors off the bye, probably a good time to play them. They don't seem as good as they were at the start of the year.

Also have they even been that good? Close wins against a bunch of struggling teams...

Nothing to really debate about I wouldn’t think. Can’t see Flegs or Walsh making origin and I don’t think Capes is far away from missing. Pereira on the wing for purely metres. Oates and him will be the 2 extra forwards. I think we can win it considering we will have the majority of our backs and spine there. Just need to make metres. Can’t be in a position where we aren’t making metres. Just need to get down their end of the field and create as many chances as possible. One thing is for sure if we put in the same effort in defence tonight we can come away with the W. Big game here to alleviate some pressure on the ladder.

 

[Mick_Hancock]

True that @Santa. Sadly without our forwards it’s not an automatic win for us.
Full strength team? I think we pump them.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

We need to go to NZ and put a score on. I'm not sure it can be done, but we need it nonetheless.

 

[Super Freak]

Can’t see Flegs or Walsh making origin

With Papalii retiring from rep footy effective immediately and Ponga's concussion history, I don't see either of them being available.
