PRE-GAME Round 13 - Broncos vs Titans

[I bleed Maroon]

Injury free coming out of Origin. Hopefully Payne backs up and is fired up after being largely ineffectual for the blues

He was heaps good. He played 40 minutes and made over 30 tackles with the highest effective tackle rate of any nsw forward...as an 18 year old prop with 10 nrl games.... The blues lost momentum when he went off, he wasn't their best forward but he held the middle together and made no mistakes when the maroons rushed him in defence and got numbers on him. Astonishing for an 18 year old..

I thought we handled him with ease tbh, but his workrate and effort was still top notch. In terms of Impact though, I thought Fifita was more effective.

Joffa may be doubtful if it's a bad cut.

 

[Fernando]

Ofa picked up a cut on his knee which ended his night, must be pretty severe you'd think. He looked really good before that too, been great since he signed his new deal.

Ofahengue didn't finish the match due some knee cut that was too deep to repair. could possibly miss the match

Oates was limping as well..

I think Oates is fine. I think he just landed a bit awkwardly. Finished off the game and didn't appear to limp after that.

I think he'll remain in the side. Ofahengaue is IMO a definite out and Gillett is 50/50.

Ofahengaue to sit out ... Carrigan in ... and some tissues for Wolfie

You have to wonder how he cut his thigh. I thought sharp tags went out in the 80s.

I prefer Turpin over Macca at the moment but I don’t see what Macca offers off the bench. He has no impact and his only positive is a consistently high work rate over big minutes. What would bringing him off the bench in the last 25 minutes add to the team?

I think he will start despite Turpin wearing the 9.

Joe's cut was deep, missed tendons and he will see a specialist this morning.

How did he get that? Did someone shiv him? I always knew NSW were grubby.......

 

[Culhwch]

Maybe he got hit by a flying shoe?

Enjoying the anaesthetic by the looks of it. Geez he played well.

Joe is out 2-4wks. In doubt for Origin II.
