Round 13 - Canberra vs. Broncos - Pre Match Discussion

[Big Pete]

I reckon you'll know within the first ten minutes whether we're worth watching or we're stuffed.

Been that way all season.

The problem stems from the teams approach. They seem hellbent on pacing themselves across the 80. The problem is, if you let the other team draw first blood you're constantly playing catch up both physically and mentally.

[MENTION=1848]ningnangnong[/MENTION] mate, I've seen you lose the plot on a number of occasions.

 

[noisetheory]

we'll be right.

Every time this year after a team has had 50 points put on them they've comeback to win the next week. Will be very hard to do it in Canberra especially when the Raiders only have 2 players backing up from Origin.

We might have the stat for first team to get beat by 50 two weeks in a row

Will have to occur in the next 2 matches then as we only lost by 38 pts on Monday

Only 38? Phew! I thought we got embarrassed for a second there. :biggrin:

 

[Bucking Beads]

I think we will see a turn around of some kind against the Raiders. It won't count for much if we don't start putting good efforts together week in week out and we start playing a better brand of football in attack and defence.

 

[hayseed]

Only 38? Phew! I thought we got embarrassed for a second there. :biggrin:

We were absolutely embarrsssed but let's not make it any worse than it already is

 

[Morkel]

Hodges a possibility to play on Monday.

 

[Mister Wright]

I reckon he'll play.

 

[Huge]

My fearless prediction is that we will not see a repeat of that dismal effort of last week. In fact I think you will see the Broncs going hard for the rest of the season. We will not have to be ashamed for the rest of this year. The turnaround has happened already. We are back.

I like your confidence, it fires me up too. :thumbup1:

 

[Coxy]

I expect a much better performance this week. But I can't see us winning in Canberra.

We're morals the next week

 

[Son Edo]

Double bye.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I wouldn't risk Hodges.

 

[Ari Gold]

I wouldn't risk Hodges.

We haven't done enough this year to deserve a luxury like risking Hodges.

And the way we are playing, it's not like his absence would really result in him missing anything other than more losses. We need him to play to try and tur things around, delaying it a week is no longer good enough.

 

[Son Edo]

We struggle to beat teams with our full strength side, resting players idea needs to get thrown out the window.

 

[Alec]

Resting Hodges still makes him miss every other game.
