Round 13 - Raiders vs Broncos - Pre-Match discussion

[broncos4life]

I know. I meant ACT is located within NSW. I probably should have said that.

Bit of a mega blonde moment...

I think I need to lay off the liquor.

Nah, drink more mate :)

 

[Alec]

Mate, no.

Canberra is in the ACT. Nsw surrounds it but Canberra is within it's own territory

Not when it comes to Origin selection, apparently.

 

[Broncoman]

Wow this is one boring and useless conversation

 

[Porthoz]

Yup, that's how I've always felt about a thread of hope and despair in the Origin forum...

Then don't be a part of it.

Macca needs to kick a lot from dummyhalf (if he plays)

We have to turn their massive pack around as much as we can to tire them.

 

[Morkel]

Hopefully Ricky is in a tanty mood, drives his players in to the ground at training and they've all got no legs left when they play us. The simplest thing would be to put everything in to our first 20 minutes, blow them off the park to the point where all the crap the club is going through makes the players think it's hopeless and they switch off.

 

[Foordy]

blueprint for beating Stick coached teams over the last few years:

1. get off to a flyer
2. Stickys team drop their heads
3. coast home for a 50 point win

This. It's something we don't do.

Also, don't kick to Milford, not however like we didn't kick to Inglis

He put in some good kicks against Manly that had them pinned down deep in their own half.

Something all the good sides do.

Yes. I also want to see more short kicking over the defensive line midway between it and Milford, with Hunt and Barba and Gillett or Glenn chasing.

The defensive line needs to be turned around repeatedly on both short, middle distance and chip kicks with at least 2 chasers.

One of our strengths is speed and mobility. We need to harness them, play to them, more.

And I also like Vidot offloading last week - more of that please

IMO sometime Barba is going to have an amazing game like in 2012 and when he does he will never look back.

Hope it is this one.

Hope it is this one.

If Milf makes it to the Broncos next year it would be good to have Barba have one up on him already and not feel as much pressure to avoid being overshadowed by another young prodigy. He's a confidence player and Milford running rings around him on Monday could break that will a bit for the rest of the year

On another note its interesting that Kennedy hasn't even been selected to play for Ipswich this round? Is he injured/suspended? Otherwise out of favor?

No sure, hope he picks up his form or moves on.

He's never named. He's playing for the Jets tomorrow.

Stagg playing for Wynnum tonight.

 

[Super Freak]

I can't see a win. I think the Manly game was just a fluke and Raiders will bring us back down to earth.

Hopefully that works....
