Round 13 - Raiders vs Broncos - Pre-Match discussion

[Alec]

Robinson is ordinary. And a cat.

Robinson is ordinary. And a cat.

Exactly. Where the hell did the Raiders poach him from? Oh, wait ...

 

[Big Pete]

Reece Robinson hat-trick tomorrow night.

Book it.

Brisbane always have a knack for letting crappy players (Stapleton, Zillman etc.) look tons better than they are.

 

[Danoz Direct]

Pretty sure Milford is playing, isn't he?

 

[Manbush]

Pretty sure Milford is playing, isn't he?

I believe so, the original rumours sounded like a joke with him suffering bronchitis and Tupou withdrawing from reserve grade gave it extra momentum, I'll be very surprised if he doesn't play.

On Robbo, on his day he can be a great attacking fullback but those days are too rare also his positioning is pretty poor and seems to hate contact.

Just on Zilly, not sure how aware you guys are of his junior reputation but he had wraps on him almost as big as Milf does, two knee recons later and he's not half the player he could've been.

 

[Kaz]

No pressure guys, but I have 7/7 in the tipping at the moment. Please win Broncos ;p

Great, just great, we a doomed now.

If we lose, we will say, you are such a Jonah.

:mad2:

Haha, yeah I remember those days quite well. 2007 seems like a long time ago now.

This was back in 2012 where Zillman was hands down the worst fullback in the game and he absolutely tore Brisbane to pieces.

If I was Dale Copley I'd be playing my heart out tonight on the wing. He has not be in the frame for the wing spot for QLD if slater and Ingliss are out. Their talking about gagai because his is big and strong. Copley is huge and has been playing great footy this year. Put him outside hodges and move Tate outside chambers if worst comes to worst.

Looks like a decent night in Canberra according to the weather bureau. It does no justice to the game to be playing in dewy and slippery conditions and if Brisbane turn up tonight expecting a continuation of their Manly form then they may be in trouble. Cold and slippery is what Canberra train in and I hope Griffin has been working on lots of change of direction plays. It's essential we keep Canberras bigger forwards moving laterally or side to side if you like.

I'm not confident we can win but know the sides capable of a win, we have been competitive all year despite having the years least effective 5/8. I don't blame Hoggman personally, he is after all only doing what he is told, I just wish he would be honest and ask Griffin to give someone else a shot. Give Nicholls a chance, one game can't hurt, it should be enough.

After last week's performance, I find myself in the odd situation of looking forward to tonight's match!

Please don't let me down, Broncs.

 

[Alec]

I'm excited in seeing some more sweet Hodges cut out passes.

 

[vertigo]

Gonna be a balmy 10 degrees at kickoff.

Feels like a win by a lot or lose by a lot game.

 

[Danoz Direct]

Hope both Barba and Milford play well.

 

[Brett]

I wish they'd show the 20's on Foxtel.

Anyway, weather forecast says possible showers and around 10 degrees - Canberra Forecast

No doubt it'll be overcast and the ground will be slippery and shitty. Hope our forwards are pumped up because it's going to be a much different game than a dry, Sunday afternoon at Suncorp.

I just checked the odds and we are well favoured to win. The punter in me thinks Canberra should be favourite or at least even money. Home turf, shitty weather, cold as charity and an un-televised Monday night game....

 

[Brett]

Bit of trivia; Ben Barba turns 25 this Friday, 13th June.

Smash them bro!

I'm betting hard out on the Broncos (I don't know if it's bad manners to post my betting receipt here as proof, so I won't)

The Raiders have nothing this season except gratitude that dispite having Sticky as coach, the Sharkies will save them from the spoon - this year.

Get an explosive early lead and the Raiders heads will go down and they'll basically defeat themselves.

Carn Broncos.
