It's not too many changes, but Shiba needs to be dropped and Anderson is now back so get him in there. Get Willison into the ****ing middle... I don't care who goes on the edge, but we are dying in the middle without Willison there.

Paix is a Madge pet, so I don't expect him to be dropped, but Rogers was going great in the middle and we need to give Patty a rest through games. I want to see Mozer back into the team, but he's only just returned from injury so might need a couple weeks. We need something out of dummy half

Can't agree with Mam. Bloke has to go back to Cup to find form, he is so down on confidence he is a passenger right now. I've supported him but when his first instinct is to run when he should pass, and pass when he has space to run, like he did pretty much 100% of the time today...the bloke is broken and needs time out.

Some others there hanging on by a thread. Patty needs to be benched, he's been awful. Reyno/Bunt/Walsh need to have a ****ing summit or something to get on the same page. We need an injection of energy somehow because there's no way we should have been so flat at home on a Sunday afternoon against the team who had lost 15 straight FFS.

I can't see a win here. Something stinks, the attitude is way off. What happened to the defensive wall we were showing up to the Roosters? Why/how do we look so damn tired all of a sudden after seemingly still being the fittest in the comp?

So many questions and even Madge looks at a loss for answers right now.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, I'd be mixing it up a bit.

Perham to centre for Shiba, Anderson onto the wing for Jesse. Speed out wide.
I'd be tempted to either play Patty or Willison up front and one of them on the bench, then play Rogers at lock.
Ezra out for Duffy.
Hooker is really a problem, we need to find some speed here, BHunt is toast, I'd still have to go Paix at 9 to start with Mozer on the bench.
 
**** it, changes needed. Metre making wingers, our most creative player in the halves and given the licence to take control, a captain who has some fire, Pat at prop getting rotated properly, Hunt to hold down the fort until Mozer makes an impact, a bigger bench.

Id be happy to see us reward some good cup performances from this weekend based on the severe lack of performance from several of our players in first grade. Show the players you drop this is how you get back.

Several changes needed really.

Patty apparently in a moon boot. Which crazy to say, he probably needs the break anyways. He was able to get himself up to his expected level for Origin, but we have not been seeing it. So a break may be needed.
 
You lads and lasses have less confidence than me damn... I saw it as a precursor to a Titans flogging personally. Our defence is better but damn have we lost all attack.

Well that's 50% more than we have. We can't defend or attack. And we are allergic of the ball, we don't like to complete sets.

Basically, we suck and the cupboard is pretty bare. It looks concerning this week, this season and next year. You guys should win comfortably, that' how bad we are going.

We just got smashed by a team that's forgotten how to win. Don't let the scoreboard deceive you.
 
I mean who cares, right now being a Lions and Broncs fan could not be more chalk and cheese from last year. Both are not even competitive at the moment. So why the heck not? Can't do any worse:

1. Walsh
2. Karapani
3. Staggs
4. Verhoeven
5. Arthars
6. Mam (such a shame The Difference isn't quite ready)
7. Reynolds/Duffy (if Reynolds is suspended)
8. Willison
9. Bunt
10. Paas
11. Piakura/Junt (if Piakura is suspended)
12. Shibasaki
13. Paix

14. Mozer
15. Semu
16. Talty

Who’s the difference? The broncos version of the barometer?
 
**** me our depth is trash. We've had our squad decimated over the last few years and done nothing to replenish it. No decent young talent on the forwards ready to even get given a chance

Hunt coming on at lock yesterday really straightened up our attack and I think even when Patty is back we need to spend more time with a small proper ball playing lock. Look at Laurie with the raiders last night - it’s how the game is going.

No idea how Duffy would work next to Reynolds but Ezra just has to be out of the team.
