Round 14 - Broncos vs Raiders - Build Up Thread

[Big Pete]

Good post lyn, not exactly sure who I would select. I've seen a lot of Frei, really like the look of him, I don't think playing him once or twice would be a bad idea. Can't say for sure he's our best option though, my viewing of Ahern, Lingers and Britt has been limited.

Macca to lock was actually an idea I was considering, suppose it could happen mid-game if things unravel but can't see Griffin risk two relatively small guys in the forwards.

Canberra will likely look like...

1. Nathan Massey
2. Blake Ferguson
3. Jarrod Croker
4. Joel Thompson
5. Reece Robinson
6. Josh McCrone
7. Sam Williams
8. Dane Tilse
9. Alan Tongue (c)
10. Brett White
11. Joe Picker
12. Brosnon Harrison
13. Shaun Fensom

14. Glen Buttriss
15. Josh Miller
16. Dave Shillington
17. Tom Learoyd Lahrs

Will still be a tough game but after the game today they might enter the clash very flat.

Word is Parker might be dropped by Qld, that certainly helps.

 

[Coxy]

Dunno why Qld would drop Parker. He did fine in game 1.

 

[Big Pete]

Want to play a more high tempo game and want to bring Taylor in.

 

[Charmamba]

Poor Parker must feel like he plays for NSW sometimes, Comes in does a good job and gets dropped for a hyped up young bloke.

 

[Coxy]

OK, so drop Lillyman. He's a plodder.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Dropping Parker would be acceptable if it was for Shillington but not for Taylor IMO. Taylor is a myth the size of his arse FFS. We should beat the Raiders IMO.

 

[Alec]

Reed will be out as well, origin bolter

I keep seeing people mention this. Isn't he British?

Um....no. Sunshine coast junior.

Fair enough. I don't really know much about him, but I did read that he was born in England, so I just assumed that he was going to play for them.

 

[Coxy]

Nothing I've heard about that.

Man you obvisouly haven't watched Souths the last 3 weeks, including today. The guy is ripping at the moment, would love him back in to the side for either Parker or Lillyman.

3 games don't make a season. [eusa_doh

 

[Coxy]

No but it makes form.

 

[The Brizz]

No but it makes form.

It does Taylor has got his fitness up now and is in massive form, I think we would be silly not to pick him especially looking at how small NSW have picked for game 2 we can afford one less specialist prop so dropping Lillyman for Taylor would be brilliant.

 

[ningnangnong]

Dudes, there is an Origin forum for this sort of discussion. icon_thumbs_u

 

[user_nat]

Parker has been firing for 3 years.

 

[Coxy]

Agree. I don't condone dropping Parker. He should stay on the bench, Taylor in for Lillycrap

 

[kluppy]

surely we can find a better wing option the gagai..... he has done nothing.......

 

[Bucking Beads]

Gagai needs plenty if time before we see the best out of him. So much potential IMO. We have had worse wingers get more games.
