Round 14 - Broncos vs Raiders - Build Up Thread

[Big Pete]

The issue is, Parker has DT's spot.

Lillyman has Shillo's.

I feel sorry for Parker but the Maroons loss will be our gain. icon_thumbs_u

 

[Big Pete]

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

Except scored the crucial try in half the games he played, including a screamer against the Storm.

He's a good young player, just needs to beef up.

The issue is, Parker has DT's spot.

Taylor lost rights to that spot when he was playing shit, The spot should now be Parkers to lose and he has done nothing to lose it.

 

[Big Pete]

I meant he's got the backrow spot.

 

[Coxy]

I know what you're saying, but I still think it'd be better to have Parker and Taylor on the bench. I know that then leaves Hannant as the only bench "prop", but to accommodate that I'd simply shuffle Thaiday towards the middle when Taylor comes on.

Last warning. Take it to the Origin forum.

Last warning. Take it to the Origin forum.

Well it does relate to this game as it's a question of whether or not Parker will be available for this game.

 

[Coxy]

Which is a key issue in the build up, correct.

 

[ningnangnong]

Fair point, lads.

Just don't trail off on a tangent, or I'll don my admin cap. :P

 

[noisetheory]

reports are that parker has retained his spot in the maroons team. (taylor in, lillyman out).

even with all the injury issues, i'm feeling good about this one.

I can see Blake Ferguson having a field day under the high ball.

Reed at lock is really unexpected. Not sure if I like that.

 

[uji]

Should be interesting....

Yea I agree. I really like what Reed has been producing from the centres, and Copley was a liability there last week. I probably would have went with Copley on the wing in expense of Moylan, and Frei debuting. But maybe Hook doesn't think he is ready, and Moylan has come very close to playing a few times this year. It will be interesting to see how Reed goes because in the future I think he will be a back rower.

Also, I remember at the start of the year when Reed was impressing in the centres, the Norths coach (Reeds QLD Cup coach) said he thought his best position was in the back row.

 

[Alec]

That looks like a top quality...QLD cup side.

 

[Big Pete]

Not a fan because it suggests to me the likes of Ahern and Lingwoodock aren't performing.
