Forget over a hooker? The question is why you'd pick Wright over me or you Pete.!
Deadset, that is close to the worst play I've ever seen. The lack of awareness in both situations you're referring to Pete is horrendous. Lolohea with 40 seconds to go, should have just focused on grounding the ball and having a drop out. You get 45 seconds anyway, it would have ended the half.
And Wright, dead set, I thought Maranta's awareness was bad at times, but Wright takes it to a different stratosphere.
Can't believe someone can be smart enough to practice building a wall to take field goals can be so dumb as to pick Jono Wright.

:laugh: Fair point.
Never understood the fascination of picking a back on the bench, especially in 2015. It's one of the few problems I have with the current Broncos side. I know Havilli isn't much to write home about and Roache is a jack of all trades, master of none but that reshuffle cost them dearly.
It's a shame because there were a lot of good performances from the Warriors tonight but they were let down by some weak links in the side.
Roosters had their moments but the storyline here is that the Warriors managed to lose a game they should have won. Happened against us, happened against the Cowboys and nearly happened against the Sharks.
RTS and Luke cannot arrive soon enough.

That groan from the crowd when the reverse angle showed Ferguson kept his foot in..
They were cheering on the side on because it looked like his foot was out.. Then the reverse angle confirmed it was well in, it shut them up pretty quickly lol.

Debatable, he's undoubtedly been awesome on the wing for us, but I think most people (including Wayne) would label him a second rower.

I agree, but unfortunately we have an abundance of second rowers at the moment, it's pretty hard to find him game time when we have Glenn, Gillett, Thaiday, Parker all demanding big minutes.

On the GH, they still call that out.

Actually, it isn't that hard at all.
Give both Glenn and Gillett 60 minutes instead of 80 each and it will go a long way.
Considering the Broncos have been playing without Thaiday, Parker and McGuire these past few weeks, it shouldn't be too difficult to find a spot for Oates.

Shuddup! I need Gillett on the paddock for the full 80.

Looks like we've got ourselves a triple threat!
Team Glenn vs Team Gillett vs Team Oates.
Starting to think that Gillett's improvement in defence is shaping him into a quality lock more than a right fringe specialist. If Wayne is to get the best out of Gillett, he needs to be more creative with him and use him in a similar capacity as the Roosters used SBW who didn't have any issues popping up on either side of the field.
Right now, Wayne is just building a solid base which I'm fine with but there are certainly areas the club can and probably will improve. Oates getting more game-time is one and Gillett being given a liscence to roam is another. He's one of the best weapons we've had at the club for years now yet he's never been used as well as he should.

In a couple of years once Thaiday & Parker retire (And Blair comes off contract :lol:), sounds gewd.
