[Kimlo]

These wankers. Smash em Bennett. Show up Bellamy.

 

[Unbreakable]

No Broncos game for 17 days..

 

[Spike]

Now that is shit funny

 

[Morkel]

Broncos by 34.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

No Broncos game for 17 days..

Exactly what we need tbh. Injuries out our ass, form a bit shaky, and coming up against Melbourne after the week we've just had.

We'll need to be at our best defensively, and here's hoping Bellyache rests Slater after Origin.

 

[Spike]

Slater is not playing against the Cowboys, so maybe after origin he will be rested.

We're probably marginally unlucky that it is on a Sunday, if it were a Friday night game I'd say Slater would've been rested for sure, but with the extra couple of days, everyone will back up imo.

Any chance of all our injured players coming back?
1. Boyd
2. Kahu
3. Staggs
4. Roberts
5. Oates
6. Milford
7. Bird
8. Lodge
9. Macca
10. TPJ
11. Glenn
12. Gillett
13. McGuire
14. Nikorima
15. Offa
16. Su’a
17. Thaiday (only because I know Bennett will pick him anyway)!

Couple changes for me. Kahu was a liability last night at centre. He needs to go to the wing and unfortunately that means somebody misses out and that isn’t going to be Oates! Nikorima to the bench which I hate because it takes up a spare bench spot but he is good from there. And Staggs has impressed me a hell of a lot in his couple of games. Give the kid a go! He looks head a shoulders above Tommy in my opionion!

No chance Gillett comes back, Moose will be back though more than likely.
Not sure re:Glenn either, although he must be pretty close.

What has Isaako done wrong?

I think there's still a few weeks for Glenn maybe rd 15. I think it was a 4-6 week injury initially and he's missed 2 games.

Moose will be a god send for our middle rotation though. Not sure Fai is up to NRL standard but to be fair that's the first I've seen of him outside of trials.

 

[Donny]

What has Isaako done wrong?

Absolutely nothing mate but Kahu is a liability at centre and I belive that Wayne will go with Kahu over Isaako at wing if it comes to it

 

[Mitchell_Broncos]

So if storm wins tonight do we get pushed to 7th?

 

[Unbreakable]

Two weeks in a row you've asked questions about if "x" team wins do we go to "x" place on the ladder, just go to the ladder on the NRL website and do the maths. :p

 

[I bleed Maroon]

I understand the logic but that is still very harsh on Isaako

 

[john1420]

I'll lose my cool by jingo if Isaako gets dropped!

 

[Super Freak]

1. Darius Boyd
2. Corey Oates
3. James Roberts
4. Jordan Kahu
5. Jamayne Isaako
6. Anthony Milford
7. Kodi Nikorima
8. Matthew Lodge
9. Andrew McCullough
10. Sam Thaiday
11. Tevita Pangai Junior
12. Jaydn Su’A
13. Josh McGuire

14. Sam Tagataese
15. Joe Ofahengaue
16. Kotoni Staggs
17. Patrick Mago

That’s likely going to be the side if Roberts isn’t out.

Glenn would likely return the following week and Gillett a few weeks after that.
