PRE-GAME [Round 15, 2022] Broncos vs Storm

[NSW stables]

No he is not exactly like Macca or worse.

My concern with turpin is that his service from dummy half will ruin our attack. Since billy and paix have been at 9, passes have been out in front and not telegraphed, enabling our forwards to run onto the ball and not get picked off by the markers.

Turpin only looks where he is passing it and the catchers have to stop and reach up/down/behind them which just halts all momentum.

Was Harrison Graham still around?

 

[Accept]

We don't know if he has "the flu." We only know if he has "the flu" that's currently overloading hospitals it would put him out of Friday's game. That's all there is to say about it. No need to be obnoxious.

Enough of this flu talk already. I am getting the better of COVID atm and would rather read about something more positive (no pun intended). Can't we talk about marshmallows, dandelions and the Kardashians for the next little while?

I’m a fan of his, I admit. I also realise he is a cheap option but someone I thought it was worth keeping around due to effort alone, plus we’ve only really ever seen him playing in a team full of numpties for 80. Macca made a career out of wrapping up attackers legs while 2 other blokes already had him 3/4 of the way tackled, Turpin will cut the oppositions biggest bloke in half by himself. I’m not devastated we are losing him, he is what he is, but I still think the bloke can make a career in the nrl, not necessarily as an 80minute player though.

I thought about that this morning, can we call up Graham?

Interesting that it’s been a couple weeks since he was granted his release and we haven’t even heard a whisper. Nothing about next year either.

Seems to be in pretty low demand. Must have thought he had the world at his feet when he captained the Brisbane broncos in his early 20s. Cant help but feel for sorry for him given how hard he tries.

him and RK would be the last of the seibold hires right?

Turps debuted under Wayne

 

[Battler]

We shouldn't write this game off and rest players that are fit enough to play. Beating the storm, who have looked quite average recently, would be massive and mark the team down as geniune contenders. I feel like we have a massive advantage in the forwards and will monster their pack if the boys turn up ready to win.

On Arey and dogs like Cowfusi putting on late shots, just have Kev do an Ivan Cleary and pre-emptively call out our halves getting hit late to plant the seed in the ref's mind (probably won't work for us, but w/e).

 

[Sproj]

That is the problem though, I am worried what NAS and Kaufusi will do to our injured blokes after what the Dogs got away with on Saturday.

I’m cheering for him, no matter where he goes. Macca I hope is still sucking up 4-500k on some stupid club’s cap.

I don’t have a bad word to say about either of them if they aren’t at the broncos

 

[Scorchie]

Fun fact - most who think they have the flu actually don’t and it’s usually a seasonal rhinovirus aka the common cold

two years without contact tho, flu is bad news this year

 

[Big Del]

It's a dumb conversation. Everyone here is trying to tell you the flu that's going around knocks you on your arse. We don't know if he has it. I don't need to read some confirmation bias you dug up.

Didn`t all players have to have a flu vax last season or the one before ?

 

[Foordy]

we equal the Panthers for longest winning streak of the season (8) once we take down the Storm

 

[McHunt]

Early mail is Reynolds is still in a lot of pain (no surprises there) and only a longshot to play. No further mention from anyone about Mam's manflu. Flegler said it was news to him:

Flegler: It Tests Out The Depth Of Our Squad

Thomas Flegler speaks to media about the next-man-up mentality after a brutal clash against the Raiders that saw a few Broncos left on the injured list.

This is why we don't make bets based on one journalist's hearsay, folks.

Is this to keep Bellamy guessing on which body lock to use for this game?
