PRE-GAME [Round 15, 2024] Broncos vs Rabbitohs

[Santa]

We are still 2nd favourites to win the Premiership.

As we should be.

 

[Broncapz]

Can we please play exciting footy?
Maybe some cheeky second phase play?

We've gotta be the most boring exciting team ever.
I'll take the extra mistakes over 80 minutes of 1 up hitups that make 40metres.

 

[Bish]

Dropping the ball when playing fast, energetic, seats of your pants high risk footy is one thing. This hasn’t been the case though. It’s been simple basic hits and another error.

One thing more than anything is to see an improvement in this, stop handing it over and putting pressure on ourselves.

 

[FACTHUNT]

Oates out and Karapani to the wing

When is Jesse back?

Ok….. one change made. Now lets get Gosk start on left edge & put Piaks on the bench.
Mix things up Kev & come back home with a W.

 

[FACTHUNT]

When is Jesse back?

Vs Wahs rin Auckland round 17.

Would be back next week but we have the bye.

 

[Super Freak]

Karapani has apparently been defending at centre but attacking on the wing.

If that's the case, what the ****?

How about we stop the other team’s second phase play and keep them to less than 12 points.

 

[Fatboy]

Oates injured (according to 9 News)?

So I was right. Glad I'm not hearing voices in my head...

How about we start folding players in half! I want some aggression in our tackles!

I think first and foremost is we need to get our defence sorted, we need to get some urgency and commitment in our line, fix our first contact and start bullying the opposition instead of being on the receiving end.

We need to stop conceding 60m sets to our opposition so that we are not stuck down our own end getting smashed doing one out hit ups coming out of trouble set after set.

We'll score points if we get our defense going.

Our defence on our line isn't too bad. It's the soft defence on the rest of the field that sux. I'm hoping the origin boys are all fresh and rested, and the others have learnt their lesson.

Karapani has apparently been defending at centre but attacking on the wing.

If that's the case, what the ****?

They want Selwyn to catch the ball on the 5th when defending.
And run over some opposition when in attack on the 3rd / 4th , then pass to Karapani ?

 

[FACTHUNT]

And great, Souths are trying to shaft Damien Cook to the Dragons so we can expect him to play his best game of the year FFS

He's usually someone that runs amok against us anyway... for 90% of his NRL games he just passes and barely gets out of dummy half, but against broncos he's running or getting out every set it seems.

 

[Swordfish]

Reckon we contained him well in not letting him run and in his face throughout the game earlier in the season. Shouldn’t be any different on Friday.

We should be well prepared for their bombs &/ high kicks given Wighton’s playing & Trell is rejuvenated and intending to force his way into Origin.

 

[Foordy]

The Courier Mail is reporting that Cobbo will shift to the wing with Karapani playing centre
