Round 15 - Broncos vs Dragons - Build Up Thread

[levikade]

just win ffs

We can do this :)
Have a little faith in Griffin and his selections, he knows what he's doing.

I agree. Griffin seems to be one of the coaches who learns from experience judging by our form to date. The game against the Raiders would have given him a lot to work on.

I reckon we will be competitive no matter what the selections are. Also, I truly believe it would be folly for Lockyer, Thaiday and Hodges (unless absolutely 100%) to play after a 2 day turn around. As well, NSW's back rower pseudo props will run at Lockyer all night. He must be rested.

And the more game time Norman, Hala and Baptiste get the better for us down the track this season in case of injuries, and next season of course.

All the origin boys bar Thaiday will play ;)

Heard it here first folks

Assuming they're not injured. In which case I still reckon it's stupid to play Lockyer.

I reckon the fact Griffin is thinking about playing Locky is an indication he thinks the Dragons are very beatable. He's looking for a psychological edge.

Especially since Bennett will play every Origin player who is fit.

****! that is such a shitty godamn **** team. does Griffin not see how good Reed is and how really shitty Copley is? **** this.

Lol you drama queen

No need for that buddy. Would you like for me to go and pass judgement on all the over the top comments you have made? I would be there all day.

 

[Coxy]

Beads didn't say anything about his own drama queenness.

A win would put us only 1, at the most 2 points out of the top spot and go along way to cementing our spot in the top and considering we are only i think 2/13 without Locky recently.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I just don't get the Reed on the bench move. I don't agree with it and I don't understand it.

 

[Coxy]

I just don't get the Reed on the bench move. I don't agree with it and I don't understand it.

He'll start. Either centres or back row.

 

[Alec]

I hope he does start in the centres. Just move Beale on the wing, get rid of Copley and bring Baptiste back into the side. I don't really want to see Glenn playing at hooker.

 

[PETERN]

Beale will probably go to hooker while McCullough is having a rest, and Reed will cover centre.

 

[ethos]

"Jack is a touch unlucky (to be relegated to the bench) but (centre selection) Gerard Beale has also been one of the form players of our side.

"Jack did a great job in the backrow and we will probably keep him on the bench as a ... back-up."

Quotes from Griffin..

Reed has been outstanding in the centres in both attack and defence, madness to move him at this point.

 

[m1c]

Agreed. His defence was really found wanting in the middle as well.. No slight on him, but the way you wrap a man up is totally different.

 

[subsbligh]

IMO Reed was a bit flat last week and I would not be suprised if he is rested by Griffin. Not a bad move, especially for a rookie in his first year, having played a lot of football this year.

The flip side is that he deserves to be a part of the Broncos team in our biggest test of the year.

 

[Coxy]

Wendell Sailor will be added to the Broncos hall of fame this week! Good ploy, former Dragon inducted into Broncos hall of fame [icon_lol1.

 

[Fozz]

He'll turn up in a half Dragons/half Broncos jersey.
