PRE-GAME Round 15 - Broncos vs Dragons

[vertigo]

It doesn't matter much when you get put on your back and play the ball slow.

Also he has been part of the team all year and we have the worst total run metres in the league.

I would take less runs/minutes/metres if he wrestled, moved up in defence, hit hard and in attack landed on his stomach and played the ball quickly.

Alright who have we got that can make 200m this week in his place.

I’m happy Haas is suspended. He’s on a hiding to nothing and needs a break.

St George minus 14.5 at $3.50.
That right there is a gift.
It's the only way I can watch a game and not get angry

6.5

6.5

At least the broncos have made a few of us some nice coin this season.

 

[GCBRONCO]

We cant sink any lower now. We're winning this one.

Found the problem fellow forum members Wolfie was set to repeat match prediction, hopefully we won't just get another repeat this time.

In more distressing news, there's a chance Seibold could get away with entering the dressing shed at halftime, given his 14 day ban expires on Friday.

Scratch that: I wasn’t thinking clearly. Pies-olation shouldn’t have started until he returned to Brisbane. And we don’t know when that was. He could be gone for three weeks. My tip is he won’t be back.

Has there ever been an ENTIRE fan base that has agreed this ever?

I think he was back 2 days after the rest of the team.

So Haas makes the 2nd most metres out of every front rower in the comp, but the Broncos having the worst total run metres is somehow an indictment on his performances?

Fucking hell mate. What are we meant to make of this argument?

LIVE SCORE UPDATE; Currently Bulldogs are leading the Tigers....

Which puts Brisbane on the bottom of the live ladder...

I could certainly see any combination of TPJ, Lodge, Fifita or Haas letting their frustration out at each other over a poor error or missed tackle. Glenn isn't very confrontational, but if Haas did that to TPJ or Lodge, something could of happened.

Aw c’mon - he got confrontational with the fanbase on Social Media. That counts as real ‘leadership’ doesn’t it?

Because a metre more than the next guy doesn't matter if you get put on your back or have a slow play the ball. The setup for the next player is poor and reduces there metres and puts the teams set back. It is selfish pushing for an extra metre when you should be hitting your stomach and playing it fast.

People are just too dumb to understand the position and what is actually important. They look at base statistics and listen to stupid commentators.

There is a reason teams are continuously attacking our middle all game long.

Alex Glenn... check his insta...

It's a committee position and he doesn't make 200metres a game.

Our front rowers should have a consistent rotation, catch it at the advantage line, hit the ground and play it fast. In defence move up, hit hard and work hard.

We don't need any front rower playing 80 mins as it isn't efficient when you have 4 bench positions.

A cursory glance at play the ball speeds shows Haas is actually pretty good in that department.

It's funny that you complain about people using statistics to judge a player's merits and then incorrectly use a different set to support your own argument.

Teams attack us up the middle because our line speed is garbage and we often have lazy/tired markers. None of that is relevant to Haas' abilities in attack though.
