PRE-GAME Round 15 - Sharks vs Broncos

[Accept]

Dargan is close to selection. WB is thinking it's time but Dargan needs a big two weeks to convince WB to tell Nikorima that he, Nikorima is injured. Please let this be true. Milford needs to mature overnight and really run the team . It might help if he decides to tell the rest just what their jobs are and what he's planning and to have a fucking plan to explain to them.

Where did you hear this?

Where did you hear this?

I didn't, I made it up and then started willing it to happen. I thought if I wished hard enough it would come true. This is a case of Huge making up huge shit because his disappointment is huge. If it happens, it will be....disregard it completely. Naturally, if it happened I'd pretend I know someone really close to WB and you'd all suddenly respect me and hang off my every word and gosh, it'd be absolutely spiffing what !

I think we went better without our so called experienced veterans (Glenn and McGuire). Sick of Macca passing to McGuire on the 4th for a nothing weak hit up. It's time to let the young guys take over.

Badel's next article
"sources close to Brisbane hierarchy have indicated to me a loss of faith in embattled half Nikorima and he will succumb to an undisclosed injury.... I'm also hearing in form Qcup halfback Tony Dragan is close to getting the 7 jersey and the keys to the Brisbane castle..... Also Bellamy and Cam Smith to sign with the Sydney Roosters.... Badel out"

I don't wish injury on the young feller but a stint in ISC would suffice. A permanent one.

Give the kids a run - they need to play first grade enough to be ready to go when needed and to keep the old guard on their toes, who are not performing to their usual standard. McGuire back to prop. He doesn't do a single thing different at lock than he ever did at prop. I'm done with Boyd. Glenn needs to do more as a starter if he wants to get back there. Thaiday can stick around so long as there's no mistakes, no laziness in defence and makes decent metres.

The team needs to learn how to play together and win a game comfortably. I can't remember the last game we played where I wasn't thinking we'd find a way to lose

 

[Foordy]

The only thing I care about is seeing this come game day: 11. TPJ, 12. Su'a, 13. McGuire. TPJ is way too good to be on the bench whilst Glenn is invisible and provides zero impact.

but then we lose our biggest impact of the bench and just hand momentum to the sharks once our starters take a breather

That's a worry in itself. We can't give the kids a starting spot because the veterans will let us down off the bench.

it is not that they will let us down ... it is all about balance.

Take Glenn for example... he has been one of our best this year, but he is a workhorse style player, while TPJ is your bigger body impact style player ...

FTR, TPJ had a very similar performance off the bench to what he does starting...

people are desperate for everyone to start at the expense of having a good bench... the bench is criminally under-rated by many.

Rugby league is played by 17 men ... not 13 men

Carrigan was great yesterday made 41 tackles missed three but in 80 minutes that's pretty good. He just plugs away and makes an impact.

Damn you!, i got excited there haha

 

[Allo]

Flegler is injured.

Because I didn’t name anyone else in the 17 of course.

 

[Kyall]

Surely Bird will have to be back for this game.

 

[Foordy]

Surely Bird will have to be back for this game.

I actually hope he is ... could be the game to turn his form around.

bring him back at either left center or the bench ... would be harsh on either Opacic or Staggs though as neither have done anything wrong to be dropped.

14. Patrick Mago
15. Joe Ofahengaue
16. Tevita Pangai Junior
17. Kotoni Staggs

This is likely going to be the side.

I would like to see TPJ move to the left second row and Glenn off the bench. Dargan in for Niko and Niko added to the bench as an impact player in place of Kotoni Staggs.

What has staggs done wrong , if anything Niko to be dropped

Niko provides better impact off the bench.
