PRE-GAME Round 15 - Storm vs Broncos

[Marty Deutschmann]

Good story on Parcell tomorrow.

Where is the story?

Where is the story?

Yeah I have been waiting for it.

 

[Alec]

Just wondering if I am the only one who is thinking Molo is starting to look good apart from the errors?

I think he is start to get used to the intensity and is making some great carries of late.

His runs have looked impressive, but are kind of poor on the stat sheet (7-8m a run for an impact bench prop). It's really strange.

 

[Unbreakable]

I haven't been a fan of our bench in general so far this season, very poor impact overall. I can see why Wayne signed Gavet, he could obviously tell we needed a bit more oomph.

 

[Big Pete]

I really thought Molo would kick on and be one of our better props by now. Unfortunately his form regressed last year and if it wasn't for Bennett showing him some faith and picking him regardless, nobody would say a peep. His name may as well have been Aaron Rockley or Ajuma Adams.

But I think he is showing some signs. He probably doesn't have enough leg drive at the moment but he hits the line pretty hard and positions his body in such a way that he's usually getting good play the balls in pretty tough areas of the field. This isn't like Alex Glenn pinching metres down a fringe running at a half who can barely tackle, this is running it straight up the guts.

However he's got to build on it if he wants to be anything more than a contender for 'Remember this Bronco?' thread.

I would love to see us absolutely annihilate Melbourne on their home turf. They have given us a few floggings in the past and would love to dish it back out to them. We are getting them at an ideal time with Cronk out.

speaking of, anyone remember that hack Dave Hala aka the next big thing

 

[Super Freak]

I can't really take a win that seriously with Cronk out.

But it would be nice to get a win and keep top spot.

We need to make a list of 'Griffin Guys' because he was certainly one of them.

In fairness, he was really beginning to look like something in 2011, from all reports had a huge pre-season in 2012 but then suffered set-back after set-back and just never came to.

To his credit, he apparently turned down a lot of offers to leave the club and signed with us for a pittance which I appreciated but Bennett shot pretty straight with him. Thanks but no thanks and Big Dave's been struggling to make it out onto the field most weeks.

Does Manly's 2008 Premiership not count because Smith was missing? Of course not. You can only beat who is put in front of you.

It absolutely counts in terms of two points. But it's not the same test. I mean, you wouldn't panic if we lost without our Origin stars would you? Same applies in reverse.

Of course, but I'm still going to celebrate beating those purple pricks the same way I would if Cronk was playing.

I don't panic if we lose when we are missing our Origin stars, by which I mean 4-6 important players

I find it much more concerning losing when missing 1, which is what's being discussed here

So I will party like it's 1999 if we beat Melbourne, with or without Cronk

But in fairness to you, I admit to hating them so much I probably would party anyway even if they were missing 1-17 :takdir:

 

[Big Pete]

What if the Broncos drop Ben Hunt? Will the win actually count then?

Of course. Ashley Taylor is our saviour, all his wins count :okey:

 

[Big Pete]

I'd hate to see Jayden's face when he reads that post of yours Ari.

Disgraceful.
