PRE-GAME Round 16 - Broncos vs Raiders

[mitch222]

We're getting pretty close to full strength again here (Not including Jack Bird, obviously.), once Gillo returns I think we have to keep TPJ & Su'A starting, which would mean shifting Moose back to prop.

1. Boyd (c)
2. Oates
3. Roberts
4. Kahu
5. Isaako
6. Milford
7. Nikorima
8. Lodge
9. McCullough
10. McGuire
11. Su'A
12. Gillett
13. Pangai Jr

14. Ofahengaue
15. Sims
16. Thaiday
17. Glenn

TPJ will just go back to prop. Moose isn't going back to the front row regardless of how many people want it to happen. He will be our lock at the club for however long he is still with us.

‪Tevita Pangai Junior a late out after rib cartilage injury was aggravated at captains run. Have seen in the past it only takes a blow to the wrong spot to cause severe pain with rib cartilage injuries. Will be a week to week prospect, dependant on pain levels ‬

WAYNE Bennett will make a change to his final 17 for tomorrow night's clash with the Raiders in Brisbane.

Korbin Sims got through training this morning and is in line to make a return from a broken jaw at Suncorp Stadium.

Sims has not played for six weeks since suffering the injury in a collision with Rooster Dylan Napa.

He was named at 18th man when the team was announced on Tuesday, but will now be substituted into the team.

All seven Broncos players who played in the representative round last weekend – Origin players James Roberts, Andrew McCullough and Josh McGuire, Kiwis Kodi Nikorima and Jamayne Isaako, and Anthony Milford (Samoa) and Joe Ofahengaue (Tonga) are fit to play in the game that kicks off at 7.30pm.

LIKELY BRONCOS' NRL TEAM

1. Darius Boyd [emoji767]
2. Corey Oates
3. James Roberts
4. Jordan Kahu
5. Jamayne Isaako
6. Anthony Milford
7. Kodi Nikorima
8. Matt Lodge
9. Andrew McCullough
10. Sam Thaiday
11. Tevita Pangai
12. Jaydn Su'A
13. Josh McGuire

Interchange:

15. Joe Ofahengaue
16. Tom Opacic
17. Alex Glenn
18. Korbin Sims

Coach: Wayne Bennett

Don’t see the point in Opaic- would rather Staggs this week given NZ blokes might not pull up well with delayed flight, flat SOO players and Kahu is always a hair breadth away from catastrophe at centre. Although don’t like sabotaging young blokes development for 10 minutes of game time every week - this week could really use his energy and get him 40 in late in first and till middle of second half as a support type lock if not required in backs. Tell the kid to tackle everything that moves and follow the ball in attack - doubt he’ll let anyone down.

Biggest issue however is lack of spine cover and especially impact hooker with Kodi and Macca backing up will likely be even more slow and ineffective than usual if required for 80. But not having a half or a hooker who can attack (or defend in Kniks case) hasn’t bothered Wayne yet so why bother talking about a backup...

I get the feeling a couple of basic defensive errors against the Storm havent gone in Kotoni's favour. I'd have him as utility personally as he covers a fair few positions and is a good backup kicker.

Yassssss. Can’t wait to see how he goes.
