PRE-GAME Round 16 - Bulldogs vs Broncos

[talanoa]

i am anticipating changes, the players havent been told yet who is in and who is out. side was named to satisfy the nrl mumbo jumbo rules.

 

[Danoz Direct]

Definitely want to see Fai get a run soon.

 

[Unbreakable]

Seve in for Eden, Arrow in for Thaiday, Su'A starting on the left edge.

Ideal world.

What happened to arrow. Is arrow playing bad in intrust super cup.

Been playing 'front row' which hasn't really changed his role too much the last two weeks. Was really strong against the Jets making good meters and post contact he was strong- four tackle breaks too.

Against Capras they were terrible first half and not much of a gauge really but he still did his job very well.

This is a pretty important game for us. The bulldogs are the closest of the chasing pack (assuming Parra lose their points). A win against them down there will open up some breathing space for us. So in that spirit, just win FFS.

 

[Mitch06]

If we rest any origin players let it be Thaiday please. Also how the hell did Eden get another run...Ffs, how bad is our depth?

 

[Tera]

Keen to see Opie get a run... Eden again though? An egg with a face painted on it would be a better option.

 

[Rico]

Same goes with Eden for me. Maybe it would be one rookie too many to replace him as well.

Keen to get some feedback on 2 fronts guys. What can we expect from Opacic on debut, is he the kind of player that could kill it on debut (I know there isn't may of them these days) or we just hoping for a mistake free honest performance. Reason I ask is we need some more points.

Secondly any new on Offa? Wayne speared him after the NZ howler but I'm beginning to wonder if there is something more. I hear he can be a bit of a big head but not completely sure. Or is it just a case of the other 2 small minute younger forwards doing well and keeping him out of favour?

Offa had a couple of pretty ordinary weeks before he got speared in NZ. He was non existent in the Tigers game too

He's a Chris Johns, Chris Mortimer type player- tough, will run the ball and has been solid for a good Dolphins' side this season- good defender but can take opportunities. He was good against Townsville two weeks ago and scored a good try in heavy traffic.

Plays on the right for Reddy.

I don't know about the egg - that sack of spuds is getting big wraps around these parts.

The egg is more mobile but you just know it's due an injury. The spud sack may get beaten on the outside on occasion but no one ever goes through it.

 

[Unbreakable]

Kahu was doing light training with the main group today

 

[Super Freak]

Hopefully he isn't thinking about playing this week.

Give it another week Jordy.

This is one of the many reasons why I prefer this site over the Facebook page.

You don't see this kind of thing on Facebook. All you would get is, "You're not a true fan!"

[Stix]

Well, Thaiday won't be playing

 

[vertigo]

Yep, no defending that.

More changes.. yay.
