sorry if this has been aired already but is the game going live at 9:00pm on 9 or delayed half an hour?? could they squeeze it in live, maybe miss the first 5 in??

Nah, it'll be delayed by 10-15 mins I'd say.

Souths made it there this morning. So seems like it shouldn't be too much trouble unless the ash cloud hits Brisbane or Perth.

 

[Coxy]

Yeh Broncos are there. Flew out this morning.

Wouldn't surprise me if they put additional ads in and in finishes much more than 15 minutes behind.
Pretty sure they do that for the double header.

 

[Kimlo]

But if it's only 15 minutes behind they couldn't put too many ads, maybe a full length halftime and that's about it.

They can do whatever they like when the game isn't advertised as being 'live'. They might start 15min behind but by the end of it they'll probably be around 30min behind.

Just heard on another forum that Yow Yeh is out with Tonsolitus. Apparently Copely is in. Gagai is now 18th man.

The Broncos flew to Perth yesterday without Jharal Yow Yeh, who withdrew at the last minute with severe tonsilitis.

He has been replaced on the wing by Dale Copley, and Dane Gagai was brought into the travelling party as 18th man.

game will be on at 9:30pm with nines usual quota of ads, same way every other secondary friday night game is shown.

i will just have to turn off laptop and phone at 9pm.

 

[noisetheory]

has copley played every game this year, despite not being in our current 'full strength' starting side?

a spots always been created for him - first hodges, then hoffa, then hodges again, and now yow yeh no good.

Copley has played 11 games out of 14 this year.

Missed round 1 vs Cowboys, round 3 vs Titans and round 5 vs Newcastle.

 

[Browny]

He seems to be getting each game too

 

[Coxy]

I assume you meant getting better? Indeed. He's certainly a safe option on the wing. Not so confident when he's in the centres.

 

[jarro65]

Copley has been great for us lately.

Yow Yeh will greatly benefit from the break too i reckon, he's looked a little out of sorts the last few games.

He needs a rest.

 

[Big Pete]

The Sharks game was of concern but apart from that he's improved every game he's on the wing. I like that in a young player.

 

[noisetheory]

agree. you can see it from the first kick returns of the game. taking it confidently and hitting it up hard.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Copley is up to the task no big drama with yow yeh being out IMO. Should be a cracker of a match shame it won't be live

 

[m1c]

I think this can only be a good thing for Yow Yeh. For a player of his age and (in)experience he's played a lot of football in 2011. IMO it was inevitable that he would begin to taper off towards the end of the year - something I think we were already beginning to see.

With him sitting out this game it means by the time he's next back in Broncos colours he'll have played 1 game (origin) in an entire month.

Hopefully this will see him back to the form he was showing pre origin.
