PRE-GAME [Round 17, 2024] Broncos vs Warriors

[McHunt]

Surely walsh plays after that belting Qld had.

I would like to see Walsh play. He needs as much game time as possible before the finals to work on his errors. And Tristan hasn't exactly put his name in lights during his absence. Albeit returning prematurely from injury.

Patty and Payne could do with a break, but if they're champing at the bit, I wouldn't say no.

 

[Aldo]

I'm sure - or at last hope - Kevvie has seen enough of Patson during his train & trial to have a good reason for not picking him up for a bargain when our cupboard is bare of someone with his exact skillset. But the small amount I've seen of him, he looked class for depth. Well, compared to Gosiewski who I honestly can barely picture doing anything notable for us or the Cowboys. That he's gone direct to bench is pretty troubling.

This is one of those situations where you have to have faith in the coach, and if it doesn't pan out, you can blame said coach.

Anything less than an emphatic win on Saturday is not good enough.

Why does it have to be emphatic?

 

[Manofoneway]

Why does it have to be emphatic?

I would be happy with a one point victory with us limping over the line at this point.

We aren't doing the basics right at the moment. Nobody should be expecting a polished performance with our origin stars either backing up or not playing at all. Specifically without our halfback who got us through this period last year.

I wouldnt bother playing Patty & Haas. Not with the fact that we have to travel to NZ as well (thanks NRL for that dumb fucking scheduling)
Walsh can play but. He has had almost a month off

 

[BooKhaki]

I'm for resting Haas and Carrigan, they have smashed themselves up. Walsh needs to be backing up as he needs time on the field. It's such poor scheduling to have us travelling to NZ on Origin week.

Its poor to have any side travel to NZ on origin week.

Only an hour more than Melb to Brisbane .
An hour on an aeroplane is gonna have massive negative effect ?

And what about the time difference?

 

[Aldo]

Haas hasn't had that much footy this year and got a pretty soft game last night. He can play IMO.

Time to set the tone.

 

[McHunt]

Speaking of Haas, it's about time he unleashed the mongrel.

 

[Aldo]

Speaking of Haas, it's about time he unleashed the mongrel.

He doesn't really have any.

**** that weak shit. Why do you keep apologizing for mediocrity?

We're the Broncos. Start playing like a premiership contender, and that includes with depth.

 

[winslow_wong]

Speaking of Haas, it's about time he unleashed the mongrel.

He was all hugs and dapping up with Martin and leniu last night. Their mongrel and grubbery rubbed off on him. At the broncos he’s just another nice guy with the rest of them.

No apologies, just a realist. We are not the Broncos at the moment.

 

[mitch222]

Haas isnt an aggressive prop and never will be. He is a work horse and damn good one at that. Aggressive doesn't always mean they make 200 metres a game. Most aggressive props play 30-40 minutes a week at max. Could you imagine the outcry if Payne only played that a week.

 

[McHunt]

No apologies, just a realist. We are not the Broncos at the moment.

We are literally the Broncos.

 

[Battler]

Play them all. Maybe give Carrigan reduced mins because Slater played him for 70 minutes last night
