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

[Sproj]

Arthars trained today, and Hetherington said in the press conference he will be a good in for this week.

Yep Piakura mentioned it too, says he's been training the house down.

It looked like we didn't play anyone competing for the 17 this week in last week's Qcup.

I'm assuming it's to avoid picking up any injuries, but would've thought Sailor could use a run in Qcup to get some form back (even though Souths are terrible) or potentially Arthars to get some game time and reps into him after being out injured for so long.

Black, Rogers, Semu, Baker, Karapani, Mozer, Taupau and Paix was it on the weekend.

When the Origin guys are away, you need players to train. Kev likes opposition.

Maybe cobbo just doesn’t enjoy origin

 

[Super Freak]

It looks like we will wear our home jersey for this game.

Warriors will be wearing this jersey and our away and heritage will clash with it.

 

[Midean]

We win this game no doubt about it.
Cant wait.

 

[Super Freak]

Johnson out.

Turns out his issue was with his Achilles. He's out for a month.

Dang .
They were playing real well with TMM @ #7 . I thought having SJ back might be causing teething problems . Now back to a winning combo .

I wonder if they go back to CNK at 6 and then Roger to fullback or that young Taupiki.

 

[Bish]

As usual, I don’t think winning or losing this game will depend on the opposition, but us.

We’re capable of beating most teams in this comp, unfortunately, current form proves we’re also equally capable of losing to most if we’re not on it.

Time for an improved performance.
Time for a mentality switch.
Time for 2 points and time for us to re-announce ourselves.

 

[McHunt]

Karapani on the bench. I don't hate it.

No Origin stars backing up.

It's going to be a long ass game...

 

[mitch222]

Karapani on the bench. I don't hate it.

You do realise our 2 best forwards with the biggest motors aren't playing right. Out of that entire forward pack, I dont really trust any of them to produce a full 80 minutes.

 

[Renegade]

Can't wait for Fletcher to be steamrolled by the kid running out the kicking tees.

Hetherington needs to have a good game. Need him to be cutting blokes in half. He's had a poor year and we really need him to stand up.

 

[Johnny92]

Atleast one of our origin guys will play I reckon.
If Payne or Patty play run them off the bench.
Walsh could play 40 minutes with Karapani on the bench.
