[The True King]

Tupouniua is doing an impressive job to keep his spot this week ahead of Crichton, Aubusson and the media's love child and new marketing posterboy, SBW.

 

[BroncsFan]

Tupouniua is doing an impressive job to keep his spot this week ahead of Crichton, Aubusson and the media's love child and new marketing posterboy, SBW.

Crichton coming back from injury, which is why he'd be named in the reserves... but if he comes back in I think it will be at the expense of Butcher, with Tupouniua dropping to the bench and playing middle/prop... or Robinson will ease Crichton back into the squad whilst rewarding Tupouniua with the starting spot.

In the squad that's been named it appears Butcher is playing middle... he would basically come on for Liu who would then play prop.

I think Tupouniua was playing middle throughout the year.

Roosters will also just rotate their squad so Butcher, Tupouniua, etc. are getting minutes.

$BW will be 17 jersey all year I'd say... I've heard some say that he is coming in to play the Radley role off the bench, which makes some sense.

 

[Unbreakable]

Todd Payten to be named in the #21 jersey this week?

 

[PNG Broncos fan88]

Poor Warriors.
Maybe give em Robati, Vudogo, Arthars, (or whoevers not injured or not taken seriously). Let them go play for a winning team and hope they bring back that competitive edge back to our rabble.

 

[Big Pete]

Vudogo actually went back to Fiji during Covid.

He's playing Rugby in their local competition.

Otherwise, I would have been keen to see him get a game for the Broncos. Whether it'd be a good selection or not is another question altogether, but it would have been entertaining.

 

[winslow_wong]

Stingy roosters. Give the warriors sbw ffs

 

[The True King]

Knights have no idea how to use Ponga.

 

[Big Pete]

Too easy there for Ponga.

Barely 15 minutes into the contest and he beats 4 tackles through the middle.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Shocking tackle. But, not a Bronco so take the early plea and play next week.

 

[ZTop]

Knights have no idea how to use Ponga.

Seem to be learning now

 

[rnabokov]

How can you not win a game with Ponga playing like that. If only ...

 

[mrslong]

Sharks defence has been something the Broncos would be proud of

 

[broncos4life]

Bahaha **** Ponga got axed!

 

[BroncsFan]

Has to be send off

Imagine if that was TPJ...

 

[Kimlo]

Has to be send off

Imagine if that was TPJ...

He'd get 8+ weeks

 

[broncos4life]

Has to be send off

Imagine if that was TPJ...

He would never play again.

 

[Kimlo]

Great call from the ref.
