PRE-GAME Round 17 - Titans vs Broncos

[Alec]

How many Origin players do we have? McGuire, Roberts and possibly Ofa? They might be missing Taylor, Wallace and Arrow.

If they lose all three of them, I would be confident of a win.

But I can't see Taylor being picked because I can't see Hunt being dropped. We will lose Roberts and McGuire. I think Ofahengaue will be given a chance next year.

We will lose McCullough as well and we all know how well we play without him...

 

[Sproj]

Is Turps ready to fill in as hooker?

 

[Pub Steak]

I’m hoping Kevvie picks Taylor for 7 and hunt for utility. I don’t see that much value in Milf as utility. He’s an 80min player and needs time to find his groove.

 

[Thelmus]

I think we will win. But if They have Taylor on board, we might struggle to put them away.
If we start the way we finished it will be no worries. If we finish the way we did last time against them, we are doomed to mediocrity.
Consistency has been our biggest problem all season. It comes from having young, unsettled halves that can't put on a game with both of them firing, young forwards (just the nature of a young forward), and a back line lacking organisation.
What really worries me is the lack of leadership from our older players at times, particularly our forwards.
Maguire needed to step up in that first half, as did sims (granted it's his first game back). I didn't see the raiders game as I now have my father to look after, but from the radio, we seemed directionless in the first half.
If anything these young forwards coming into the game are lifting the older forwards rather than the other way around. That needs to rectified soon.
The talent we now have there, our forwards should able to dominste, not just match lesser packs.

Where's nikorima?

 

[Mitchell_Broncos]

isn't the game on Sunday and origin is on Wednesday wouldn't they back up

 

[Sproj]

Where's nikorima?

Replaced by two Dargans. Haha

 

[LockyersLeftBoot]

isn't the game on Sunday and origin is on Wednesday wouldn't they back up

They’ll still be in camp. Origin isn’t until Wednesday 11th.

 

[Mitchell_Broncos]

This is what the team I believe will look like
1. Boyd
2. Oates
3. Roberts
4. Kahu
5. Isaako
6. Dargan
7. Niko
8. Lodge
9. Turpin
10. Thaiday
11. Pangai
12. Su'a
13. Joffa
14. Glenn
15. Sims
16. Mago
17. Opacic

 

[Mitchell_Broncos]

what other Five eight would they go with Murphy at 7 and niko at 6?

 

[Number6]

1. Boyd
2. Oates
3. Staggs (but WB won’t)
4. Kahu
5. Isaako
6. KNik
7. Dargan
8. Lodge
9. Turpin (assuming not still injured)
10. Thaiday
11. TPJ
12. Glenn
13. Taga

14. Murphy
15. Fifita
16. Sims
17. Mago

But Opaic will be there and Sims might start FFS. If Milf not in origin then time to give Dargan a game and KNik to hooker but won’t happen. Since KNik is our halfback no matter then no point in moving him.

Assuming Roberts, Milf, Moose, Sua, Macca on origin duties.

Hopefully Taylor, Arrow +\- James out for Titans which should be enough to get us over the line. If Milf on origin and Taylor out then likely get towelled.

[Mitchell_Broncos]

Fk didn’t think of that, Opacic then bring Staggs back to the bench

 

[Mister Wright]

1. Boyd
2. Oates
3. Opacic
4. Kahu
5. Isaako
6. Milford
7. Dargan
8. Lodge
9. Nikorima
10. Thaiday
11. Glenn
12. Su’a
13. TPJ

14. Staggs
15. Ofahengaue
16. Mago
17. Fafita

If Oates out, Pearson in.
If Milford out, Dargan to 6, Nikorima to 7 someone else to 9.
