[Culhwch]

Just win again ffs.

 

[vertigo]

This might be the first time we win two consecutive matches since March 2020.

 

[winslow_wong]

Back to back wins??? Is it possible?

 

[Super Freak]

I don't see a win.

Not because it's a few days after Origin, but because it's after a bye. Bye rounds after a win tend to work against us.

Boys will be sky high, will think they’re invincible and prob get 30 put on them by the tigers.
Please prove me wrong boys.

 

[The Strapper]

We win this and I’d say the spoon is off the table for us.

For sure, there is no way the Dogs are winning 3 games.

 

[Dash]

I'm expecting a win, but also wouldn't be surprised if we play like last year's Tigers game.

 

[Volvo Driver]

Contain Laurie and we should be ok I think.

Watch Roberts come out and have a blinder though.

Contain Laurie and we should be ok I think.

Watch Roberts come out and have a bender though.

Fixed for you

 

[WASSHHH]

Broncos 15th plays Tigers 14th at Suncorp. Broncs would need to will win by 47+ points to leapfrog the Tigers into 14th place.

Both teams coming off a bye, four days after Origin. Broncos could have up to 3 players backing up from Origin (Haas, Coates, Flegler). Tigers, at most, 1 (Utoikamanu).

We can will win this one, and might even will rightfully be favourites.

*Credit to McHunt for the preview*

This might will be the first time we win two consecutive matches since March 2020.

Fixed them both for you.

If Tigers continue to play Douehi in centres...we should have this...Staggs will destroy him in defence...

But lets see, could be inuries & suspensions from Origin etc that may affect team plans..?

Unlikely that Origin will be a factor. We've only got Coates and they've got literally no one.

Payne disagrees.

 

[BroncsFan]

This game is definitely winnable looking at the form of the tigers.

They turned in a training run against Souths and got absolutely torched.

Hoping Madge doesnt get sacked over the bye week, because they dont look like they're playing for him at the moment.

Would like to see Albert come in for Croft if he's fit otherwise not too many changes required.

Paix in for Arthars and Flegs to return via the bench, probably for Riki with Palasia to cover Robati when he needs a break.

1 Niu
2 Oates
3 Herbie
4 Staggs
5 Isaako
6 Kelly
7 Gamble
8 Kennedy
9 Turps
10 Haas
11 Glenn
12 Robati
13 Kobe

14 Paix
15 Flegler
16 Palasia
17 Bullemor

I showed this clip a few weeks ago. I wanted to show some promising signs of Tesi playing from fullback.

Noted it was against the Raiders and we put in a sub-par performance BI (Before Ikin).

But he showed nice shape and footwork to get himself on the outside of the 5/8th.

A offload just before the defence sees Farnworth score a try here.

Well, here it is again, this time against a front rower. On the right hand side again.

Note Staggs was on the bench here, otherwise you have Niu AND Staggs on the right side.

Taking on the line with great footwork against a obvious target (Rudolph) will give the kid a lot of confidence. Mind you, Toby tops the league in missed tackles...

This is how a player can affect the game themselves.

One thing Isaako didnt do nearly enough was hang around the ruck on yardage sets as a option for offloads or support. Niu though is making it a big part of his game.

Robati makes the half break and great offload but note Tesi hanging once again behind Turps and then continues to offer himself in support.

He absolutely needs to stay in the 1 rest of season. He still has holes in his game which will be targeted but regardless he "could" answer one of our spine questions next season.

His development is no our number 1 priority this season.

There's no doubt he's a decent player but we definitely shouldn't think he's any better in attack than Isaako. Sure, he might be better at organising the defence out the back and it great to see him following looking for opportunities. Isaako could have done more of that no doubt.

Our leading player for Try Assists is Isaako with 6 and he's equal second for tries so he has had his moments too. Tesi has 2 TAs. The bloke we need back on the park is Kelly, believe it or not! 4 try assists in only 3 games. Not bad at all. 7 tackle busts too! That's better than 2 tackle busts a game. Consider he played his 3 games against decent opposition and you can see we could do with him back
