PRE-GAME [Round 18, 2022] Broncos vs Titans

[Wolfie]

Was it Brett White who picked up an unconscious Steve Price by the front of his shirt and dropped him again?

Lasnight was up there, but not the worst.

That was Justin Poore.

 

[mrslong]

Other way around I think.

It was Steve price knocked out cold and Justin Poore picked him up and dropped him. Trent Waterhouse with the high shot.

I was at the game and enjoyed throwing my beer cup onto the people on front of me instead of the field because I was too far back and the cup was too light compared to beer cans of yesteryear

He was great, and he was ready. Regardless of age.

The narrative before Game 1 was speculating whether Selwyn was "ready" for Origin. Many thought not, but that's forgotten now. I said he should've been dropped after Game 2, and everyone got antsy with me, despite him looking woefully out of depth. He literally didn't last two minutes in Game 3. Keep reading that sentence until you get it.

Now if you think that's a bad take, you're blinded by your fan devotion to him. Which, I might add, I share. Just I didn't want to see the poor kid humiliated again.

With all due respect, it is a bad take and it appears to be another one of your agendas.

Oh no, you've uncovered my secret agenda not to select Selwyn in Game 3 because he didn't look ready in Game 2. It's all over for me.

 

[McHunt]

Sorry but you are way way way off the mark here.

All I said after Game 2 is he didn't look ready for Origin. He didn't even last 2 minutes in Game 3.

I was right. You were all wrong. You guys can make excuses all you like, but I was right.

Did I mention I was right? Turns out I was. And you guys were all wrong.

For someone that passes themselves off as an over the hill male mchunt sure does make a large number of posts that resemble that of a teenage girls’.

 

[McHunt]

Lots of players had a game to forget in Perth. Nani's defense was terrible, Taulagi made a few errors, DCE had one of his worst games in a queensland jumper - was just ineffective all night, everyone basically said Papalii is done and past it, Capewell missed 10% of his tackles and only made a small amount of running meters, Felise's sin bin - was kneeling on the guy for way too long which basically caused us to fold. etc.

Game 1 Cobbo showed he's more than equipped to handle it. Lots of players in Game 2 fell to pieces and Game 3 - he never got an opportunity. If you're going to say the head knock was in any way an indication he isn't ready, then I'd like to introduce you to the list of players who have all been in that same position, copping a concussion in an SOO match, you'll find pretty much the who's who of rugby league there.

He wasn't "more than equipped." He was the worst on the field in Game 2. It's no insult to give the kid a year to mature. Kotoni got dropped after only one game, and he looked more ready than Selwyn.

You wish.

 

[tommy]

You wish.

That is so fetch.

I mean it's true, Cobbs clearly wasn't ready for Pat's hip to his head. A more seasoned player is far better equipped for that type of certain eventuality.

Whether or not he was ready for origin is up for debate but getting KO’d by a collision is not a good indicator one way or the other.

Guess Cam Murray isn’t ready for origin either, nor Collins.

Any news on who is replacing Cobbo? Hoeter/Periera?

 

[mrslong]

Any news on who is replacing Cobbo? Hoeter/Periera?

Cobbo was named on the extended bench so it will be whoever played his side last week.

 

[BroncsFan]

Cobbo was named on the extended bench so it will be whoever played his side last week.

Which was Pereira.

 

[1910]

No injuries, only bumps bruises and concussions.

 

[Jason Simmons]

He made an absolute meal of Game 2, and then lasted less than 2 minutes in Game 3. That's not valuable experience. That's traumatic.

Sorry is this the same guy that lasted 2 minutes because got knocked out by an accidental head knock from his own player?

Pretty strong brief there counsellor…
