PRE-GAME Round 18 - Broncos vs Bulldogs

[Alec]

Not really mate. He is 185 CM.

Those numbers often seem inflated. They have guys like Kodi and Matt Bowen at 175 too.

Next two games are teams below us on the table. And then we meet the Storm.

Well at least we can win 2 out of our next 3.

Wouldn't it be something if we pulled a cowboys and got in the 8 against the odds.
I will be backing the boys to do just that. Especially if they keep the same mindset they have over the last couple of weeks.

But this team needs both Turps and Seggy in the side. For me they both bring an attitude that seems to bring the boys together.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were inflated. I'm 173cm and he was definitely shorter than me, at most we are equal height depending on shoes Can't see him being 12cms taller than me.

Isaako to center pushing Herbie to the wing and Coates back to cup. Coates's is a great prospect but put him back now after a win , needs some time in cup.

Seibold said that if Coates and Farnworth performed well against the Sharks then they will continue to be picked in the first grade squad so Isaako playing centre is unlikely.

Sorry if I have missed a previous post but is Dearden back this round?

If we're looking for a centre other than Coates or Farnworth, Perese has been killing it in QLD cup the past month. Scored 3 tries, produced 4 try assists and has been very hard to bring down. Has been shrugging off defenders like they're nothing and has made plenty of metres and tackle breaks for a centre.

How’s his defence?

Did Seibold sign Perese, or was it Bennett?

Hope he gets a chance eventually, but might be too old for Seibold (>20)

 

[Super Freak]

How’s his defence?

Defensively, overall he's been good. In the past month he's made 47 tackles and only missed 7.

I don't think he would be a bad option. His form has been good and I think he deserves a shot.

'Officially' Seibs, but the deal was basically done mid-2018.

The real answer is Peter Nolan, the guy responsible for Greg Eden and Troy Dargan.

 

[McHunt]

Did Seibold sign Perese, or was it Bennett?

Fun fact: Ponga, Su'a, Perese and Brodie Croft played together at Churchie: First XV 2014. Pretty decent side.

 

[NSW stables]

It would be interesting where he is sitting on seibs' KPIs.

How are his defensive reads working out? In attack, he looks to be deceptively strong, a bit like staggs.

that link appears broken.

but while he may have talked to the club in July last year, he never actually signed ... for all we know, Bennett decided to pass on him.

IIRC, he had a train and trial deal during the pre-season when he won a contract. that contract would have been on Seibs request.

the defection actually happened in December, when seibs was head coach
