Round 18 - Broncos vs. Sharks - Pre Match Discussion

[1910]

... grrrrr.

Damn I hope Hannant plays. He really is our go to man and forwards organizer.

Not Lama.

 

[rnabokov]

No, I thought you meant the other Taser :laugh:

Damn I hope Tasi the Taser plays and has a nice long look at Carney before he moves in for the hit

 

[Porthoz]

That'll do me. You want Tasi on the wing he got injured yesterday and hasn't even signed yet!

He hasn't? Why is the official site saying he did?
Broncos Sign Little Brother Tasi - Brisbane Broncos

Too bad he got injured though, I would've had him ahead of Maranta as well. Well, I would probably have Scott Anderson ahead of Maranta on the wing ... :001_rolleyes:

Do you think Maranta is FG material?

Team sheet in- Kemp out this week.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Shattered.

 

[Kimlo]

Shattered.

FFS aye? Every time it looks like he might get a chance he picks up an injury :cursing:

 

[1910]

20 gone and Baptiste has scored a try and set one up with a smart kick.
He's doing his best to play the Sharks.

Will Hook bother picking him if he is leaving at the end of the year though??

Where is Baptiste going?

Where is Baptiste going?

Rumoured to be headed to Penrith.

Wow I didn't know that

 

[Alec]

Where would he play for us? Can't see Griffin dropping either of the current hooker buddies (as much as most of us would want to).

 

[Splinter]

Time to forget about the Storm game and concentrate on our next game vs the Sharks.

We will be without our Origin reps (Thaiday, Parker, Gillett and Hodges)

Hopefully we should get Kahu and Hannant back (Broncos website has him out for 4 weeks and he was injured in round 13)

likely to be without Reed to injury

I would probably go with:

1. Norman (only until we get our Origin players back, then he can piss off)
2. Maranta (only due to mass injuries in our outside backs)
3. Hoffman
4. ????? - find a center from one of our QLD cup affilliates and give him a shot.
5. Kahu
6. Prince
7. Wallace
8. Dodds (he looks to have improved heaps this year, good defender as well)
9. Baptise (give him a shot)
10. Hannant
11. Glenn
12. McGuire
13. Oates/Timu (test out one of our youngsters

14. McCUllough (hopefully demotion to the bench wakes him up, if it doesn't kick his ass back to the QLD CUP)
15. Tasi
16. Hala
17. Oates/Timu

agree with most of this. I would slot Oates in at right centre for this game

 

[Splinter]

I suspect this will be our line-up...

1. Corey Norman
2. Jordan Kahu
3. Corey Oates
4. Josh Hoffman
5. Lachlan Maranta
6. Scott Prince
7. Peter Wallace
8. Josh McGuire
9. Andrew McCullough
10. Ben Hannant
11. Alex Glenn (c)
12. Nick Slyney
13. Mitchell Dodds

14. Ben Hunt
15. Lama Tasi
16. David Hala
17. Dunamis Lui

Meh.

Could be a few changes and I hope Hook makes an example out of Maranta but we're between a rock and a hard place right now.

I am starting to think maybe McGuire at lock

Terrible after that Norths had 70 put on them.

 

[Big Pete]

Meanwhile Delroy Berryman scored the match winner against the Seagulls.

Ivan put him over.

Residents picked this week. Some Broncos might not be playing NRL this week.
